Best weightloss plan

Apologies - there must be loads of these threads - I've not been on MN for ages so haven't seen them.

My H left nearly a year ago and I lost A LOT of weight because of it all, but now it's all crept back on. I'd like to tackle it and lose it. Also my DD has been emotionally over eating and has gained a lot of weight - she's in Y7 (I have spoken to a local eating disorder support and counselling group who have advised that we just focus on healthy eating and not get overly bogged down with 'dieting'. As you can imagine, this is causing me a great deal of anguish as I don't want to draw attention to anything for fear that it turns into a full blown eating disorder.

So, from your experience, what's the best no nonsense, straight-forward healthy eating plan that I can follow to improve our health where DD doesn't really notice that we're on a diet?

Thanks in advance

I know you are right and we do a lot of that already. I realise that it is partly to do with puberty, but she has been over eating and secret eating and buying things at school and on the way home to eat. I don't mention weight, but other people at school have started calling her fat. She's mentioned it a few times. On the whole, we do eat healthily, but I think it's portion size too. She also gets really narky if I give her a smaller portion. I don't give in, but my god, is there a tantrum afterwards.

I realise upping the exercise would help - but this is a bit tricky as she's the eldest of four and I'm now on my own since their father left. Maybe though, now the nights are getting lighter, we can all bike, scoot or run to the park and play for a bit. Maybe that's doable.

if you want to lose weight you need to combine exercise and proper nutrition. Only if you'll carry both items you will be able to lose weight and see results on the scale and in the mirror. You should choose the [url=happybody.tv/core-strengthening-exercises-for-tight-midsection/]exercise program[/url] and [url=happybody.tv/vegan-diet-and-weight-loss/]diet[/url]. You should feel a lightness and energy rather than fatigue and hunger. I believe you can do it!!!
