Yeah we are trying to do the same, intitial goal is to eat more fish and veg, so have come up with the current rota, to start us down the path..
As you say is difficult when all you want to cook during winter is heavy stews. Think a way out of that is to introduce more grains and beans, and cut out the white foods. -
One year ago I had similar feels - I am younger and sans children but had still piled on the Christmas goodness.
Lost 16kg this year through exercise and controlling my eating (volume mostly). Everyone is different but the weight loss thread does offer lots of good advice.

Having the incredibly original NY thought that it's time to start eating healthier. After three months of being largely housebound with a new baby and reverting to hibernation mode, eating heavy food and drinking strong booze my body is crying out for healthy food and exercise.
Apart from anything else I appear to be about two stone overweight and am alarmed to find that I now get out of breath on the stairs. As someone with two young kids who has fairly quickly slipped from being relatively healthy to being overweight, over-drinking and back on the fags, I'd really like to halt the decline to avoid having a heart-attack by 45.
Wife is adamant that we flip from being inactive, permanently soused and eating bacon with everything to being full on gym bunny teetotal vegans overnight. My view is that this will lead to inevitable failure. Part of the problem of trying to turn around months of feast-induced lethargy at this time of year is that it's still dark and cold and the instinct to hunker down and treat yourself to comfort food is strong. I know, I know weight loss thread>>>>>>
Anyway, am trawling recipe books for relatively healthy nourishing and tasty winter food to shop for.
Looking forward to lots of soups, stews and other wintery goodies.
