I have been reading the above posts and thought I would chime in. My high weight was 184.6 in May of 2008. I am 5'4" so that registered obese. I lost about 15 pounds and then held for a long time. Then I just decided I would write down everything I ate and ramp up my exercise. I have tracked all my food intake and exercise on fitday.com for almost a year and a half. I gradually figured out that if I eat less than about 30% fat, I am STARVING. I try to eat healthy fats (almonds, avocados) and if I stay around 30% I can eat a lot less and not feel like I am so hungry I want to chew on my arm. I am down to about 22% body fat and feel great - I would like to lose about another 8 pounds. I have been losing about half a pound a week (lost over 46 pounds so far), and figure I will keep doing the same thing when I reach my goal - just eating a little bit more of the same ratio. My husband and sons all have raging metabolisms and it is disappointing to eat a tiny amount of food compared to them, but that is just the way it is.
