Loosing weight is a long process. You have to commit to a new way of feeding yourself. It's not a temporary fix. I went for up to 2 weeks without loosing a single pound. It's like the body looses some weight and then stops for a few days, then you start loosing again. I call them "plateaus", the body seems to react to the weight loss and suddenly stops, like it's assessing what's going on before it lets more pounds shed

I came to accept the fact that there are days, even weeks that the weight just stays stationary. At first I found it discouraging, but now I see it as weight loss is very nice, but when it stops for a while it doesn't mean the battle is over, the fact of the matter is, the weight is not going up which is also a very good thing.
Weigh yourself at the same time each day, try to keep track of what you're eating during the day, if you have a craving for something one day, don't fight it. Indulge in a small quantity, most of the times your mind just wants the taste of it, not the quantity. Drink lots of water, smaller meals but don't starve yourself, have small healthy snacks between meals. Eating often in small quantities keeps your metabolism going which helps shed the weight. Eat lots of fiber rich foods, vegetables and fruits. Leanest meats you can find like turkey, fish is great. If you can't live without red meat then eat it by all means. Just get the leanest cuts you can find and whatever meat serving you were having before, cut it in half. You can fill up on vegetables and fruits. Eat slow if time permits. No snacks before bedtime, stop eating 1.5 to 2 hours before going to bed.
I'm going on and on here

It will be hard at times but if you stick to it long enough, it just becomes second nature and you come to a point where you don't even think about it. You'll start going for the apple instead of the chocolate bar without even knowing. That is when you will know that the battle is over. You can do it at any age, I started at 42. I am now in my mid 44 and I feel absolutely fantastic. With a little training, I could do Bow Flex commercials

Well maybe not. I'm at the point now that I actually crave that apple, a bowl of fresh fruit is an ultimate treat for me now.
OK I gotta stop
