Hi Cindy!
Well this is the place for support and understanding! You'll love it here! Just make time to post, or try and read through the forums. We all understand! Planning is going to be a great component for you. This is your only life, so make 15 extra minutes to put your meals together. You are important, you should do this for yourself! Calorie counting might work good for you in the beginning, you can plan your meals and stick to a certain calorie # everyday. Also trying to add more veggies and fruits to your day instead of other snakcs definitely helps.
This website is very helpful for food lists and snack ideas:

Well I just wanted to welcome you to the site! We know you can make this goal a reality!
A great book to check out of your local library is The Fat Smash Diet. It's a super easy read- and very basic plan to follow. You usually lose 10 lbs in the first 10 days. It's a great healthy eating plan. But really no matter what diet/healthy eating you pick, its up to you and what you think will be best.
Ready to lose the freshman 15...and more!
So I've gotten up to 162...ack...and am hoping to get back to at least 140. I tend to yo-yo and I must have lost and gained back this same 20 pounds at least 5 times so far! I know it's not too terribly much, but I'm here for motivation and ideas because I have been unsuccessful on my own for quite a while now!
