I lost approximately 100lbs nearly two years, and I've managed to keep most of it off. I'll tell you a formula that is generally accepted by nutritionists and should help you in your quest to lose weight. Take your weight, multiply that number by 10, and you have the amount of calories you need to consume daily to maintain your weight. For instance, if you weigh 200lbs, then you would need to consume 2000 calories in a day to maintain your weight. Simply put, if you consume less than that per day your weight will go down. Also, any calories burned during exercise will reduce that number. It really boils down to a number's game. I actually ate a lot of Subway, and for as dumb as the ads are, the subs are super low cal and can be helpful. Good luck.
