[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You can just cut out the crappy foods, and snacks, keep to 3 meals a day and reduce your portions.[/b] That will make some inroads if you don't feel like calorie counting. I calorie estimate. I'm also 5'7 and I'm down to 140 from 167 (I am also 53 so older!).

I estimated 300-400 calories per meal x 3 for several months and I was losing 1-2 lbs per week.

It doesn't sound like you need to lose as much as I did which is why I suggest just keeping an eye on what you are eating, and cutting the crappy stuff.[/quote]

to this.

If you have never had to count calories before then it means you probably have a decent diet. It also sounds like you know exactly where those extra calories are coming from vs the folks who come on here saying "I swear I  only eat broccoli and have gained 20 lbs."

The general rule is to do the bare minimum to lose weight. This is usually most sustainable.

I would start by doing as suggested above. If the scale really won't move then start counting.[/quote]
