    What exactly do you need help with? Might help narrow suggestions people make. Just a general "help me" can lead to answers that you don't find helpful.

    You seem to be doing okay on your own! Well done on your loss so far.

    Good job on the loss so far.

    The best advice I've received:
    - set mini goals. I always work in increments of 5kg. Half ways through the current one and slowly stumbling towards the 'overweight' as opposed to 'obese' category. I already know EXACTLY which jeans I'll be buying for that occasion!
    - if you stumble, pick yourself up and keep going. A bad day does not equal the rest of your life! Consistency is far more important than perfection. After all... we're all human.
    - Make small changes that are sustainable. If you're ready to kill after a week, it might not be for you. A lot of small changes accumulate. It's like moving a mountain. Don't try to move it all at once. But if every day you move 1 or 2 stones, that mountain is eventually going to be gone.

    oh and, the stickies at the top of the forums have a wealth of good information.

    If you need more specific help, you'll have to be more specific :smile:

    There is really only one thing you need to know - and I guess you know that already. The only way to lose weight is to reduce calorie consumption.
    It doesn't matter what you eat or whether you exercise. But a diet is far more palatable if you eat a nutritionally rich and varied selection of foods and ramp up activity as you get thinner.
    I have finally discovered that starting on a very low intake and then ramping up portions of healthy foods like lean protein, wholemeal carbs, fresh fruit and veg and full fat dairy 100 cal portions at a time as you get to maintenance protects the metabolism.
    I'd monitor weight, calories and activity every day. Over time you'll gain knowledge from your own stats.
    Good luck!
