Looking for Friends

I have been working out and exercising five days/week for the past 9 months.  I initially lost 20 lbs within the first three months and then continued to maintain the rest of my weight for the remaining 6 months.  Still wanting to loose more weight I recently decided to change my eating habits and counting calories.  I have been limiting my calorie intake to roughly 1500/day and after the first 5 days I have lost 2lbs.  I never really watched what I ate until now.

I just got on here.  I've been watching calories and thought and I thought I had been eating around 1200, but really I was eating more I think.  Especially, now that I started this and realized that some of the veggies are higher than others etc.  I just started yesterday on here Feb 19.  I"m not looking for a diet, but a lifestyle change.  It's kind of difficult. 

I'm also on this shot that makes some people gain weight, but for me I think it's just hindering me from losing.  Plus, I just graduated from college, and so I'm not running around as much as I used to.  haven't gained any weight, just want to lose some to make clothes fit better.  

 Nice to meet you!

You are exactly right about a lifestyle change.  As I have grown older and my metabolism has slowed I have found out the hard way that I can not eat the same way I did for years when I was younger.  In college I used to live off of pizza and beer and not gain a pound, but now I really have to watch my calorie intake.  Good luck in your endeavors and keep in touch.
