The first thing to do to stay motivated is to set a clear goal of how much weight you want to lose, in what period of time and how you’re going to accomplish that. Commit yourself to exercising a fixed number of days every week. Don’t accept any excuse you make up not to go – there’s rarely such a thing as being too tired for a 30 minute workout session

Turn your house into a junk-free zone. Throw away any junk food you have left. Don’t ever let anyone else bring it into the house – threaten to shoot on sight those who try (you can tell the police they were trying to break in). Stockpile only on healthy foods, such as cereals and fruits. The objective is to make sure that even if you do get those late night cravings, you only have something healthy to satisfy them with.

The free E-book on this site might be just what you need to help you lose weight. It’s a free download so at least it won’t hurt to try it.

Cut out on all ‘white’ foods and eat wholegrains instead such as wholemeal bread & pasta, brown rice and porridge oats. They’re more filling, more nutritious and less fattening.

Do NOT try starving yourself. Always make sure that you have 3 main meals everyday and drink plenty of water. It’s also important to snack healthily and regularly as it keeps your energy levels high and also means that you never go hungry. Things like fruit, nuts, seeds and granola bars.

You don’t necessarily have to adopt a vigorous exercise programme down at gym in order to help shift the pounds. Simply walking to places more often is a great way of keeping in shape; if you use public transport for try getting off a stop early for example, and use stairs instead of taking the lift.

You could take up a new sport or hobby together with a friend, or even along with a wider group of friends too. Even better if a band of mates undertake the same programme together – you could act as cheerleaders for each other.
You could all join a yoga class or a step class, play tennis, go swimming… the possibilities are enormous. Just do what you and your friends like to do or would like to learn to do and have some fun!

Well take this all with a grain of salt as i’m sort-of in the middle of a weight loss program right now, in any case.

Switch from regular to diet soda. That was big for me, realizing that my 5 and 6 cans a day could add up to 800 or calories a day and that it would be nearly all sugar.

Not eating after like 8pm was big for me too but it may mean nothing to you.

Exercise is always good. Find one that makes you sweat after 10 minutes as well as being one you can stand doing. 30 minutes every day is better than an hour 4 days a week and so on. (I could be wrong on that but i feel pretty good about its truth)

Lastly, have someone you know give you support. If they remind you about the exercise and compliment your progress that should help keep you going.

It also never hurts to talk to your doctor, worth a shot, good luck!
