    Morning sickness did wonders for me - lost 17 lbs in 7 weeks with this one, 29lbs in 12 weeks with my first. Only thing that worked better than that was giving birth - lost 30+ lbs in 6 weeks.

    Aside from that, weight loss comes down to 4 words - "eat less, move more."

    Get a toddler.

    Keep it with you at all times.

    When you want to eat, you will obviously have to share it with the toddler (unless you want it to explode with rage, or you want to lock yourself in the bathroom to eat a snack, and that would be a bit sad, wouldn't it?)

    So, choose your snack. If you feel uncomfortable giving half of it to the toddler - because it's high in salt, sugar, because it's really crappy food - make another choice, something you'd be happy to share. Now you've eaten something good.

    If you're happy to give some to the toddler, give it half. Now you've eaten less.

    Or give the toddler that high sugar item anyways and burn 500-1000 calories chasing them all over until they crash.

    Make sure the changes you are making are changes that are sustainable forever and don't demonize food.

    Patience. You might not see the results right away, but others will at first. Just believe in what your doing and stick to it .

    No white flour, white sugar or High fructose corn syrup. Lay off processed foods and exercise 30 min to an hour a day.
    Don't worry about your weight as much as your waist size.

    Consistent, honest, and dedicated logging in MFP. Keeps me accountable for my actions (and meals).

    Stop fixating about the number on your scales, in fact only weigh yourself every week. Too many people get discouraged and quit because they weigh themselves every day


    This. Also be sure to take photos and measurements. That's where you will truly be able to see progress and keep motivated.
