The very first stumbling block is unrealistic expectations. You have to make sure you know what is possible. Keep your body in mind. If you are big boned you are never going to be really "small" but you can be the best you can possibly be.
Another unrealistic expectation is that you can lose 50 pounds in a matter of days. That is simply not possible and losing too much weigh in too short a time is not good for your health at all. It is also the starting point for the well know "yo-yo" diet syndrome.
The next stumbling block, closely related to the unrealistic expectations is skipping meals. When you are trying to get rid of some fat, skipping meals are not a good idea. You may think that you will eat less if you skip a meal, but as a matter of fact you will probably eat more!
When you skip meals you allow yourself to get very hungry and that makes it far more possible that you will "cheat." If you do manage not to eat anything until the next meal, you will be so hungry that you will probably overindulge at your next meal.
It is also very important to realize that you need to eat all your meals to ensure your body gets all the nutrition it needs. This will in all probability lead to malnutrition and that will not be good for your efforts of shedding some pounds.
