GOB here is a little diet ( I use that word loosely) that If you are not a picky eat can help you lose enough to get started on your way to weight loss..

You absolutely HAVE to follow the diet EXACLTY or it will not work.
I have seen several people do it and it worked for everyone that followed the diet to the letter.
I have also seen other people that didn't follow it exactly and id didn't work at all.
You can user the diet for 3 days to lose the 10 pounds then go off it for a few days and eat sensibly to maintain your weight then go back on it and lose 10 more and so on. It doesn't work well to use it for 6 or 9 days straight to attempt to lose 20-30 pounds.
Anyway like I said you can't be a pick eater because there are things on the diet that you have to eat like beets and plain tuna fish and broccoli and you have to eat them and cannot substitute other things for them.
Hope it works if you try it....
I can also tell you that my Dad was in a very similar situation as you are and he cut out eating one meal a day and lost a lot of weight. He would have his coffee and something light for breakfast, skipped lunch and ate a sensible Dinner and cut out all the snacking in between meal and he lost a lot of weight in a short period of time.
