I would say our motivation for losing weight comes from wanting to get or stay healthy, to feel and to look good. Think about these areas - are you fit and healthy? Do you feel good? Do others find you attractive? How much would your quality of life overall improve if you lost 20 lbs? Imagine all the positive effects - your joints will hurt less, you won't catch your breath at climing a flight of stairs anymore, you will draw a glance or two... 10 years from now your blood pressure will still be fine and you won't develop type II diabetes... and so on!

Running is the best all over fat burner. If you do not like running, have breathing problems or cannot run, you can walk at an incline. For example if you walk on a treadmill at 4 mph at 10 incline for 45 minutes, you have burned 500 calories. Eat mostly fruits, vegetables, and protiens. Try to cut back on sugar or not eat anything full of sugar such as candy, cookies, etc but natural sugars (found in fruit) are fine. Here is a meal plan that will help you lose weight fast and not be too hard to follow:

BREAKFAST
1/2 grapefruit
2 egg whites
slice of whole wheat toast

LUNCH
pear
banana
Fiber One bar
serving size bag of Sunchips(your choice of flavor)
celery with peanut butter

DINNER
breaded and baked fish (any kind you like) or chicken
peas or any kind of vegetable
brown rice

SNACKS
cottage cheese
fruit
vegetables
protien shake (one scoop protien powder, nonfat milk, frozen fruit)


Also make sure you drink enough water. Drink one glass on nonfat skim milk a day or have it in a shake and then drink NOTHING but water. Take your weight and divide it by 2. The convert pounds to ounces. For example, if you weighed 150 lbs then divide by 2 = 75 lbs then convert to ounces - 75 ounces of water a day. Make sure to drink that much water every day.

Good luck :)

It's up to you to make yourself motivated. You should try maybe running on a tredmill and other exercises. You should make a LIFESTYLE change. You could try, yoga, lifting weights, jumping jacks, cruches, or jumping rope
