I weigh 130 lbs and I want to lose about 10 lbs in 6 months time... I strongly believe in a healthy, balanced diet, and i don't want to use any supplements, slim fast type of stuff. I gained so much weight in US, I used to weigh 115 lbs when I moved here. I don't know where to find a good calorie calculator.. I love to cook and I mostly use organic food supplies. If you can let me know if there is a good online resource or a book that I could use that will be great. I am thinking I am not eating enough and my body has shut down.. and i want to eat (who doesn't?) but I don't want to eat to gain weight... thank you... you all have been great!!!

Out of interest, try inputting chicken - if you can find a result for chicken which is grilled without skin and no salt or oil you are a better man than me! thanks for the site anyway - cheers
