I've always been big, am not at my heaviest now but getting help from the dietician at our surgery. She says:
1. Always eat breakfast, - this 'wakes up' your metabolism and starts it working on the food you eat throughout the day.
2. Exercise - early if you can, as this raises your metabolism all day. 30 minutes of moderate exercise (hot and sweaty) per day is recommended - doesn't all have to be in one go.
3. Keep a check on what you are eating, using a food diary to record everything, one day a week and one at the weekend.
4. Weigh yourself once a week, same time, same (or no) clothes
5. 500 calorie deficit (less) per day every day should lose you 1lb per week.
Hope that helps - best of luck everyone trying to lose weight
