log everything, weigh/measure everything, drink water, work out....hard, eat healthy foods and cook them a healthy way, cut out all sugary drinks, have that deficit and work your body out and you will lose!

LOG everything you are eating now then compare the portions and the actual things to what got you to the weight that made you want to make a change. Does that make sense? It has been a huge help to me!! I found sometimes it wasn't what I was eating but how much and sometimes it really was how much of what I was eating. An example, I LOVE mexican food, I found sometimes I was eatly it 3 times a week. All the yummy chips & salsa, cheesy enchiladas and yummy sour cream pack on some serious lbs. Now I try to limit my self to 1 to 2 times a month & I am selective about what I order.

Good Luck on your Progress!!

I allow myself 2 free meals a week. By no means do I mean I binge, I usually stay within my cals. But I eat food I normally don't let myself eat, like a burger or pizza. By not completely depriving myself, it allows me to stay focused the rest of the time.

buy a cool water bottle that holds at least 32 ounces of water. keep it with you ALL THE TIME and drink at least 2 of them a day. Give it a few days and you will notice a difference in how much you eat. MAKE yourself drink all the water, if you get bored throw in some lemons or some oranges or some cucumber slices. If you get hungry at a time when you dont normally eat and you feel like you should snack, drink a good amount of water then give it 20 min. If you are still hungry, then eat!~!~!

The most important thing is that you LIKE the bottle, if you dont want to lug it around with you, then it wont be doing its job!~!

Don't be afraid of fat. In full disclosure, I personally eat a high fat diet, but not everyone does, so here's advice suitable for the rest of you: Fat is satiating and will make you feel like you're not eating diet foods. And what's satiating is the *mouth feel* not the *stomach feel* so we're not talking about a lot. So use the same advice you've been given with salt...you don't necessarily have to cook with it, but you can finish foods with it.

So, you know how olive oil is the new best thing? Don't cook with it, finish your vegetables with it. Made a fat free soup? Finish each bowl with a pat of butter (15 calories), a dollop of full fat yogurt (18 cal) or a drizzle of olive oil--ask any chef, these small things can literally transform a soup. And you won't be breaking either the calorie bank or the fat bank. Its sauteing (with oily abandon), frying, and creamy-saucing that get you into trouble. Finishing is not a problem.

Don't completely cut out anything that you love! Just remember that this is a lifestyle change, so if it is too drastic, it wont stick. Start small - work out a few times and week, and throw some extra fruits and veggies into your day. Then, when you get more of a handle on it, work out more, eat better. It's like a snowball; pretty soon you'll notice some amazing changes!

Hi! i support all that was said above: keep active, have regular light snacks during the day... and also remember that healthy is also eating what you're really craving once in a while without feeling guilty!

The tips i can give you are to substitute the food you used to eat for better alternatives. if you feel like chocolate cookies, have apple sliced with cinamon and pretend they're cookies (its so good!) if you want something salty have veggies, use more herbs to give a taste to your food, rather than the usual fatty sauces... and so on, you just have to find imaginative and healthy solutions for the unhealthy snacks! also, increase the ingestion of fiber (high fiber cereals) and water and dont cut on carbs or proteins!!! you can also have egg whites when you're hungry, because they're really low on kcals and fat and rich in protein... and i cant remember anything else now! good luck!
