    You say don't say "eat less". So how about: Consume a reduced amount of calories. That's what it boils down to!

    Okay, my second biggest:

    Accept: Simple isn't easy.

    We all know: calorie deficit (that's not debatable!)

    What is harder: How to achieve a calorie deficit when you've spent most of your life in calorie surplus!

    Though it will sound very silly ... Green tea! .. It worked wonders for me, it suppresses hunger ("hunger...after all the calories are gone) also a natural fat burner and it tastes very sweet so you can trick yourself into thinking it is sugary! Also, 0.1 calories per cup!

    My biggest tip... to remove the word CAN'T from your vocabulary. I also have to constantly tell myself "no excuses". IF you're a writer, create a blog and keep up with everything you do, list your goals, write about your feelings, etc. I do it and it's a great help! fat2fitmama.blogger.com

    Cut the carbs for breakfast. Its amazing what loading up on mostly protein in the morning will do as opposed to carbs. You will feel better, be less hungry and the rest of the day is much more manageable.

    Make it not about losing weight but changing your lifestyle and philosophies. Choose exercises that you LOVE and are so excited to do, and make an effort each and every day.

    Don't quit.

    I can't tell you how many times I've screwed up along the way. Every major mistake you make, just use it as an opportunity to learn about yourself and your habits, then pick yourself up and keep going!

    DON'T EAT THESE EVERYDAY - soda, cookies, candy, cakes, pre made bars(terrible for you) sugar turns into fat
    DO EAT THESE EVERYDAY - water, natural juice, fruit, veggies, chicken, lean steak, low fat foods

    Log before you eat, even if it's only the moment before -- it will make you think twice

    Make small changes that you can live with permanently. They're usually enough to make all the difference.

    Also... be patient with yourself while losing!

    @UpEarly stole the words right out of my mouth!

    I was going to say both of those things...

    Cut carbs.
    Try 16/8 fasting for yourself before dismissing it.
    Be open-minded.
    Find an exercise you love.
    Love yourself!

    Measure food
    Plan out the meals the day before so you know what your daily goal is and can plan if something changes
    Mild calorie deficit
    Resistance training
    and move your *kitten*.

    and lastly it's 75% in your head.

    small changes! don't ever think you can completely change in one day, that just sets you up for failure.
