Is there a healthier nut to munch on? Almonds? Popcorn?

Hey, I'm a lot like you...I need to lose weight. Started at 332 last year and my goal is 190-200.
Since we're in this together, I'm asking for an agreement. If you agree to motivate me, then I will absolutely commit to not wasting your time nor energy, to take your tips and motivation seriously and of course reciprocate to ANYBODY out there that is looking for an honest, candid and sincere motivator while changing their lifestyle.
Do we have a deal? (Handshake and a pat on the back!)
My podcast/blog is really just a way for me to remain accountable for my weekly progress and for once and for all change my life FOREVER.
I hope that I didn't bore you, but a profile (to me) is something that you can read, understand where I'm coming from and hopefully have a good, clear mental snapshot as to who is behind the typing.
I hope to help as much as possible as well as get valuable tips and support from this site. Thanks for reading and I hope that you'll come to me when you need motivation or a little kick to get you going. Man, my fingers hurt. My goal weight is per month, NOT the overall goal. I find that monthly goals are a lot more motivating and recognizable rather than saying "I need to lose 90 pounds or so".
Each month, my goal will change. BTW, my monthly goal is at least 8 pounds loss.
Peace and lets get going!

I toast my own raw almonds and also mix in walnuts and hazlenuts. Those seem to be the healthiest. Peanuts are too easy for me to over do it with. I just don't buy them.

I am in the same boat. I am addicted to all kinds of nuts: peanuts, cashews, almonds, pistachios.. you name it. I try not to have them around.

Pistachio's got shells, so do walnuts, that'll slow you down.
My dad used to get a 20lb bag of unshelled walnuts every year, took forever to get through.
Or was it 50lb, a big sack anyway.

Nuts have high caloric density. I know there are healthy benefits to nuts. However, if you are counting calories...you may want clearly understand what your caloric intake is.

Being insulin resistant, I have had weight issues since childhood. About 3 years ago I was at my heaviest weight at 90kg. Over time with diet and exercise, I brought the weight down to 66kg. Over the past year the weight has slowly crept up to around 73kg. The main reason is that I cheat on my diet. My workout routine: about an hour of step aerobics done to home videos 5 days a week, resistance training at the gym for about an hour each, 4 days a week and and 1 hour of yoga once a week.

My mom and sis too find that peanuts are a trigger food. Once they start they find it tough to stop.
Just do not buy them. we all have trigger foods. I keep well away from mine.
All nuts are calorie dense. So Icwould heed KM's advice.

I love almonds, but I'm always shocked by how few you get for 30 grams (~180 calories). If you eat them slowly and wait five minutes, they do "kick in." The 30 grams of almonds and an apple are a favorite snack/ mini-meal for me, though... Weigh it first, don't dive into the bag!
