Unhappy 14lbs to loose

Hi,
I'm finally ready to start doing something about the weight that I have gained over the last 3 years. I'm starting an exercise routine today..or at least I'll exercise today I'm still trying to map out a rountine but need help with my diet. I'm a big snacker which is my problem I don't like sitting down to huge meals i like to pick away but that probably leads me to over eating or eating bad things. An example is my favourite thing is salsa and chips so I make home made salsa which is all fresh tomatoes, cilantro, pepers all good for you and I crisp up some whole wheat pita bread torn all apart so it's thin like chips. I love it and would be happy eating that all the time or leaving the pita hole and piling it with all different veggies and a little bit of tomato sause as a mini pizza (no cheese even) but i probably end up eating two -three pita's at 130cal each and it's all carbs right?? Anyway I'm 29, 5'5 129lbs female and was wondering how this is for a plan for food I was thinking for breakfast a couple of eggwhites, for lunch veggie salad with itatlian dressing for a snack when i get home some cut up peppers or other veggies and for dinner either salmon, chicken or lean ground turkey with lots of veggies/salad and occasionally some brown rice. (I don't like fruit so that can't be a snack and I don't like tuna so I can't put that on the salad at lunch) Right now I eat soup or salad for lunch and then do lots of snacking through out the evening usally not really having a dinner just cheese & crackers, maybe a lean cusine or a handful of pretzles...just stuff here and there. So when I think of sitting down to a "meal" I worry about gaining even more weight because an hour later I"ll want to snack so I guess I skip the meal and just snack cause I know I"ll do it anyway?? Any advise

Re: 14lbs to loose

Your Proposed plan does not sound like very many calories a Couple of Egg whites for breakfast is nothing. Your Pita and Salsa is Good. Just keeping track of your calories can be the single most important thing you can do. Dont Worry about Carbs...you need Carbs for energy....just keep away from bad high calorie carbs.

Re: 14lbs to loose

I think one thing that would really help you is find ultra-low-calorie snacks. I have a tendency to nibble too so I try to keep stocked on certain things such as carrot and cucumber and celery slices (I dip 'em in fat free dressing for taste and usually can fill myself up for 100 calories or so). Another snack I like is pickles, I can have five or six pickle spears and only consume 30 calories.

Another thing I do a lot is suck on hard candies or gum. This makes me feel like I'm snacking but really I'm working on the same 5 calories for half an hour.

I find these tricks really work for me, and you're near enough to your goal weight that little tricks might be enough.
