Ok, so I am about double the weight I should/would like to be.
I've started Slimplicity and Personal Training Sessions at the Gym, to help me get there..
The exercise is not hard - I love it. I go every day, sometimes twice a day, and I have 2 (soon to be 3) personal training sessions a week.
Its my diet that I'm having trouble with..
See, when I sit down to eat a chicken salad, or what not…it's so horribly boring.
It tastes boring, the texture is boring.
And so, the chicken salad ends up in the bin, and I end up with Maccas for dinner…
Is there anything good for you that actually tastes good too?
skip the salad I hate salad, but I love veggies give me a plate of veggies and I am in heaven. I also love rice, tuna and veggies that is my version of salad

You don't say what's on your salad. Do you add lots of vegetables? How about low cal dressing? Oh my, yes, there are tons of good tasting foods! Try sprucing up your meals with something like "Mrs. Dash" seasonings. Use chicken or beef broth to make your rice. Food doesn't have to be boring. There are loads of cookbooks out that have great tasting low calorie recipes. Try them!

Isagenix is working for me. I am 55 and have gone from a size 14 to an 8…and working on losing to a 6. The great thing is I have two "shakes" a day and a reasonable meal and the "me" is becoming smaller. I can now fit into my 21 year olds jeans and I love it. My husband has a new wife! And he loves it. I am sleeping better, have more energy, thinking clearer and loving life! I love Isagenix.

Okay. Cut out eating in between meals.
Only eat healthy food and cut down on Carb’s like bread, potatoes, pasta's, rice, cereals, lollies, fruits etc. These are the fat making foods. Learn exactly what your food groups are so you then know what puts the weight on and off.
Don’t add salt to your meals. Cut out soft drinks.
Then walk an hour every morning two hours after a meal and the same in the afternoon.
If you can jog in between both sessions you'll burn even more calories. But just do what your body lets you do. Walking is just as good combined with diet control.
You should lose and continue to lose more weight as you go.
If you can cut out your lunch meal and replace it with a protein drink instead that would also help. Available in supermarkets. Like “Slim Right”.
As long as you can stay off junk food and eating in between meals. If you have to eat something in between have something like small raw carrots or celery sticks.
Herbal teas, low fat milk and water are your best choice of drinks.
Summary:
Choose a cereal low in sugar for breakfast. Remember all cereals are carbohydrates!
Lunch can best be a protein drink. Like “Slim Right”.
And all normal meals at a normal serve. Cut down on potatoes and only have small portions of these. Walking as much as you can.
For those that want to build more muscle add some gym work to the above as well.
Technical Stuff:
All our bodies require a specific quantity of a protein level. The protein is taken from the food we eat. If we eat higher concentrations of protein from specific foods like say meat then that level is reached quickly. If we don’t eat enough protein then our body searches for other sources of protein contained within the Carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates only contain a small amount of protein so we end up consuming too much of it just to get out limit of protein. At the same time absorbing too much sugar from the carbohydrates and in turn too much weight. This is how and why we put on weight. Many people over eat because they don’t consume enough protein from the right sources. Then they over compensate by binge eating carbohydrate type foods.

I like Kashi frozen dinners. They're very tasty, and very low in calories. Cambel's Select soups are quite good as well - and again, low in calories.
If you're wanting to create your own meals that are healthy, there are a lot of options. Try looking online for low fat recipes, research what kinds of foods will work better for losing weight.
When I talked to my doctor about losing weight, she recommended going to the American Heart Association website: http://www.americanheart.org
I've found that I don't have to give up all the foods I love in order to lose weight - moderation and portion control are key. And exercise will take you far
