how to boost weight loss without chemicals and pills?

I eat fairly healthy, and I've started a gym membership a few weeks ago. I've always been on the bigger side, and my family seems to be a bit bigger than normal people and we all struggle with weight...

I want to make this clear- I don't want a crash diet or some pills, just maybe a few tips, like, really effective workouts, maybe some foods that help aid weight loss?

I've gone to gyms before, and i always struggle with the first 15 pounds... once those are off though, I drop the weight like no tomorrow. I've lost about 2 or 4 pounds since December 28th.... Any tips? I've heard you can use apple cider vinegar to help boost metabolism- has anyone tried this?

Info that might help you:

i'm 5 ft, 2 inches

My ideal weight is about 130-140 pounds

I eat about 1200 calories a day, not because of restriction... that's just all I can really handle. any more and I feel bloated and lazy... :P

I don't eat junk food- i think it's gross. I eat white bread though... I consider that junk food i guess...

and no, I don't eat a ton of carbs; i eat fruits, veggies and lean proteins like tuna and chicken.

    Make friends cardio. People tend to look toawrds gyms as an area to do lifting. If that wasn't the case why would you be there... Just to do cardio? Thats a waste of money, you can do that without a membership. But its also very important to do cardio. In fact, cardio is simply the most important. I love gyms for their beautiful weight materials because I in fact lift 4-6 days a week. I don't go for a treadmill, or a elliptical. But, combine those both. Strength training, and cardio. Cardio after weight training. Burns fat more effectively. I aim to do 45 minutes of cardio a day, and since I said I lift 4-6 days a week.. That means 4-6 days of cardio. But always remember to eat good. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF ALL!!! Proteins, Carbs, Fats, Antioxidants, and much more. Hit those micro-nutrients. And drink nothing but water. Do some research, its easy, simple, all you got to do is type in your answer on google. (; GOOD LUCK!!!
