Start eating breakfast.
Even if it's something very light, you need to re-train your metabolism. Eating breakfast (or rather, not fasting from last night's dinner to the next day's lunch) will keep your metabolism up and you will burn more calories throughout the day. Always eat something. Yogurt, piece of fruit, hardboiled egg whites, 1/2 chicken breast, small can of tuna, light protein shake... Those types of things. Just eat small portions if you're worried about your daily caloric intake, but eating anything (rather than nothing) will kick-start your metabolism.
I'm looking to loose some weight too and I've been reading about intermittent fasting which seems to have become increasingly popular. It basically requires fasting until early afternoon. I have only begun this a few days ago so haven't seen results yet, but it's easier than i would have thought.
Here's some information here. http://www.leangains.com/2012/06/why-doe...ungry.html
I've found IF can be effective, but for people making big changes to their diet/exercise regiment this can be very hard to maintain and end up being ineffective.
I would suggest trying something like the slow carb diet which still allows you to eat a normal amount of food at your normal times, but helps you to learn more about what you are eating. Plus you also get 1 day a week to consume whatever you want, including alcohol. You should also see results in the first week.
I lost about 35 pounds in less than 5 weeks and I did zero exercise the entire time. Once I had that routine down I was able to start mixing in exercise and IF concepts and it was a much easier adjustment.
