Answer 3

When I first started losing weight I was eating and drinking very badly, so I started by making small steps. I started exercising (treadmill walking) for 30 minutes a day three times a week. I didn't change my eating habits a whole lot, instead I just make little healthy tweaks here and there.

I started eating sandwiches at home instead of grabbing fast food, or if i did grab fast food i'd get just a grilled chicken sandwich without mayo (unless it was at chickfila i'd ask them for a pack of lite mayo.). I cut out sodas except the occasional diet soda which I have only in mixed drinks on nights out with my friends. I still allowed myself the junk food I liked, I just stopped buy big bags of chips or whatever and bought the 100 calorie packs instead.

if you have a signifigant amount of weight to lose (I lost 45lbs nearly so far) just little stuff like that makes a big difference in the beginning, its when you get down to the end (last few pounds, amount varies from person to person, in my case it's 20 ) that's really hard i've found =/ then you have to really really concentrate and change stuff.

Answer 4

I lost my appetite for some reason. Then I went back to work.
