So, everyone I talk to gives me different advice and different perspectives on how/what I should be eating, how/what I should be doing for exercise, and it's all a bit confusing. I understand now why alot of people think it is just too much work to try to lose weight. Tracking food, trying to keep track of calories and fat, reading labels and serving sizes...whew! It's like a full time job doing all that LOL. Well, I'm doing my best to try to figure out what works for me. The food/eating part is the hardest. I'm working with a trainer on the exercise. Yes it's expensive, but I know me and I won't have the same commitment if I try to do it on my own. I'm only able to do the trainer thing for 3 months and I'm half way done. Problem is...I'm NOT losing weight or inches :( People say they can see it in my face, etc., that I'm losing, but the scale says differently and my clothes are not feeling any different. It's very frustrating and I feel I could easily give up. But for now, I continue to try. We'll see where the next 6 weeks take me.

You need to be pro-active. What are your goals? What do you want to accomplish health wise. Exercise will help burn calories, tones and lose fat. But diet is what helps with weight loss/fat loss. If you not losing weight, than your might be taking in more calories than your burning off. Get some fitness magazines, books out of library, articles online and read about nutrition and fitness. You may have to try many things to find out what will work for you and fit in to your life. Certain foods do help us with weight loss. Protein helps lose fat and build muscle. High fiber foods are also help with fat loss and keeping us fuller. Water helps us stay hydrated and flush out sodium. Tracking is also important and watching out for all those bites, licks and tastes. Getting the food part down will help you lose.
