Ready to try to control your weight. Almost everyone who loses weight has tried many times to get rid of the extra weight they feel they need to loss. Finding the right path to weight loss is like finding soul mate. So don't look at past weight loss attempts as dead ends it never helps. They're just stages to your success.
The practical things to consider. Commit to the rules, follow and figure out some logistics. How will you follow your plan? Do you have a support system that includes a health care professional, your family, and your friends? Do I need to see a doctor before starting a weight loss program?
Now if you don't have a chronic illness or take regular medications, you don't really need medical supervision when you're starting a weight loss program. There are hundreds of diet books out there, and I doubt that following any of them would cause any harm, while a really extreme diet could be risky. However including your doctor as part of your support system and ideally as a health coach he can help you monitor your progress as well as provide external accountability.
One plan does not work for everyone. Each individual will have one best dietary approach. There is a big area of eating strategies -- dozens of approaches -- that all work well for weight loss and overall health improvement. The most important thing is to find one that will work for you, because commitment, rather than diet type, is the key to success. Good plans tend to have some common features. Often they include a daily food chart with calorie counting, adherence to your eating plan, and approximately seven hours a week of exercise, cardio and strength training would be very beneficial.
If you're really sticking to it, a good plan will produce 8 to 10% weight loss in three to four months and up to 15 to 20% weight loss in one year. Less effort will typically produce 5% weight loss in three to four months and 10% weight loss at a year. People often say that losing 1 to 2 pounds a week is the best way. But typically more than that in the short term and less than that in the long term. It doesn't really matter if someone's losing 3 to 4 pounds a week at the beginning of the life style change.
It is crucial to maintain your motivation for long-term success. You might be rewarded and start fitting into smaller-sized clothes maybe even the one's from when you were in high school, and get compliments on how you look. But the rate of weight loss inevitably slows, so then the motivation must come from within.You must remind yourself of the reasons you are taking care of your body and putting in the effort. Keep a written list of reasons and refer to them often. A photo of yourself at your start weight can be a helpful reminder of how far you've come.
Sticking to your plan will be better if you have others who will help. A personal trainer, or your health care provider, or a support group of some kind. The more authority you give them and the accountability you feel to them, the more likely you are to maintain your weight loss. You may want to find someone who isn't so polite -- often, the drill sergeant approach is the most effective.
At times we all eat for comfort at times, some people have a severe problem with emotional eating. Resolving the underlying causes or stress is the first thing you need to do. Over eaters Anonymous and similar groups can also be very helpful. Many find simple logical solutions, getting junk food or other trigger foods out of the house -- can work really well. Everybody -- your friends, your family and your doctor -- want you to succeed. But your losing weight can trigger unhelpful responses in some people.
Eating is fun at that time. But the unhealthy type is not good and we don't like to chow down alone. We do it with friends or family. So if you've changed your eating habits, it may be hard for the people around you to accept that you're not taking part. They also may also get annoyed at all the time you spend at the gym or feel jealous of your success.So expect some weight loss sabotage. You may need to distance yourself from people who are counterproductive to your efforts. Before that, be firm. They might be testing you, to see how serious you are about the life change. So stay firm, you may find that a lot of people back off and stop undermining you.
In the end, people may have mixed feelings about what you're doing. It's a challenge to figure out how to squeeze enough exercise into your life. Nevertheless, you manage to practice what you preach, and in response to each individual unique challenge you will find what works for you the best, whether it is cutting sugars, carbs, or the amount of food you intake.

I agree with you that your motivation plays a key role in weight lose. Your motivation makes you do the correct things, and if you want to do the proper things for a long time, you need to sustain your motivation for long period.
