That's been working for me.
I was REALLY REALLY big and I hated going to the doctor because I knew he'd read me the riot act. He even threatened to toss me as a patient if I didn't start taking my weight seriously.
So I've gone from 340 to 250 since July. I credit most of that to "LoseIt" on the iPhone. It counts my calories for me.
I didn't need to change WHAT I was eating too much, only how much of it I was eating. Some things I dropped like french fries because there was just way tooooo many calories. But most things I am still eating but reducing the portion.
One thing I can recommend is Weight Watchers bread. If you make a sandwich with deli meats, usually there is more bread than filling. With the weight watchers bread, the meat sticks out the sides. Less bread = less calories.
So Saturday I had 2100 calories, Friday 1900, Thursday 1200, Wednesday 1900, Tuesday 1900, Monday 2000. So I'm not starving myself. The iPhone is giving me a limit of 1600 per day + whatever I do for exercise. So on Mondays I swim for 45 minutes which burns 450 calories, so my actual limit is 2050. Like I said, it seems to be working thus far.
