    I'm sure I heard it from someone else on here but, don't reward yourself with food. That's what you do when you're training a pet. You're not a dog!

    What I have done that has worked:

    1) water, water, water and more water
    2) no soda, not even diet
    3) go to the gym 5-6 days a week, even if you only have time for 20 minutes
    4) no excuses, EVER! Just keep pushing yourself, losing weight is not a sprint, its a marathon, NEVER GIVE up on yourself
    5) log everything and if you forget something, go back and log it later even if you already submitted it
    6) Do it for the right reasons, for yourself and you will be successful even if you aren't seeing the results as fast as you want
    7) If you can't pronounce the ingredient in your food, chose something else, its processed garbage crap, do this at least 90% of the time and you will see a difference!

    Good Luck!

    Everybodys right!!!!
    1)eat less but more often (I eat 3 small meals and 2 snacks a day)
    2)exercise (you have to work your body and your heart rate needs to increase to reduce risk of heart attack the more sweat the better!!)
    3) Log everything (IF YOU NIBBLE IT YOU HAVE TO SCRIBBLE IT)
    4) Drink water water water

    Do these four things and you will get there!!! And remember if you are working out you might lose inches and not pounds at first so dont stress so much about the number on the scale. Inches lost is more important than pounds lost.

    Best of luck to you!!!

    1. Eat clean...eat foods your great-great grandma would recognize as food, not processed crap.
    2. Cardio, at least 25 minutes, as many days a week as you can.
    3. Some kind of strength training to build muscle.

    1. Log every bite (and measure it whenever possible).
    2. Exercise - get an HRM for an accurate calorie count.
    3. Eat back some of your exercise calories - I do a zig zag approach with this, eating all of them some days and very few other days. Your body needs FUEL.
    4. Don't rush it - there's no fast way to do this.
    5. There's nothing you CAN'T eat - just eat in moderation or "wait 'til tomorrow" if you're out of calories.

    1) Track every bite
    2) Don't do anything now that you are not willing to do the rest of your life. Make this a lifestyle change. Are you going to deprive yourself of foods you love the rest of your life? Probably not. Eat them in moderation.
    3) Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, 5x per week
    4) Eat at least half of your exercise calories back
    5) Be happy with your choices exercise and food wise. If you aren't happy, you probably won't keep it up.
