Saintc explained it very well not much to add, but I want to add, for me it’s a change of Lifestyle when it comes to weight loss, right eating and such. Lot’s of people change diet, lose weight and turn back their old unhealthy habits of eating. Finally back to gain weight. There is just a way to eat right or wrong. No weight loss diet.
And there is balance. The right amount at he right time. Even with low carb stuff. It all start in the Head. IMO.

It's hard when you are living at home. It's a long road, but I was able to re-educate my mum, it took many... I wouldn't say heated, but frustrating (maybe) discussions before she started to understand that I wasn't insulting her cooking, just that I was trying my best to lose weight and improve myself, and my diet (and food intake) was holding me back.

She was kind of got into a habit of cooking lots of processed foods, or deep fried foods, because they were "quick" and "minimal effort" foods. If it could be cooked in about 10-15 min with little to no effort required she'd cook it. She is a great cook, and when we were younger used to cook really good meals all the time, I think she just started getting lazy.
Now it's curries, stir fries, meat and veg or salad, stews, casseroles, that kind of thing.

Been really on the healthy foods this month and I feel good, it's funny really as I was munching on some blackberries yesterday I thought "there isn't a chocolate bar that tastes better than these!", when your doing right it just seems the most obvious thing in the world, I hope to keep it up!!
I'm lucky that the girlfriend is also up for changing our lifestyle so it makes things easier if we are both aiming for the same goals and eating the same food. As there is only the 2 of us in our home what we do is make a meal for 6 as it is more cost effective (and most recipes don't cater for 2), eat 2 portions that evening then freeze the other 2x 2 portions in foil containers (looks like a takeaway then!! ;)) for later consumption. We found that making for 6 then not freezing it wasn't good as the next day you may not fancy eating the same again and by the 3rd day your bored of it, you've got nothing else in, it's too cold to go to the shop, takeaway is very easy......y'know how it goes!!
So for those living at home, maybe you could make up a few batches of food for the freezer then it isn't going to be a load of extra hassle for whoever makes the family meal as you can just chuck something like a healthy curry or lasagne in the oven and eat at the same time. There are some real good healthy recipes out there and I'm guessing once the family have tried some they'll be up for cooking them also as most people want to shed a few pounds or feel healthier!!
I've said this before but I will get round to putting some healthy recipes up on here!

Maybe its just that im growing..... Probably but im still overweight.
Viking:
I try not to see it as overweight, just if I am happy or not, I'm not happy at the moment so am doing something about it. I'm guessing when I get to where I am happy with the way I am I will still be considerd overweight by health professionals!
