    Hi all, sorry if this is the wrong place or has been asked before.

    I'm 37 now, I started running and cycling last year to lose weight and get back in shape. I'm 5' 6" and was 13 stone. I lost 2 stone and got fairly fit but my body fat content was probably still pretty high. I was slimish but still soft.

    I put on 8lbs over Christmas due to overindulgence and an injury that has stopped me doing much since October. I've lost that weight now but want to drop to 144lbs, that's another 10lbs. I'll drop that once I get more active again. I'd like to know a lot more about nutrition so I can lose fat as well as weight. I'm pretty clueless at the minute.
    Do any of you know of any cheap or free online courses I could do to educate me?

    Thanks in advance and sorry again if this is in the wrong place.

    If you read all the stickies and links in this forum that would be a good start and very educational and free.
