11 Real Weight Loss Tips for Women Struggling to Lose Weight:
Be patient
Weight loss takes time. For many women it can be several months before the results start to show. The problem is that so many women give up before they hit the “results period” and as such never get to see the benefits of all their hard work. Be patient with your self and with your weight loss program and you will enjoy the results soon enough.
Something I have to keep telling myself. Otherwise I’m stuck in the mindset of: “I’ve been working so hard, I’m seeing no results, so it’s never going to work for me. I give up.”

Where Do You Lose Weight First?
There is very little you can do to influence specific subcutaneous fat distribution. Exercise should always be a part of any fat loss program - but vigorously exercising a specific body part will not have any influence on local fat in that area. Neither will high-repetition (e.g. 20-30 reps) weight training lead to greater fat loss. In fact the loss of intensity may ultimately result in less fat loss than lower-reps with heavier weights.
Breakfast @ 11am
Watermelon. Sweet bread.
Snack @ 2-4pm
Cup of red sugar tea (to relieve cramps). ~30 raw almonds.
Dinner @ 6pm
Half of a large Chinese pancake. Bowl of spare ribs and carrots soup. Bowl of taro, sweet longan and tangyuan soup.
Exercise @ 9.45pm
15 minutes stretching following this routine. Some moves are too hard to follow and I don’t enjoy doing it. Doesn’t stretch muscles as much as the traditional stuff.

11 Tactics to Get More from Your Gym Sessions:
Use heavy weights
Whoever it was that first said that light weights tone your muscles was a fool. Light weights don’t do much at all to be honest. If you want to tone up and lose weight then you need to use heavy weights. Don’t worry, you won’t get bulky. All you will do is burn calories faster and make a lot more progress.
Definitely had this misconception for a long time. It’s no wonder all the weight training wasn’t seeing obvious results.
