I do not eat Snacks.

my best friend is my weight scale.< /span> I always seem to guess more than it really should be.

only bread I eat arnolds sandwich thins or flatouts.

I try to eat more veggies - steamed and raw.

lots of Water - lots.

love that exercising you are doing!

be gentle with yourself, try not to compare to others.

I think you are doing fine. keep going for the goal!!!

While I agree pretzels and potato are high in carbs; I would consider oatmeal a good carb. My understanding is that it does not spike your blood sugar; and because it takes a while for your body to digest you feel full longer.

Try to cut back on or elminate the high glycemic carbs.. such as white flour, bread, rice, Pasta, potatoes and corn.

I try to eat low glycemic foods. www.glycemicindex.com and that helps quite a bit with the hunger.

22lbs in 5 weeks is an awesome rate. Keep on keeping on.

As mentioned, try to stick to Protein Snacks first - string cheese, a few nuts. You are losing weight well (why does everyone want to lose 30 pounds a month?!). My doctor advocates snacking, so it all depends who you went to, I guess. You have to find what works for you.
