I struggled for years to lose weight and tried every fad diet and would lose a bit, lose my focus and gain it all plus more back. It was a vicious cycle and for the past 14 months, I've been trying to reinvent myself. I read about the Eat-Clean Diet by Tosca Reno and tried it out. I now it mostly 'clean' foods, meaning nothing processed, refined, or bad for you. Basically I don't buy a package if there's an ingredient on the box I can't pronounce. I've lost 64lbs since I started and have never felt better. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything bad because when I eat something bad my body's not used to know, I actually get sick! I'm sharing my story because I know how frustrating it can be!  You have to find a program that works for you like I did and make it work. It's hard but so worth it!
I wore a bikini on the beach this summer, I hadn't done that since high school!! :)
Good luck everyone!

The exercise bikes are great for low impact cardio. That, or you could use a pool to swim in, burns a lot of calories if you work hard.

If you donot have the eqipment, or if you cannot control yourself properly in eating, then also you can have one way to get rid of tour tummy fat. Sit-ups or crunches are very good in such cases. It helps you get rid of tummy fat quickly, and burns much more fat in average than other exercises.

Exercise smart not hard.
Interval training + muscle = 300% metabolism boost and 24/7 fat burning effect

I have diabetes and nerve damage and spine damage and neurotphy,im in constant pain how can you help me without surgery.. PLEASE!!!!

I know first hand how easy it is to make excuses, I did it for years, Blamed the fact that I have 6 children, a husband, a house to keep and a job and so all of that was making me tired and keeping me Fat.
One morning I woke up and looked at a photo of myself and it hit me..... thats not who I wanted to be.
So I started.... I'd get up 30mins earlier in the mornings, get things done before the kids woke up and that would free up time during the day. I joined a local gym, watched everything I ate and started my journey.
When you start exercising you feel great and actually have more energy, so tired is no longer an excuse, I was getting more done in my day because my energy levels were up.
2 years down the track I have lost 62kg (not sure what that is in pounds) and have maintained this weight loss for the past 12mths, I am now a qualified fitness instructor and get up every morning happy to be going to work and helping other people acheive what I have, it is great when they keep coming back even when they are de motivated and tell me it's because of me they are here, because they know i will motivate them, so to everyone that thinks it cant be done.... yes it can and you are all strong people that just need to take it one step at a time

I would like to thankyou for taking the time to respond it is much appreciated.

I am still not motivated to put the DVD on I know that I should I am the only one that can do it but I feel that I am waiting for the pin to drop!! It's just getting there that is the problem!!

I also have a cross trainer and it has worked for me. First thing is I love to watch TV and since one of my big excuses for not exercising was it was boring I had to find a way to dissolve that excuse out of the picture. So I put my cross trainer in the living room in front of my TV. I put on a Friends DVD or another favorite or watch a show I like and off I go. I also made it a habit and planned it into my busy day. So first thing in the morning before I do anything else (except sometimes I will have a coffee first), I do one hour on the cross trainer. The old saying "if you do anything more than 13 times it is a habit" absolutely worked! I also do this every single day, I do not take off for weekends or when travelling, but on average 2-3 days in 30 days I might skip one day (usually if I am ill or very tired).
I hope that this time I will be able to loose slowly and sensibly. In the past it always had to be fast and it was NEVER sustainable and I do wish I had back all that money I spent on every diet product out there! But with the help of Dr. Phil's advice, I am truly making it a lifestyle change. Exercise everyday and eat healthy and I do find Dr. Phil's templates simple to use to guide me through. I started this process 23 February and to-date I have lost 26.4  pounds, now I still have 55 more to go, but I have given myself until Christmas Day to get there. Sensible and realistic goals in a sensible and realistic timeframe!
But you can do it, if you did it before you can do it again, and taking is slow is OK

I would like to know how I can change my mind set to get started in being healthier. I have the treadmill & cross trainer and all the workout DVD's I could need. But I still can not get passed being motivated! Last year I was 202 pounds and went down to 163 but now I am almost back to where I started.
