I think this is the best advise anyone ever gave me about weight loss. I ignore it at times, but for the most part, I find it absolutely amazing how many calories I was injesting. You sit down to a snack or breakfast and think, that looks like a cup of pretzels/cereal. Nope. Not even close. measure your food!!!! And make sure your not cheating yourself.
Don't start so quickly that your just going to give up too soon. It took me 12+ months to get to a point where I was satisfied, but I do know that in order to get to the "ideal" weight for my height (BMI says I should be about 190lbs, as if that is attainable at 6"3").
Take it slow. Enjoy the ride. And understand that there are going to be days or even weeks where you are going to fall off your weight loss wagon. Just remember to get back up on that wagon.

I don't know how many calories you are injesting now, but realistically, it should be 2500 a day as you and I are about the same height. And try to eat 6 times a day with smaller portions. This keeps your body at a constant level. Also, I found my greatest weeks for weight loss was when I cheated! It seems to confuse the body with the change in caloric intake, and when i got back to the diet, the pounds came off a little easier that week.

Good luck.
TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.

One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
