hi, im new to this site, im 46 and have weight to lose myself it is very hard though i have lost 2 stone and still have 2 stone to lose. i sometimes stick to same weight for days and nearly give up but i am begining to see a difference now which gives me incentive to carry on. i find eating at regular times help a lot i have breakfast of piece toast and cup of tea or coffee, then at 12 i have main meal then at 5 i have a light tea either egg on toast with cup of tea or a sandwich. i have found fruit very good but i dont like salads so i had to find something to suit me and it wasnt easy. so my advice to u is find something that suits u work out calories of food u eat and cook less think of portion size very best of luck to u .kind regards linda
