New Member...needs major weight loss

Hello I am new here and working towards 1 of my 2 goals. I NEED to loose 50+ pounds first. Then I need to work on my definition. I have currently stepped up cardio, stepped down calories and am trying to get used to it. Any advice would be appreciated. I am sure you get posts like these a lot but I am just looking for some help. I am borderline overweight and am very unhappy with what my body has become. I was an active child but for some reason just got lazy as I got older. I know I can lose the weight I just can't seem to stay motivated. Any tips for how you keep your mind set on the goal would be great. I also am a very picky eater. I hate veggies of all kind. Even as a young girl I could not eat them. They are just not good to me. This has become a problem. I know I need them in my diet but just can't stand the taste of them. So any help with alternatives for them would help as well. Sorry this is alot to pack into one post but I am not entirely sure where I am supposed to post this yet. Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Thats your first problem, taste should have nothing to do with what you put into your body.

Let us know what you eat now.......we can give suggestions.  also see about adding veggies to stews, roasted veggies n meats combo, soups, and try to see if you can get to like spinach, green beans, asparagus or broc first, they are the best choices.
otherwise you seem to be doing the right things to get those goals, just keep he progression going but slow.

I too am a new member and am having a hard time losing
i have been working out for a very long time and i have seen major changes but both bad and good
My focus right now is to lose fat and then strength endurance and not bulk but for competition but
I need to let you know that i am on prednisone
but here is my routine
 
monday - 10 min warmup, chest and arms (20 min cardio either stairmaster or elliptical or treadmill)
tues - boxing
wed - (10 min warm up) legs 15 min cardio 
thurs - boxing in the morning and 10 min warm up, shoulders in the afternoon
friday - 10 min warm up, back 20 min cardio  
sat - legs, 20 min cardio
sunday - just cardio or rest day
 
sometimes that will be switched i will make a day during the week a rest day along with sunday and double up on the strenght days - but am not at the gym more than 1.5 hrs at a time including warm up and cardio
as for eating
 
Lean body pre made drink before working out or the whey protein drink
Breakfast  - 4 egg whites 1 whole egg and oatmeal
lunch - ckn with rice and some yams
snack - turkey burger with a salad
dinner - ckn meat or fish with salad and rice or some other kind of green veggies
 
i will try to follow this religiously - soemtimes i will throw in whey protein with 1 tbs almond butter and frozen strawberries - sometimes i will eat something i am not supposed to but for the most part this is what i have
 
my main goal right now again is to lose and i dont know waht kind of supplements i should be taking ---
L glutamine someone said was good - but am not taking it
the supplemements i am taking now are zinc, calcium, vit b, and nothing else really
 
HELP!  
am i doing something wrong?

It looks like Dan is helping you, in the other thread.

I few things that might help us help you. how long have you been working out with weights? What do your routines look like.

I doubt I can really be of much help, especially with the prednizone, but with that info, it might enabale someone else to help you better.

are you on pred for good?
