Answer

Literally throw your scale away and focus on living a healthy lifestyle. 
Remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so as you’re making progress and losing fat, you may stay the same weight or even gain weight because you’re building muscle. 
It’s better to base your progress on how you look and feel.

Working out sucks at first, but once your body gets used to it it actually makes you feel good. It becomes enjoyable and addictive

Answer

80% of successful weight loss is down to diet rather than exercise. Cut out processed sugars, eat very lean meats and avoid too many carbohydrates. Bake food, don't fry. Also cut down on food, potentially halve your portion sizes (depending on current size) and only allow yourself to snack on healthy stuff like fruit and vegetables. Only keep healthy food in the house. Whenever you go to eat, drink a large glass of water about 15 minutes beforehand. This worked for me, I lost about 40lbs in 10 months or so just from eating better. I've gained 55lbs during pregnancy so I'll be using the same tactics this time too.

Answer

How long have you tried these things? It will take a good 12-16 weeks to notice any real change. Restricting calories (if you go too low) will have the opposite effect & your body will hold on to fat & burn muscle.

Answer

Cut out sugar & walk lots consistently. My fitbit helps with the latter because I can get 10k+ steps a day.
