    Counting my calories and exercising made a huge difference...I had no idea how many calories I was consuming.

    Yup -- tracking everything I eat and exercising every day. That's the magic for me.

    I cut out milk for sure and only have it on occasion....I could easily drink all my calories in milk!

    I cut out most processed foods and STOPPED having "just one bite" because it's never just ONE bite! LOL!

    Also stopped eating the rest of my son's lunch because I didn't want it to go to waste....now I just don't give him as much! PORTION CONTROL FOR ALL!! LOL!

    The first step for me was that I stopped keeping things with high fructose corn syrup in the house. I like to think of it as the spark that inspired my healthy-eating kick.
    Then I stopped eating meat and dairy so often. I also stopped letting food control me, and let me control food... a big part of that was definitely willpower and mindfulness over portion control.

    What is the one (or a couple) thing you stopped doing, or started doing, and you noticed results almost immediately?

    I stopped being sedentary.

    I started drinking only water two days ago and I'm already down 2lbs. Now, those 2 lbs are probably pure water weight, but they're enough to keep me motivated!

    stopped soda and traded it for water

    really, its the ONLY thing ive done, and so far its been amazing!

    the weight that i lost from that alone made me want to work on losing more, though right now im just watching/tracking what i eat, just to help keep me mindful of what i put in my mouth lol

    Stopped eating after dinner/ late night snacking. Sounds easy but was/ is HARD.

    I no longer allow 'risky' food into the house. No chocolate, no take-away,no lollies, no nothing. I still eat junk, but absolutely NEVER in the house.

    This is an easier rule - and a surprisingly good one. If I want chocolate I imagine eating it in front of the TV, somehow driving to the shop every time and eating it in my car isn't fun - so I don't do it (much) lol.
