Overweight: Trying to figure a way to lose weight

Hello,
Bottom line eat less exercise more.
I lost 88 pounds only 2 more to get to my goal of 140 lbs.
I'm a candy fanatic so it hasn’t been easy but I want to remain at this weight and changing my diet and portions is the best way for me. I believe that whole foods are best and I stopped eating processed foods, frozen except vegetables berries no cans unless it's no salt added (tomatoes and
tomato sauce) and no low/no-calorie items. I went to to a nutritionist and was shocked at the portion sizes they wanted me to eat.
Good luck to you,
Jake

Leonard,
You said the magic words.”Whole foods” and the magic sentence “...stopped eating processed foods”. You’ve come a long way baby!

Good advice here...smaller portions and more exercise. May I suggest that you try to eliminate as much white flour as you can from your diet and read the labels on foods. Avoid juices and eat the fruit instead. You know there are a lot of calories in beer and alcohol if you drink any of those. Don’t deprive yourself because then you will sabotage yourself. Think of all the aisles of junk food in the supermarkets. Head over to the veggie department and chose leaner cuts of meat with an emphasis on chicken and fish.
Calorie counting can be cumbersome for some. Be mindful of what you fuel your body with and think of food as delicious medicine. My favorite way to cook fresh (even frozen) vegetables is to coat them with the oil of your choice , season them and fling them all into a 425 oven because the taste intensifies that way.
Your going to feel so much better...right @jakedduck1 ?
