The key is to stay motivated, I believe! Tracking in a food diary really helps. Keepinh a weighing machine in house also helps.

what motivates me the most is .. ive put a cut out of a lady, with a perfect body, in my room ... every time i see it, i feel very much motivated to do things to become like tht.. so when i get a urge of eating sweet .. i just see it ... and tht helps me in keeping my will strong !! funny but effective !!

keep talking to ur parter regarding health aspects and try to read more article regarding health benefits and fitness. Have a set of friends who really care about fitness and always have discussion about exercise and healthy foods. All these will make u aware of what u eat whenever u take a plate in hand and will motivate u when u exercise.

maintaining a diet diary is in deed a very good idea.it helps u keep a check on your intake n wherever you have diverted throughout the day.This helps you to be conscious of what and when you are eating..one shud try dis out it works..

First of all one should be very positive for his/her weight loss and then set up a goal on calender that by this date till a week or two i have to reduce 1 or 2 kg..and then go ahead..This will keep you motivated..And maintaining a diet diary is also a very good option..

I am eating within the calorie budget for the last 15 days and have doubled my exercise but have lost only 0.5 kgs when I should have lost 2 kgs
Has anyone got similiar disappointing experiences?

i think the key weight loss is in your hands....if you follow right steps and take proper diet than no harm can affect your life and you can lead a happy life....so try it

@Supergo

Calorie budget is one of the criterion while doing a weight loss. We should also see what are the sources of these calories. I might have a calorie budget of 1500 and I can eat a 1500 calories ice-cream in a dat..right? Would it be a right way?
