Approach weight loss one meal at a time, one week at a time. Tweak a little to make it work for you, and then turn it into a habit. In the first week, eat breakfast. In the second week, while you stick with your new habit of eating a healthy, low-calorie breakfast, you’ll move on to lunch. In the third week, you’ll focus on snacks. In the fourth week, with breakfast, lunch and snacks up and running, you’ll move on to dinner.

DAILY GUIDELINES:
Calories: 1300 to 1600
Calories from fat: approximately 30 percent
Fiber: at least 25 grams
Calcium: about 100 mg
Saturated & hydrogenated fats: no more than 10 percent
Fruits and vegetables: at least 5 servings a day
By having breakfast, you don’t need to scarf so much down at lunch. By having 5 to 6 small plate sized meals in a day, your metabolism gets put to work more. After each meal, your metabolism gets put to work.

The point is to incorporate the changes slowly. Don’t do it all at once! Be sure to have calcium daily and to take a multivitamin. You can start your daily calorie intake at 1600 (it needs to start of higher), and then gradually, you can bring it down to 1300.
If you incorporate these hints along with the hints I gave previously, you should see great results. GOOD LUCK! --Veena
