    Your weight will shift when you start logging consistently. Cardio is great and all, but you can't outrun a bad diet. All you need for weight loss is a caloric deficit.

    Try some new things. Find places you can add. Some people find it helpful to add veggies like lots of frozen, fresh, or canned veggies: broccoli, swiss chard, kale, spinach, romaine, cabbage, mushrooms, asparagus, avocados, okra, cauliflower, bell peppers, snow peas, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, winter squash, brussels sprouts, cucumbers, green beans.
    You might want to reduce bread, pasta, pizza, rice, corn, potatoes, cereal, popcorn.

    You don't need tips - you already know your problem: " struggling with diet ", he said.

    Tighten up that ship, and you'll sail right on through the weight loss.

    Tip: Eat less.

    I spent most of last summer improving my overall fitness level and thinking I must be losing weight as well, since my clothes were fitting better, etc. But when I stepped on the scale, I discovered that I was as heavy as I had ever been. I started tracking calories, just to see how much I was really eating and have been losing weight ever since.

    Your weight loss will not come from cardio. As you know, you can't exercise a bad diet. Weigh and measure your food, log accurately and eat at a deficit. This will bring the loss you're looking for.
