ieatstickers

Everyone has them. Whether it's really a secret or not, we all have our tricks and tips that helps us lose weight, or keep it off, in the long run.

Mine is exercising at least one hour a day doing cardio and pilates. I eat what I want, but try to make the better choices, and always in moderation.

So, come on. Share your secrets. What's yours?

Water, keeping busy with projects so I don't eat out of boredom, and I always keep Granny Smith apples on hand. They are a great snack, and because they are sour they kinda make my stomach pucker up or something so I don't feel like eating for a while afterward, lol. I am sure that sounds weird.

i have kids and a job where I'm constantly running back and forth. so even i don't get a exercise in i know i'm burning some calories.

missmiller1

Tracking what I eat. It makes me accountable for what I put in my body and if I don't want to journal it, I probably won't eat it!

mccorml

eat less and exercise more there is not secret to weight loss..

ElisaMarie82

I have been shedding pounds by simply doing 40 minutes - 1 hour of cardio, 5 times a week, and if I happen to go over my calorie intake that day then I hit the workout really hard! Don't ever let yourself feel like you've failed if you splurge once in a while, we all do it! Good luck on your journey!

Photoplex

Prunes. A lot of prunes. And interval cardio training, although December has been a bit of a fail for that.

SkierElle

Getting over my sugar addiction... along with limiting grains

Eat stop eat - intermittent fasting.

but they're not secrets; it feels natural!! the way it always should have been.

roylawrence87

I stay away from meats of all kind.

TaneeisFitforLife

Taking the time to chew my food & keeping an open mind

reneeot

View food as fuel 1st; enjoyment 2nd!

kanonxbou47

Braces. They hurt like hell and I can't eat.

...not really, although that is a problem at the moment.

It's eating what I like, but only a little of it.

And I take a low-cal snack with me to the gym so after I work out I won't die on the bike ride home or eat a ton of sugar when I get there.

And vegetarianism, so that my family doesn't feel inclined to make me enormous meals.

MFP! LOL no really.

Love this post.. no suggestions yet though i havent lost n e thing

ashlee954

Water and constant logging. Oh, and understanding that diet is far more important than exercise when it comes to weightloss. Exercise is GREAT for so many reasons and has many added health benefits but only accounts for 10-20% of weightloss success. So I watch EVERYTHING that goes past these lips.

Gum... I keep in my purse and car and if I'm hungry and am tempted to stop at a drive through I chew one until I get home and make something better for me!
Oh and if I do stop at a TIm Hortons, I get an Iced coffee made with choc milk.. it keeps me full !

lilRicki

MFP! LOL no really.

me too...i work at a computer all day, so i'm always on here..i notice on weekends i suck because i don't track and i don't exercise, because i'm not sitting in front of a computer...i always think that if i tell someone i'm going to do something, i have to do it or else i lied lol so i tell the world i'm going to do zumba tonight so i feel obligated to do it:blushing:

BUMP!

shannonichole

Mine is getting new music for my ipod and I only use my ipod for exercise. That way I look forward to going for walks because I have something new to listen too.

shellywoodworth

Mine is MFP too, I sit behind a computer all day and I like to snack, so instead when I am feeling the urge I start ready success stories and it inspires me to be good.

Fieldsy

a protein shake at night time is great

superwmn

Love myself with everything I do, everything I eat and every thought in my head.
