if you tried for so long and nothin worked maybe you should go to a dietician and enroll in a gym to see changes.
iyou also need will power
if you don't have the time or don't want help from pros you should try being more active and change your lifestyle for good
you can eat chocolate but not too much it isn't a meal it's a treat which you can substitute it with a protien bar or even better a fruit , carrots, celery , cucumber , or a handful of walnuts or almonds
you can start by eating more fresh fruits and vegetables several times a day as part of your meals and snacks
switch from food that is rich in fat , sugar, salt and white flour to healthier options that will give you more energy
try eating foods rich in protein , high in fiber , low in fat
try excercising walk, jog and/or ride the bike every day for at least 30 min ( try it for 10 min then take a break if you are tired then continue) , take the stairs instead of the elevator , play with your kids or friends some games a few times a week, walk the dog , go swimming / hiking / skiing, do some volunteer work ( skip the snacks). Al these activities if done frequently can help you lose weight and get more energy.
you should also start doing pushups , situps and squats 3 times a week to become stronger.
you can get ideas from these sites which help motivate all the time , you can read them when you're free

Have you tried a cleanse? I've been trying exercise only for about 4 months and I only dropped 7 lbs. But with cleaning and exercising I lost 22 lbs in a month. I tried Isagenix 9 day cleanse. I'm going to do it again next month. My doctor recommended it to me for my weight loss. With a good cleanse you can lose up to 10 lbs in 9 days. And it's not just water weight. Just cleanse, eat healthy and exercise at least 1 hour 3 times a week. Even if it's just walking around the mall or the track. I'm now on month 2 and I've lost a total of 35lbs. Good luck.

The more often you exercise, the more energy you will have. Eat healthy, cut out all chocolate and junk food until you've lost the weight, and force yourself to exercise. You'll find that it gets easier and easier if you keep up the weight loss plan, and before you know it the weight will be gone.

Exercising is the way to burn off those calories. Start off doing small amounts then you'll notice your body is getting in shape so you'll need to work out a little harder to keep your heart rate up.

I walk on a treadmill at the gym that calculates what your target heartrate is while working out by figuring in your age and weight. It helps to have some music to get you pumped up, I like using an Ipod that you can clip to your waist or sleeve and exercise to music.

Its nice to stay motivated to exercise by asking yourself if you want to be unhealthy and overweight or would you rather be healthy and fit.
