To Lose weight: I admire you for your concern for Health and lose weight safely.
Veggies/coffee/oatmeal is not a Healthy Diet.
Have Balanced Diet with Protein, Fat, carbohydrates, Minerals, Vitamins and Anti-oxidants.
Start with 1500 Calories/day and daily exercise to lose weight.
Walk, hike, swim, dance
Set goal of losing 5-8 ponds/month.
