Well actually I did change some things.  I took the advice given previously and have only started to eat when I'm hungry and it amazes me how little food I do consume now.  I still love a big dinner though.  Still I am down to 65.8kg and still losing although very very slowly.  Dont mind so long as it's coming off.  I found that the major change I had to make to lose these last few kg is to lose the carbs.  It does make a huge difference, not only to your weight but also to your cms and hunger.  I have lost 3cm off my waist measurement since I replied last.  I read a book by Dana Carpender who has been carb free for many many years and is about my age.  She goes right into a lot of information and arms you with a routine that your comfortable with.  I think she's great.  I also bought a few of her cookbooks but they are American if your prepared to covert the weights.  A rundown of what I eat now is

Cottage Cheese or Coconut milk shake with fruit, egg & protein powder in it for breakfast or if I'm feeling energetic I might cook an omlette or eggs.  Not often though.

Lunch is usually meat & salad of some sort.

Dinner is either soups, stews or meat & veg/salad.  Of course I had to cut out the milk and substitute coconut milk in these instances if the recipe called for them.  I of course have cut out all flour, sugar, dextrose, grains, rice, potatoes & any breads at all.  However having said that if I really want a piece of cake, I'll have one.  I have to live the diet and not hate it so I have to keep my happy factor content.  I do however make sure it is dextrose cake if I have it.

Snakes are either cheese or nuts.  Once you say goodbye to all the carby foods it's so easy just not to go there anymore.  I don't have cravings, I don't want them and they don't have power over me anymore.  I love it.  I'm finally in control of my hunger. 

Anyway hope this helps.
