Diane, I changed what I ate and portion size. I try to eat salmon and another white fish every week. I didn't watch "calories" just what I ate and amount. I find that if I eat as soon as I get hungry, I stay satisfied throughout the day. I believe in eating every two hours. It might just be a handful of almonds or a piece of fruit, whatever healthy item I can think of. I have also been trying to incorporate more MUFAs such as almonds and olives, etc., and that seems to be helping too. I do splurge on weekends but I continue to watch my portions. So I will order say, a hamburger but only eat half of it. It takes will power and if I fail, I just change the next day. In other words, if I eat all the french fries, I don't beat myself up. I just eat really good the next day. Life happens, and as long as I don't go crazy day after day, I should be able to maintain. I watch what I eat Monday thru Friday, slack on Saturday night and Sunday. Works well for me! Best of luck to you on your weight loss and DO throw yourself a party when you hit that 25 lb mark! :o) Anon
