Eat a decent but healthy breakfast such as branflakes for fibre. Try making your own fresh fruit smoothies and drink loads of water throughout the day. Medium lunch and small tea. Don't eat too late if possible.
Fruit or fat free yoghurt mid morning afternoon if you're hungry.
Watercress soup is good for lunch, get a blender and make it yourself, i love it. Get a flask and take it to work or microwave it. Take more than you need for lunch so you can have a mug later of it if you're peckish mid afternoon.
Tea have some fresh steamed fish or grilled lean meat such as chicken with some fresh veggies and fresh fruit salad for afters. Maybe buy a George Forman Grill.
Get in tune with your body and learn to know when you're hungry, don't eat everything you have cos it's there, just enough so you're satisfied, you could find 5/6 small healthy meals works better than 3 ones.
Cut out fizzy drinks and proceeced foods such as microwaved meals or tinned foods. Cut out snacks, crisps and sweets takeaway and alcohol. Cut down on bread, high fat and high sugar products. Switch to skimmed milk and sweetners and get active.
Buy a pedometer and try to walk 1000 steps a day, walk to and from work or get on and off the bus a stop later, go for a walk in your lunch hour, take the steps rather than the lift etc... Go swimming and maybe do some gym cardio classes.

Watercress Soup
1 bunch of watercress
1 onion
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
1 lb potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 Pint vegetable stock
salt and black pepper and herbs to taste
Pick over and wash the watercress, discarding any damaged leaves. Cut off
the leaves, chop roughly and reserve. Chop up the stalks. In a large pan,
add a little of the stock, the onions, garlic, watercress stalks and herbs,
tied in a bundle with string. Stir to coat everything in the stock, cover
and leave to sweat over a low heat for 10 minutes. Now, add the potatoes,
salt and pepper, and the rest of the stock. Bring to a boil, and simmer
for about 20 minutes, or until the potato is tender. Remove the herbs.
Stir in the reserved watercress leaves. Process in batches, until the
soup is smooth. If you do not have a blender, sieve the mixture before
adding the leaves, pushing the softened potatoes through the mesh as much
as possible. Chop the watercress up more finely, and add to the sieved
soup.
Either way, return to the pan and re-heat before serving.
