I have a very similar goal to yours and i want advice on how you changed your diet to lose weight 

Hi! I hadn't been counting calories and my weight crept up 13 pounds since Christmas. I figured the best thing was to see where most of the calories came from, and looked online for calorie counters. This site offered that and a bit more. I just cut back - on calorie heavy foods like dark chocolate, medjool dates, helpings of pasta, snacks of potato chips - that sort of thing. I still enjoy them, but in small(er) quantities. And I weigh in every day to keep an eye on it. I put on those 13 pounds when I stopped weighing myself, and then I knew I was up there and was afraid to get on the scale. If I can hold my goal weight for a week or so, I'll increase the calorie count a bit to keep it stable. Hope some of this makes sense, and helps!  

Oops, sorry - I posted that under my husband's journal instead of my own (he is 'antique mariner'). Also sent you a follow request from him by mistake, but think I've now done it under my own name as well. Ignore his!  

Thanks
