    Hi Raqual,
    losing weight is a complex issue that involves addressing caloric intake, maintaining caloric output (exercise), reducing stress (which reduces weight gaining hormone production), proper rest, and positive self image.
    
    regarding nutrition, I recommend exploring an alkaline forming diet - calorie restriction and dieting does not work - switching to an alkaline forming diet can drastically curb cravings and enhance the body's metabolism ... our Back to Health with Plant-Based nutrition is a great intro to this: http://www.myyogaonline.com/programs
    
    patience is key as well - the body adapts to certain metabolic 'set points' ... if you have been at a certain weight for an extended period of time, the body can tend to resist moving away from that set point
    
    feel welcome to review this summary of videos and articles we have surrounding the topic of weight loss:

    most important, ignore programs that suggest one can lose large amounts of weight in little time - from a holistic health perspective, rapid weight loss is extremely unhealthy and most often results in regaining that weight
    
    let us know if you have any specific questions on nutrition or yoga etc
