I lost 75 pounds by exercising more and counting calories. I recommend counting calories, at first especially because you'll find out exactly how much you're eating. I was eating more than 3,000 calories a day which is a lot. Aim for about 1400 calories a day if you want to lose about a pound a week.

Easy ways to cut out a ton of calories. If you follow these tips, you'll feel full longer AND eat less calories.

1)stop drinking soft drinks(lots of calories and they dont even fill you up)

2) Eat more protein and limit carbs. Remember, a serving of spaghetti is like a 1/2-1 cup, not the 3-4 serving size you get at Olive Garden.

3) Eat whole grain over white bread.

4) When eating fast food, dont order the fries and the drink. If you get a combo, get a diet drink and eat only half the fries. (Which can save you 400 calories). You'll probably feel just as full

5) dont eat before you go to bed! If you do, just drink a glass of milk or a handful of nuts
