text: Lose the weight for yourself not to just look good when you meet your father for the first time.  Start by changing your eating habits.  Then drink plenty of water and coffee and tea aren't one of them.  Then you should start and exercise program maybe even just walking 3 or 4 times a week. And if you really want to lose that weight limit the evening eating say no eating after 6 or 6:30pm  Good luck with your weight loss.
