    Portion control.. weighing or measuring out your food really helps you understand how much is plenty of food and how extremely easy it is to overeat. I think it's silly to count out 13 almonds but simple measuring and weighing goes a long way to understanding.

    Still enjoy your food, it doesn't need to be reduced to a dirty word or a chore.

    Big Picture.

    be willing to do the work because it is hard, hard learning to balance it when you maintain. It is easy to go back to your old ways so you have to be willing and not be lazy. I admire my thin friends who don't have to worry about this but that is not me so I have to do the work. I have to work at seeing why I am emotionally eating, work at counting calories, work at finding filling foods.,exercises, etc etc.

    Don't eat carbs and sugar everyday.


    Moderation, not removal.

    Find a workout partner or weightless partner!
    Someone you can talk to every day, share food and lunch ideas, get motivated with on those days you don't want to workout. Thankfully my sis and i are on this journey together and for the most part when she gets lazy i convince her to come hiking with me, etc.

    Log every grape you eat. Most of us eat more than we think. Weigh or count everything. It's a pain in the butt, but it works for me.

    plan your entire day's meal plan either the night before or first thing in the morning and log it! or write it down. journal it SOMEhow. knowing what your foods throughout the day are in advance gets rid of the improvising where so many of us slip up.

    Don't expect major results in a freakin' week.

    Be consistent.

    Don't be glued to the scale.

    Oops, that's three.

    Record keeping.

    It is easy to get discouraged if you don't lose. Keep records!

    What exercise you do each day - log it. What you weigh each weigh -in. How much you lose from week to week. When your ToM impacts things. Your measurements. Anything to see progress beyond pounds on a scale.

    Often it feels like nothing is happening when something is. It just isn't fast enough to be noticeable without lots of data.

    1 tip = EXERCISE

    2= Eat healthy...no soda, junk food or desserts. OK maybe once in a great while but it should be a treat not daily occurrence.

    Success is never giving up when the going gets tough! Making changes is a lifestyle change and not a diet

    Stay at or slightly below your daily calorie amount and log everything you put in your mouth. Make sure you weigh and measure your food accurately. Do this and you will lose weight.

    You can eat anything you like, as long as it fits your calorie goal. Anything. You. Like.
