Well mate Ill give you a few tips I learn't from here, but the first and foremost thing to understand is that it takes time and you will need patience, thats the best bit of advice I was given here. Try to do the following to give yourself a boost.

1.Take pictures of yourself in your pants for future reference, front, side and back.
2.Make sure your gym bag and food are ready the night before no matter how tired you are.
3.Keep a small book, if you have a marsbar at 320 calories write it in your book and burn off 320 EXTRA calories on a cardio machine at the gym. It called "your gym account".
4.In your book write down your workouts, weights, body weight number of sets etc.
5.When you do your main cardio do it after weights or preferably on alternative nights.
6.When doing fat burning cardio, keep your heart-rate at about 125-130bpm, you'll be able to burn off hundreds more calories than if you go at 150bpm for a few minutes. (just for a few weeks then you can HIIT).
7.Spend time learning to count calories, its the key to losing fat.

There's a lot to learn at this stage, spend time reading these forums. Hope that helps a little.
