Alright, here are a couple of questions for you.
 
1)  Are you playing your position properly?  Meaning are you making marginal calls out of position making more difficult decisions post flop?
2)  Are you raising the hands that you enter preflop in order to eliminate drawing hands?
3)  Are you paying attention to the texture of the flop, and adjusting your betting appropriately post flop?
 
My guess is that you are entering the pot with calls rather than raising, and you are getting multiple callers in unraised pots.  I'm also guessing that you are playing some hands from early position that are somewhat questionable, which makes for either a push/fold decision post flop depending on the texture of the flop.  
 
My advice to you is to be aware of your position at the table, and the ammount of players who enter the pot.  If there are multiple players limping into the pot and you are in late position, raise the blind to eliminate some of the weaker drawing hands.  This will also give you a good idea of where you are at in the hand.  If you don't feel comfortable raising the blind preflop, that should tell you a lot about the strength of the hand and you should probably fold right there instead of getting into tough decisions post flop.  And the last thing is to recognize the texture of the flop and bet accordingly.  In the lower limits, you will almost always have someone call an all in on a drawing hand post flop, so slow your betting down a little bit post flop against drawing boards.  It's better to win a small pot than lose a big one.
