[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Count calories. You will be hungry at first. But then it gets pretty easy. [/quote]\

This.  Use an app to count calories (I used MyPlate).  We eat more calories than we realize.  The app helps you see that and keep you in check.  Read labels.  I was shocked at what really is high calorie vs low calorie.

Tips that helped me:
- Craving a mid day sweet?  Eat a pickle spear.  It strangely curbs a sweet tooth.
- Craving chocolate?  16 dark chocolate chips (65% cacao)
- Having the munchies and want to eat a lot?  Popcorn with spray butter and a touch of salt (not the bag microwave popcorn)
- Starving at the wrong times?  A string cheese and 2 turkey slices or a Slim Fast smoothie.
- Stay clear of salt as much as possible.
- Portion your food out before you eat (never eat out of a bag or container).  You will guard your portion with your life.   :D 
- Every seventh meal you can eat whatever you want but watch your portion. 
- Ask yourself before you eat - am I actually even hungry?  After you’ve eaten a few bites ask yourself, am I full?  You will learn how your body works the more you do this.

Also, I have found that skipping breakfast (with the exception of coffee) and eating dinner no later than 6pm help hugely.  HUGELY.

I lost 21 pounds in four months 3 years ago and have kept it off.[/quote]
