hey guys

this is my first time posting here so first i'd like 2 say hi. right well my problem is that i need to lose weight and don't know the best way 2 go about it. i'm 5'5" and a US size 8 and i'm aiming for a 4. my diet at the moment is really bad, full of carbs and crap, so i'm lucky not to be about a size 16 lol. anyway last summer i did a high protein/ low fat/basically no carb diet and got to a size 4 in about 7 weeks, trouble is i felt sooo tired and moody and brain fogged. in october i had a miscarriage after 3 months and got v.depressed and stopped working out etc and put the weight back on v. quick.
i now have a ball in 7 weeks time and need 2 get down 2 a size 6 (4 would be nice) however i am currently studying for my end of year exams for my history degree and can't afford 2 feel brain fogged.
looking over cutting diets lots of people seem to eat oatmeal with protein 4 breakfast, and i love oatmeal!!! would my weight loss be significantly slower eating some carbs for breakfast? i was thinking i could have the oatmeal after HIIT. i would really like to find something that i could stick 2 as a lifestyle, rather than a crash diet if u know what i mean. many thanks.
