you really should have a diary -makes it a lot easier to get support when all your thoughts are in one place...

as for this question

Keep track of your calories and stay within a reasonable range (use the formula that's in the stickied threads to give yourself an approximate range yo shoot for) Keep track of your calories and eat what you like.

You will never be successful on this if you are depriving yourself and thinking of it as adiet - it has to be a lifestyle change - where you incorporate what you enjoy...

Hi. I used to be in your shoes. Sometimes I still feel like it...

What I had to start doing was work on changing my diet one meal at a time. The first week, work on eating a healthier breakfast. I used to only have cereal (loaded with sugar!) or muffins, and crap like that. Now, most mornings, I have scrambled eggs (2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites). If I'm still hungry, I'll eat some fruit. After that, it was lunch, and then dinner. Starting out slowly really helped. Also, my trainer had me keep a food journal that I had to bring in every week for the first couple months. It won't help me now, but back then it helped a little to make me realize how much I was actually eating. For lunch and dinner, I usually have fat free hot dogs, very lean beef, grilled chicken (I will throw in a little of brown rice or use a small amount of ranch for some flavor) and turkey. I keep telling myself I'll eat more vegetables, but that is the one thing I can't make myself do. As for snacks, it will usually be fruit, sugar free cookies, or something else that is generally low in calories. You sound exactly what I was like up until a year ago. Since then, I am down 105 pounds. Before that, I was working out at the gym, but I wasn't being serious and failed to change my diet. I was kidding myself, and until I made the choice to give up eating crap that was doing me no favors, I was just simply staying the way I was. I was going to wish you good luck, but you don't need luck. You need willpower. You have it in you, if I can do it, so can you!
