I'm trying to lose 10 lbs...but have been unable to. I'm hoping this will help. I have noticed when I cut back on the portion amount I feel much better later, then when I eat alot.
I'm gonna have to start measuring my food. Thanks for the tip. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yea, I do the portion control thing. I do it with my cereal, rice milk, and foods other than meat. This was one of my tips that helped me lose over 40 lbs. Give it a try!

When you're 5 foot 3... 10 lbs is almost 2 dress sizes. Alot of my clothes are too tight and I can't afford new ones. Thanks for the encouragement!

Portion control is key. You'd be surprised how much over the serving size we all eat of most foods.

I try portion control but I get soooo hungry. Even water wont stop my stomach growling. How do you all do this and not get hungry? My job requires that I be able to really concentrate and when I even try to go below a certain level I get week. I am also really tall, so that affect my need for food.

My mom has been dowing portion control and exericizing on the treadmill at our house and went from a size 20 to a loose 16 in like 2 months. She's well on her way to lookin good for the summertime!! (BTW she is 5'9 like me so the size looks smaller than what it really is)

well how many meals/snacks are you eating and how often?

This is difficult for me, but I've been doing it for a little while now. My main problem used to be eating the WHOLE plate because it tasted SO GOOD. Now, I've been keeping my portions very small.

I am going to try this. :)
