[quote=Anonymous]OP, I started using www.loseit.com to count calories -- having never, ever counted them before.

I got a kitchen scale that made measuring potions (I rook from scratch a lot) extremely convenient.

When I make pasta for the kids, I will take just one 2 oz serving -- I was surprised to see how little that was.  I was always eating 4 oz for a serving, and usually had seconds.   Now, I just have a 2 oz serving and I top it with some healthy vegetables.

I learned the the calories from the wine I had been drinking (and the juice) REALLY added up.   Actually cutting out wine/juices started me losing just 1/2 pound a week with absolutely no other changes.  I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm in my mid-forties and had been gaining weight pretty steadily so anything in a downward trend was really important.

Instead of wine, we now buy naturally carbonated mineral water by the carton and drink it in a wine glass with ice and a lot of lemon slices.   I drink a LOT of water.

ALso the late night snacking I did was adding calories.  It was mindless.

Finally, somebody posted this here a while ago and I keep remembering it:  "You have to get used to never feeling truly full."   I never feel hungry, but I never have that fully satiated, I'm so stuffed feeling any more either.

I do exercise as well, but not very much.   I'm still able to lose about .5 to 1 pound per week, and it's not that difficult.  Had to give up the wine though.   I measure
