One frustrating thing about trying to lose weight is the snail's pace at which the pounds seem to drop off.
The more weight you lose, the harder your body fights to hold on to the calories it gets and the fewer calories it burns.

You can by boosting your metabolism with these helpful tips.

Burn more calories in the same amount of time by swinging your arms when you walk, wearing a weighted vest, walking on grass, sand or gravel, using walking poles or walking along the shoreline of a beach or pond.
These will make your walk more intense thus burning more calories.
