If you could give just one tip on how to lose weight...

What would it be? No lists, keeping it nice and simple. Just one tip, new to this (just logged my 30th day in a row and looking for more inspiration) interested to see what people put as their top tip.

Think of it as a learning process, there will be ups and downs but you will keep moving forward if you learn from any missteps and correct them.
