I'm 5 ft 7 and weighing it at 13 st 4lb, so I imagine we are similar.
I've done the 'shakes' diets and always lost weight with them but then I miss food and frankly I have bad habits, I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I'm sad.
Then I have those 'oh I'm already fat I might as well eat ALL the ice cream anyway' days.
i've only had one bad slip up during a bad day while on antibiotics for a tooth infection where the only thing stopping me feeling sick was lollipops :/
I'm the same, i used to eat when happy, sad, bored, excited. Its taken alot of self control to stop that habbit but so far im defeating it!
Good luck with your new start! And keep us posted on your progress
