I just started dieting this week but my weight loss goal isn't too far away. I am currently 172lbs at 5'-3" and I'd like to get down to 140 or 130. My best friend had a lot of success on the nutrisystem weight loss system, so I am giving it a try for a few months. Saves me money because I'm not going out for lunch everyday and helps keep my calorie intake low.

I eat about 5-6 times a day, but very small snacks (except for breakfast/lunch/dinner). I try to eat slower which makes you fill up faster. Its really all about portion control and eating food that is good for you. I've started snacking on natural nuts, greek yogurt, light cheeses, and veggies.

It is hard for me because I really love food, especially junk food and chocolate. Self control is hard, especially when I have a fridge full of food in front of me. I try to keep myself occupied in other ways so I'm not just on the couch eating. Yoga, walking the dog, biking, crochet/knitting, playing with reptiles. Just keep yourself busy

We should make a bp.net weight loss thread so we can all get support from each other. That would be nice
