There is a lot of really good information here. Check out the sections on exercise and nutrition - and pay particular attention to the sticky threads.

Its a good idea to get a free account from in order to log your food and see your calories and other nutrition. You can also log your exercise there and see your calorie balance to understand the deficit which should give you the weight loss.

If motivation is an issue - it may help to join a challenge. They are a good way of egging each other on and helped me a lot (I have come down from 21 stone to 9 stone with this forum).

I am running a challenge which has been going a week - but you would be more than welcome to join in. It is called Summer Shake Up. There are other challenges out there too that you might prefer.

Either way - good luck.
