The only way I’ve ever been able to lose weight is to keep a food journal, write down everything you eat and drink every day. Jot down the number of calories from packaged foods and drinks, you might be surprised what is (or isn’t!) fattening.

Don’t “diet” but instead try to figure out what you will be happy eating long term that is good for you. People who are able to keep weight off don’t usually follow an exact diet they read in a book, but instead figure out what works for them as individuals (I read that in a Consumer Reports article reviewing various commercially marketed diets). You can use a particular diet as a starting point, if that helps you, and then charge it to fit what you like.

The first week keeping a journal, don’t make any goals, just get an idea how much you are currently eating. Then start to set small goals one at a time, like reducing the number of snacks, eating smaller portions. If a particular kind of food seems to be your weakness, try to find lower calorie alternatives you like just as well, or if you can’t, you might want to limit the number of servings per week. You can also set goals like trying a healthy food you’ve never had before. But be gradual when you set goals. Don’t try to do too much at once, and don’t get down on yourself if you don’t meet a goal.

It does help to increase exercise. But whenever I try to stick with some list of exercises, I always let it slide eventually. So that never worked for me. It helps to find something active you do for fun, or it is just part of daily living, that you don’t think of it as exercise.

Most important, it’s about health, not weight. Many young women are way too thin, which is harder on your body than being overweight. Taking care of yourself may not seem important now, but when you get older, the better care you take of yourself when you’re young, can pay off by giving you a better quality of life. Eat good food, relax and don’t get too stressed, find activities you really enjoy, have fun.

You should try to avoid working out consecutive days, your body needs time to rest and replenish what it lost in the workout. If you only have 30 minutes a day, make em count, you should try a cycle of exercises for each muscle group.

Here is a great system for your goals, it is what I currently do and it is pretty intense, one set of each exercise and cycle to the next, repeating the process for about 30 minutes

Make sure you stretch before and after and as for diet, eat lightly before workouts and replenish afterward with protein, carbs, and most importantly, water!

Everybody is different and so is they way they must approach weight loss. For me having 2 kids and a crazy schedule I had to find something I could do at home and did not need to much time investment.
I discovered Unique Hoodia which is a appetite suppressant. I’ve tried other supplements but had no luck. Hoodia was a little expensive but cheaper than fitness equipment!

It worked for me, just thought I would pass this along.
