Hi and welcome, MSoden

Whilst exercise is great for fitness and well-being, it's much less important than the correct diet for weight loss.

You don't want to decrease your intake of natural fats, as they're important for so many things, although fatty processed foods, like doughnuts and pies are best avoided. Have a look at this, for a more modern approach to weight loss phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...

If you eat too little, weight loss will also stall and this will explain further healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh..., so if you're going to be counting calories, make sure you get a personal allowance from the NHS BMI calculator.

I hope this helps. Perhaps you are not eating enough of the right foods. Celery is good for roughage. Try eating more vegetables, steamed not fried. I have found that If I do not eat so much meat, I lose weight. I avoid gluten too now and again. That helps me. Good luck, Jenny V
