healthier weight loss happened after a) getting rid of chemical birth control, b) getting my asthma treated. Seriously consider making the ability to breathe well your first priority. it's working for my formerly apneatic brother too.
Being over it?
walking and not being able to breathe.
Climbing up a flight of stairs and being tired.
I'm 25years old for Pete's sake. ...
Now that may be motivation to start... but to continue ... who knows
I'll be unemployed for a while and become soft and doughy. Then, I get a job and I'll start losing weight just by virtue of having a very physical job. The success of the first few pounds is a good motivator on it's own, then I'll start being mindful of what I eat just because it's annoying to have a physical job and not be in very good shape.
When I've made deliberate efforts outside of daily habits, I've had some success, but it's been more limited. It works so much better for me to just have physical activity and decent food be part of my life.
Here's the only weight loss advice that I really have. I don't know what sort of diet you have right now, but if you decide that you'd like for your diet to be healthier - do NOT go for packaged food that is "LOW FAT!" "LITE" or "NO CHOLESTEROL!".
Just eat real food. Not packaged, processed products - actual food. Try to get a variety of colors in each meal - green should be in every meal, "meat" is not a meal in and of itself.
