Food is my problem too. Well, it is everyone's really! I must have a turtle's metabolism too. No matter how much I try to lose weight, I just stay stuck at 95kg. A few years ago I did manage to get down to 85kg, but that involved pretty extreme dieting and lots of exercise too. I maintained the weight for about 6 months, but then I slowed down on my exercise (I started playing World of Warcraft, and missed classes...) and my weight increased. Then my wife got pregnant, and I guess we both pigged out a bit. I have been trying to lose weight again for a few months, but I still seem to be 95kgs. Actually, I will weigh myself now, I I do feel a little slimmer at the moment.......nope, still 95kg. When I lost weight, I adopted the following diet, whic hI do not recommend....

Breakfast - muesli
Lunch - soup
Dinner - tinned mackerel in tom sauce.

That was it. It was hell. I was hungry. But it worked. Some days I would have a chocolate bar in the afternoon as an award for doing so well. I think that this extreme diet lasted about 2 weeks, then I increased food. All dieting stopped at the weekend - I could pig out at weekends. I cannot seem to muster the willpower to do that again!
