Hi Isabel

When I decided to lose weight - my weight had been static pretty well (within 3kg) of what I was when my last baby was born 7 months prior. I am on weight watchers but the one thing that it really made me do was look at what I was eating. I realised that I was eating too much bread and not enough fibre. When I cut the bread and upped the fibre (Allbran is great) I felt so much lighter within myself and my metabolism kind of kickstarted it's self.

Some tips that I follow are

* Skim Milk - low fat as possible
* Limit bread intake - You don't have to eat wholemeal - just less white
* Up protein intake - fish, meats etc but within reason.
* Diet softdrinks such as Coke Zero are my saviour - I don't drink coffee but love my coke zero!
* Lots of water
* Really try to up the amount of fibre in your diet. I found this made the biggest difference to how I feel within myself. Try some high fibre breaky cereals for a week and see how you feel.

All the best
