here is some advice that helped me lose some weight. Eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of three. Your body will learn that it is being feed and won't have to store fat to keep energy. Don't let yourself get hungry. Once you start feeling hungry, your body goes into defensive mode and when you do eat, it starts to store everything. Weigh yourself once and then don't touch the scale for another 2 weeks to a month. When you only see minimal weight lose, you get discouraged. What you need to remember is that muscle weights more then fat, so even though you are losing fat weight, you are gaining muscle weight. The best way to determine if you are losing weight, is the way your clothes fit or by taping (measuring) yourself peroidically. Best of luck to you and another thing that you could do is find a training partner that wants to push you and help you achieve your goals. If you tell them I don't feel like working out today, they won't say "oh ok", instead they say "thats nice, get your shoes on and lets go!"
