Try cutting back a little, eat 5-7 smaller meals a day. Go to the specific diet and nutrition forum and read "grocery list for healthy eating" and "max dietary deficit for fat loss", 2 very informative threads. Another is the "diet thread" in the same forum. Hang in there, you'll get where you wanna be, just remember, weight loss takes time and dedication. -------------- Days go by and life drags on.....

I have had 3 major heart surgeries. My left side of my heart is enlarged, and I need to take this weight off. My recent weight about 9 months ago, was 109. Then all of a suddenly I started to gain. Now I am 125, somedays I reach as high as 129. Where do I begin? How do I lose the weight and keep it off. Not just for myself but for my health as well. Concerned, Rain
