It will take having more information to lose weight properly. Otherwise, you can only hurt yourself. I, too, got into fat-burning without prior intelligence. I didn't see good results and got stressed out. I started going to the gym without seeing good results. I bought myself a smart Vont bathroom scale with a BMI function. I even took a yoga class to improve my stress tolerance. Now I have good muscle mass, and when I look in the mirror, I am happy with the results. Even my sleep is more restful.
