Something is tickling the back of my memory telling me I might have written this somewhere here before or something very like it, if thats the case Ill throw this here anyhow because its relavent...
I can offer some advice, I pretty much go to the gym 7 days a week now and have been off hand studying and applying nutrition concepts for almost 3 years... I have come along way myself...
1. I think a lot of girls think that to lose weight you have to eat less. Thats not true. If you eat less your body adapts and starts storing food as fat quicker so it can use it for energy later while your starving yourself. It is very important to eat at least 6 times a day on a nutrition plan. Eating at least 6 times a day, smaller meals, sky rockets your metabolisim which helps you burn fat effectively. Think of food as fuel and your body as an engine, the more fuel it gets (good fuel) the better its going to run. You dont have to have a big meals over to course of the day, but you do have to eat frequently.
2. Those 6 meals have to accumulate to a healthy calorie deficit if your to lose weight. That is, less calories than you would normally consume in the day. No brainer here... once those calories are used your body looks for other means of energy, namely fat, and burns these sources when everything you have eaten is used...
3. A healthy calorie deficit consists of a balanced diet. The less processed your food is, the better. That is, the less your food is played with and altered before consuption, the easier it is for your body to break down the food in your system. Try using spices and the like instead of sauces to flavour your food. If your trying to lose weight, limit your sugars and stop your carbohydate intake by about 4 or 5 pm. Carbs are the main energy source in the body and you need them early in the day to get moving, but any carbs unused during the day will turn to fat at night when your sleeping, so we cut them off early to make sure theres none in the system by the time we call it a night. This does not include fiberous carbs found in veggies, they are more than fine to eat any time.
4. While eating frequently during the day keeps your metabolism high, it is not enough. You have to train at least 3 times a week to keep healthy, active and strong. Cardio is all good girls, you'll burn fat that way for sure, but make sure to weight train aswell and work on being lean. Guys, skip the cardio altogether, hit the weights, cardio will burn some muscle as well as fat and thats no good for us.

) Now,just because the chocolates are sugar free doesn't mean they're calorie free. I had one of the chocolates today & found out that it's 170 calories per serving!
It was really sweet (pardon the pun) of my sister to buy the candy for me. I just wish she'd looked at the calories on it. I have been exercising though. And some of my clothes are beginning to feel loose on me!
But at least you lost 18 pounds.
