I also cut out a lot of my in-between meal snacking and instead have a piece of cheese and a cracker or some veggies and ranch. I have cut my portion sizes at dinner to one serving. I still have chips but instead eat baked Lays. If I eat corn chips I measure out one serving in a baggie and only have that much. I have managed to lose 55 lbs in 9 months. I feel much better and have a new way of eating now and I do not feel deprived. I do occasionally treat myself to pasta or other rich foods. I just don't over do it and will cut down on the rest of my food for that day. Good luck. Almost forgot, before I started this new way of eating I went to my family doctor. She told me the amount of calories it would take to maintain my current weight. She said eat less than that and you will lose. As I went along I had to keep cutting back the calories. I hit a few plateaus and when I did I would cut back a little more and then I would start losing again.
