Congratulations on taking the first step towards your weightloss goals!
I have lost 22 pounds this year, and I did it through drastic diet change. I had a goal in mind, so it was easier to work towards a specific goal, I had to attend a special event and wanted to have lost weight by that time, which I did.
I got tremenduous support from people on this website. One of them suggested to enter my calorie intake on the dailyplate.com, it really helped.I realized that I underestimated the calorie content of some food ( bagel is a good example) and overestimated the calorie content of other foods ( usually veggies). It helps to have a tool where you can see it all in writing.
Some days I ate very little, some others too much. It was an eye opener to see how many calories my drinking on the week end costed me!
The quality of the food you eat is paramount, however, a lot of healthy food will result in too many calories and weight gain in the long run.
Taking Omega 3 and Chromium for sugar craving can help.
Best of luck!
