    Me too. You don't need to cook. I've been buying salads at Trader Joes. I look at the calorie count on the package, and I don't go over 1400 for the day.

    Usually I can have two salads a day, a hard boiled egg and some fruit.

    If you're just starting out, this is an excellent posting to read: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

    Losing weight isn't easy, but it's not very complicated: eat less than you expend in basal metabolism, daily activity, and exercise. I lost 47 pounds in 2013, and 18 more in 2014. I didn't follow any fad diets, I didn't cut out anything (though I eat less breakfast cereal now than I used to), and I didn't deprive myself on special occasions. I just made sure that most days I had a deficit of 250-600 calories (a larger deficit at the beginning, a smaller one toward the end).

    Good luck!
