I use myfitnesspal.com to count cals which I find very helpful. I also tend to eat some tesco light choices meals all under 400 cals

In myfitnesspal (mfp) you can also add in your own recipes, so it works it out for you

Do you live at home? If you do and your parent cooks lunch/dinner you can ask them to use fry light which is a spray oil for cooking with.

Try and follow the rules, in the stickies at the top

Try joining an exercise class, Zumba is good, and is fun! Generally lots of classes around, and normally about £5 a class. Also loads of different body shapes go to the classes! I do and I am 14st ish

Good luck, and we are here to talk to!
