bread and weight loss

I am not able to have surgery right now but am still wanting to try and lose some weight.  I am not a big meat eater so I use protien shakes sometimes when I dont want the meat.  I and a big bread and veggie eater.  Is whole wheat bread and pasta ok as long as I am not eating fat with it?

It's not as much about the carbs and fat as it is about the total number of calories you eat. If you want to lose weight, reduce your calories. Usually this starts with you starting to journal your daily intake.  Plug it into one of the on-line programs to calculate calories - get an idea of where you are now.  Then, look at it and see where you want to cut.  Maybe change your calorie drinks for no-calorie.  Maybe cut your portions. Maybe visit a dietitan :) good luck!

That is a great idea about a food journal.  I hear about others using them but i never thought about using it to count calories.  Could you please give me the name of one of the sites where i can go and calculate what i eat so I will now what my intake is.  I am 299 lbs and 5 ' 6 I work long hours every day sitting behind a computer.  What should my intake be in order to lose around 3 lbs a week.

A lot of people on OH use fit day or spark people.  You can try those!
