    Diet is a major role, and you should be very cautious about what you eat. Avoid high processed foods, takeaways/fast food, confectioneries and anything unnatural. Minimizing your intake of dairy is ideal. Only eat lean meat an oily fish, incorporate a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables into meals and eat only whole grains.

    Exercise at least 3-4 times a week with a routine of your choice. Yoga can be very soothing to sore muscles, so I suggest practising very lightly for 10 minutes in the morning.

    Stay hydrated, avoid refined high-carb food, but remember carbohydrates are essential for energy when exercising, and eat fresh, natural food - organic if possible, and remain positive.

    I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

    The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

    The diet is too much to handle because you're making yourself uncomfortable. If you make yourself uncomfortable with dramatic lifestyle changes, you wont stick with it. I think what will work best for you is one or two small changes at a time. That is how a lot of people do it. My mom used to be big as the side of the house and she started with small changes. First she gave up candy bars and after a week or so she gave up cheese burgers then after another week or so she started walking a little bit.... and just gradually keep adding those small changes. Shes fit now.

    I think you could benefit a lot with some nutrition or fitness coaching. Most people need that because they want to change and have all the drive to do it and stick with it, but just don't know what to do or how to start.

    Small changes make all the difference. I don't know what you do all day but one small change could be to just start taking stairs instead of an elevator... or if you have whole milk with your cearal, switch to skim or 2% just things like that. Or, if you eat breakfast as school, instead of having the biscuits and gravy, have fruit and oatmeal or whatever else is available that's a better choice. Or stop having ketchup with your French fries (its all sugar). It really does work.

    I've spent lots of money on diet clinics and stuff that use drugs or put you on a really strict diet and the results never lasted because it was just too dramatic and I went back to the same bad habits. The only things that ever let to lasting resuts was the small changes that I stuck with... like parking far away from buildings and walking through the parking lot rather than parking as close to the door as I could... I've even joined extreme fitness classes like crossifr and never stayed with them because it was just too much all at once.

    One thing you can do that you wont really notice is don't eat everything on your plate... leave like 20% of it. At the end of the month, all that food really adds up.

    Set performance-based goals. Always set yourself incrementally larger goals each week to be sure you’re engaged and have something to strive for. Each little achievement is also a reward that you’re going in the suitable direction. From doing 10 more squats to mastering a whole new yoga pose, whatever floats your own boat.

    Man up. Studies show that women binge on food more when compared with men and, when food choices are emotional, it’s a recipke for disaster. Instead, eat small amounts when you’re hungry, not when you’re bored or sad, and once a week day the girls for beer as well as pizza – you’ve earned that.
