I Want to Lose Weight

I tried to do sports and eat healthier in the past but it never really worked. There were some minor changes but in the end I need to lose 60 pounds. Mostly I lose around 16 pounds when I'm ill, but that isn't a ideal solution. In a few weeks I will move to my own place, my first real apartment and I hope that I will be able to change my eating habits when I am buying and cooking for myself.

Although I'm definitely positive that I'll need some help in form of experience from other people who have lost that much weight. i'd like to know some recipes and stuff, what to eat and not be hungry anymore after it, not many calories etc.

Maybe even some tips for the mind :)
