You should always keep in mind that you could work out every day, and have all the motivation you need but if you are constantly providing your body with poor nutrition you will continue to GAIN weight and never make any progress with your fat loss efforts. You need to be serious about you diet it is an important first step. It's very common for people who wish to lose weight to often choose an unrealistic or very restrictive diet that are almost impossible to stick to after the first week or two.
Sure, they want to lose as much weight as possible in the shortest possible time and most likely they actually will if they follow the strict diet they have subjected themselves to. Ture is...it won't last. You can starve the body of the food it's used to, this just will not not work as we are all human.
Most of the weight lost will return shortly after the diet is abandoned and you are back to square one. I have hear the term "think of a diet as a Band-Aid for your symptoms" which is being overweight. While you may lose some weight when you throw yourself into a restrictive diet plan, it is not something you can stick to long term. You will most likely gain all the weight back, and you may even end up heavier after the 'diet' than before you began it.
The reason is that your body takes steps to protect itself from the perceived food shortages it believes are imminent (based on you constantly denying it the food it thinks should be appearing in your belly in the absence of a food shortage). Your body has no idea that you only want to fit into your skinny jeans for an upcoming house party.
The trick is to be realistic and start by cutting back on what you know you can easily then start with some of the harder things. You may also want to consider weight loss supplements.
