Hi Joejoe, this may help you. I have Eggs for BreakfSt always as it protein & very sustaining till lunch time.

Lunch is Salad & steak or fish or Chicken. Try & stay away from Carbs bread Pasta Rice.

Eat Avacardos nuts Macadamias as a treat. At night only have Sao biscuits with a little Cheese & TomToes. I never eat after 6 pm drink plenty of Water. That's it. I hope it helps.

Hey you need to be accountable to someone. Send me your weight as from Wednesday tomorrow then send me your weight every WednesdY from now on. Watch your weight drop. It's amazing when you have to account to someone. I hope I have helped. Try not to eat much fruit as its full of sugar. Limit it to one only. I've kept my weight down since having a major hip operation 30 years ago. Am 56 kgs. It works.

Good luck. Rob xx

That's great advice rob - I agree with all that - just trying to put it in practice - it's hard regime though to get started on that - have to be strong willed particularly with a family to consider

Agree and I've found it easier to record my weight of an app on my phone. I put in a realistic target as you don't want to get disillusioned and I weigh myself each morning. It tells me how long to go to get my target weight, how many extra calories I am eating and a nice little graph as well which when it starts falling is a great incentive to keep going! If you don't think you have the will power then Rob's idea is a good one if you need encouragement or need to be told you are slipping.

Hello! You can have high-fiber heavyweights:

Fruits and vegetables.Enjoy whole fruits across the rainbow (strawberries, apples, oranges, berries, nectarines, plums), leafy salads, and green veggies of all kinds.

Beans. any kinds(black beans, lentils, split peas, pinto beans, chickpeas) you can add them to soups, salads, and entrees, or enjoy them as a hearty dish on their own.

Whole grains.Try high-fiber cereal, oatmeal, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, whole-wheat or multigrain bread, and air-popped popcorn.

If you are just starting you need to be focus and motivated. DONT think of short term. Get support from friends. keep things steady and use tools to track you progress.

Try to have a work out plan. Set a single goal and get started and stick with it for a few weeks. There's no need to commit and try to a 2 hour daily workout, just start with ten minutes of brisk walking and go from there. Just make sure to keep moving always. You have to eat fewer calories than you burn. Certain foods can help you shed body weight and they are beans, soup, dark chocolate, pureed vegetables, eggs and sausage, nuts, apples, yogurt and grapefruit. Load your shopping cart with lots of lean protein, fresh veggies, fruit, and whole grains.

One look at the horror of the skeletal concentration camp victims says everything about body weight. Those poor people had no choice but to lose weight as a consequence of insufficient food quantity and quality. To my mind the key to losing excess weight is the opposite to gaining excess weight, based on the concentration camp victims, but not to such a horrendous extreme. Just eat less is the answer. "How?" you ask. My best answer to that is to follow the regime taken by a friend of mine. She threw out full size dinner plates and bought medium size plates. Meals were sized to fit the smaller plates. She had a sweet tooth and liked to snack on Mars Bars, so she cut them into quarters, ate one quarter a day and kept the rest in the fridge. With this new way of eating she was still able to enjoy all the foods that she liked, and soon got used to eating smaller quantities as her stomach became smaller. She lost a very noticeable amount of weight in 2 months! Try it!

To start your workout you should set an ambitious exercise goal. You should set an exercise goal, even if you know you won't make it. According to research from the College of Public Health and Health Professions at the University of Florida in Gainesville, "Most of us accomplish only 60 percent of our weekly fitness goals." It's also important to make your diet simple. "Too much variety actually stimulates your appetite," explains Hollie A. Raynor, PhD, RD, assistant professor of research at Brown Medical School in Providence.
