But for real, might be lame but if you don't already have a calorie counting type app then I'd suggest getting one. I used MyFitnessPal whenever I needed to lose a little weight and that thing was phenomenal. Just about any food you will ever eat you can scan it or type it in and it'll tell you everything.
Don't drink your calories. That was my hardest shit, Gatorade is my life. But you realize all that shit adds up so I just stuck with water and a Gatorade would last a week. My dessert if you will.
I've never had to lose more than like 10-15 pounds but that app really was great and it always does the trick. Just seeing what you're eating, mainly limiting the amount, is huge. One time I was eating pizza for lunch 4 days a week with no issue.
I have been using the fitbit app since I have the watch for it too. I have been logging in my food, water count, weight loss, workouts, and more. I have been drinking lots of water lately and I have learned that I shouldn't drink anything else besides tea or coffee!

Eat more complex carbohydrates. Slows digestion, prevents your blood sugar from spiking, great poops, keeps you full for longer.
Drink lots of water while eating. Makes you feel full faster.
When you are full, your brain doesn't tell you right away. It'll take awhile for you to lose your appetite. Eat slowly or eat while doing some other activity. I eat while playing multiplayer games that I can't pause so I'm forced to eat slowly.
If you get really hungry between meals, stave off hunger with an apple or a banana. They're actually great at keeping you feeling full.
Low calorie foods that will keep you full: some soups, cucumbers, watermelon Protein is also great at keeping you full. Eggs and lean meat.
Thanks! What are some examples of complex carb foods? Potatoes?

Lots of good stuff already mentioned. Especially count calories and don't drink calories. Also try to get good sleep and progressively make your workouts harder.
Yeah I have been trying to workout progressively harder at the gym! Just need to work on my sleeping schedule... ---
