This is my first post to this forum. I am 51 years old and need to lose about 30-40 pounds. Currently I am trying to keep my calories under 1500 (1800 on the weekends!) and working with a low GI type diet. My progress is slow but I don't feel deprived. I have lost 8 pounds since the middle of November. My goal is to be another 30 pounds thinner by May when my daughter graduates with her Masters degree.

Wish me luck and keep me motivated!

Hello JJCaraker! I am also new to this forum and I have to say that I this is a great site to learn not only how to lose weight but also how to stay healthy. I also lost about 35 lbs from counting my calories. Right now I limit my daily calorie intake to 1000-1200. However I started slow and the progress indeed was not not fast but I agree that you do not feel deprived. You can give your body time to adjust to the diet if you take your time too. I never wanted to be hard on myself when I started dieting because I know that if I deprive myself of food, at some point I may give up and get too "hungry". So right now I am happy with my weight and my achievement. I'm sure that you can do that too.
