Couple of things that worked for me:

Porridge for breakfast - made with skimmed milk and use fruit to sweeten not sugar etc - keeps me going to lunchtime with no mid-morning cravings

Soup for lunch - no bread with it - again, fills you up with relatively low calories

Added to exercise regime it helped me lose a fair amount of lard in a short time

I've been having soup for lunch for a while but just started on the porridge for breakfast instead of cereal.

I'm 6ft and was 20st.
I jst started to eat alot less, was hard to start, but soon got used to it.
I lost 3st in about 3 months.
My target is 15st.

Simple things made all the difference-
I used to have 2 chicken kievs, loads of mash and beans.
I now have 1 kiev, 2 tablespoons of mash and peas.

I used to get my lunch from greggs- sausage rolls(yummy), cakes and sandwiches.
I now take food to work with me, grilled chicken, mixed veg and rice.

I also started very gentle jogging- about half a mile 3 times a week, although ive stopped as my right knee was hurting.

I know it may sound harsh, but IMO, 99% of fat people are fat because they shovel to much food into their mouths.

Try cycling, it's kinder on the physique of the more rotund gentleman.

Chicken Kiev mash and peas is the best meal in the world, my right knee is also knackered and I'm 6ft+
