It is hard..especially when there are so many way to eat healthy and lose weight. You know..in the end, its all about calories in and calories out. If you have more calories going out than coming in, you lose weight. So that's what Im doing. I used a website that told me how many calories I loose daily based on my height/weight/activity level and then log my calories for the day. I add any workouts that I do and aim for a 500 calorie defecit (for a 1-2 lb loss a week). This way, I have leeway with my foods and dont have to completely cut out sugar, carbs, etc. Your body needs all that stuff. So, if I want to have a slice of cheese pizza, I do and eat more low fat/ fat free for my other meals or I work out a little more. Good luck..theres a lot of information out there..its just about finding what works best for you!
