Plus i have a dog and go for mile walks daily and playing with him in the garden like a lunitic

Welcome kai123! It certainly sounds like your pretty active but remember one splurge at the dinner table can wipe out all the hard work you've done in the gym.

The whole question is: how many calories are in the foods you mention? find that out, make the needed adjustments, and your on your way to fat loss.

Welcome to the forum.

I found that I had to cut out all the starchy carbs to get some weight loss happening...

Looking at your food - you appear to be eating an awful lot of such things...

Try cutting out (or at least cutting down on) all the bread, cereal, cereal bars, pasta, rice, potatoes etc and replacing with fruit and vegetables - especially vegetables... Maybe it will work for you. There is no denying that standard vegetables are really good and you appear to be filling up on the starchier stuff leaving less room for veg...

As Knotty said - at the end of the day - total calories is really important... If you can count your calories it will bring you to the definite answer.

I suggest that you read the following thread - it may help you settle in and make friends
