A realistic diet for someone who doesn't like veg or salad??

I'm the same way; never got a taste for most vegetables or salads! A stone isn't too much to ask to lose, cutting out 'some' carbs, high fat foods, and making sure you get enough protein will help. Of course, exercise is the best way - running will help, but until it gets lighter or warmer in the evening, try increasing the little things; parking far away and walking, stairs instead of elevator, etc.
