If you cannot lose weight you may want to consider a few things that seem to work for almost anyone. It's also imperative to visit your doctor to get some professional feedback. You may have some health issues you're not aware of.

This is certainly not groundbreaking news but to lose weight you must take in fewer calories than you're burning off. There are some great websites available with information regarding foods and calories.

Really become tuned in to how many calories certain foods have and how much exercising you'll need to do to combat them. It's amazing to find out that certain foods we always thought were so healthy for us are actually high in calories.

You may not have to totally eliminate some of these foods from your diet but just cut back. Instead of eating 3 pieces of pizza eat one and also have a salad.

In addition to watching what you eat you absolutely cannot lose weight if you're not getting in some quality exercising. At least 40 minutes of cardiovascular activity per week. A brisk walk with arm movement would be fine.

If you can make it fun you will be more likely to stick with it. I exercise on a ski machine while watching and listening to some of my favorite music DVDs. When someone asks me what I want for a gift that's what I ask for.

You can also go dancing or biking or skiing, etc. The more minutes you put in the more calories you'll burn off.

You will also increase your odds of losing weight if you incorporate some type of weight training each week. Resistance training builds muscle which in turn burns fat and calories. 3 times per week for 20 minutes is a good start.

You can start with low weight and high repetitions and gradually add the weight. Push ups are also a good form of resistant training that can be done anywhere.

If you cannot lose weight you may also try taking meal replacement supplements. This is another good topic to discuss with your doctor or a nutritionist. There are some great drink mixes available but also some scams so beware.

Finally if all else fails and you still cannot lose weight consider seeing a personal trainer. You can also join a health club and take advantage of any instruction they give.

The positives with these are huge. You'll get the encouragement you need and also someone to keep you motivated. You'll also be with someone who has some expertise and can zero in quickly to your needs.
