Need to buy some scales cause I want to know the effort I'm putting in is actually doing something.

Try to be more active in your lifestyle, and change your eating habits. There is no need to go on some drastic diet. You dont want to shock your body into starvation mode. A lot of people go on their detox plans thinking they are cleansing the body fat off them, and then they fall back into their old eating habits and gain more weight than they had before. Get it in your mind that this is a LIFESTYLE change, not some diet fad.
As a suggestion:
- Be selective in your food choices.
-
Reduce alcohol intake
- Dont think of take away food as an only option
- Increase water intake
- How about taking the stairs instead of the elevator
- Eat when you feel hungry, and not just for the sake of it
- Take up a sport you can do each week or just go for a 30min brisk walk/run every day if you can.
- Include less packaged foods in your weekly shopping and go for the fresh fruits and veggies.
- Get your partner to join you in motivating eat other to change
and ultimately, BE WILLING TO CHANGE. Your success will depend on how much YOU want to change.
