I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone that wants to lose weight....and it can really be no harder than this....
1. Learn how to eat, know what to consume, and eat 6-7 times a day....don't make excuses...
2. Take fiber, 2x a day, and I personally believe in colon cleansing.
3. Do cardio...but don't just go through the motions...everything you have, every time and keep a log and constantly improve.
4. Lift free weights....and again...don't just go through the motions...everything you have, every time and keep a log and constantly improve.

Good advice. It's funny how some people think if you weigh within a certain window, like someone who is 5'10" and weighs 150 Lbs, is lean when in fact they can easily have a bf of 30%. It's all about what you eat!
I worked with a guy 5'10" 150/60 and his bf was super high. If you grabbed his arm it felt like a sponge. Like you were pressing a marshmallow. He had very very little muscle.
Checked hubby's log book, he's doing pretty good, bf has dropped another percent, and yet his weight has stayed the same. His muscle weight went up also, about two pounds. Bravo! Proud of him, I know he's really trying.
But I told him "Do Not Get Below 18%". That's too lean, I don't want to feel like Im hugging an Erection! LOL
