Motivation is not my down fall. But I do need a plan. Calorie controlled diets haven't worked for me, neither has intense exercise. Last year I did 12 solid weeks of running 5 days per week, yoga and body toning and was on a restricted calorie diet. I lost 1 kg. I was really disappointed. So I remember that I lost 12kg before my wedding some years ago on a protein based diet. Recently I found bodytrim and wow I've lost 3.5kgs in 4 weeks and my husband has lost 6kgs. Their method is to eat protein based meals, you must eat every 3 hours, you need to build up to walking 10,000 steps per day (about 30 min walk), you have one free day per week. The first 3 days are a sugar and carb detox. I found these days hard and to be honest the first 2 weeks were harder, but now I have not cravings, heaps of energy and I am happy with my progress.

I hope you find what you are looking for. I found not focusing on what I missing out on really helped. A can do attitude goes along way!!!
