    I stopped counting calories and logging my food.
    I started eating only when I was hungry, in reasonable amounts, and working out 7 days a week (4 running, 3 weight lifting)
    I lift heavy, and that's made a huge difference.

    I stopped drinking any beverage with meals - I only drink up to 1/2 hour before and 1/2 hour after
    I stopped drinking carbonated beverages
    I stopped eating fast and have learned that when you eat slowly, some foods taste really different (i.e. white bread.. loved it when I gobbled it.. now, when I chew it, it tastes like glue.. so it's whole grains for me now!)

    Stopped eating in fast food restaurants... doesn't matter which one, I kicked them all to the curb unless I am traveling and then I opt for the healthiest thing on the menu (ie salad) and water to drink.

    This is frustrating for me to read about everyone who quit drinking pop and lost a ton lol. I was drinking a ton of diet coke everyday, like 2 20 oz bottles, or a 3-4 cans. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I quit drinking pop about 2 months ago. The only thing I ever drink now is water, lactaid milk, or water with mio in it. I have only lost like 2 lbs :( When is my pop weight going to come off!?:sad:

    Stopped weighing myself & started lifting heavy. Results have been incredible despite not knowing how much I weigh. Best decision I could've ever made was throwing out my scale & breaking my reliance on a stupid # to determine my success.

    Stopped drinking. I didn't drink more than one or two drinks a night, three or four times a week. Besides the empty calories saved, it kept me from losing that bit of inhabition. I guess it only takes one drink to cloud my judgement and for me to say, "Screw this stupid diet, let's have smores!" It was a tough habit to break, but it's made breaking the sweets and snacks habit easier to break!

    Most of them were probably not drinking diet pop. Sugary sodas can have > 150 calories per 12 oz can so quitting that can have a huge impact on weight loss. Diet sodas typically have 0 calories, so unless you had an intollerance to something in it that was causing bloating, it's unlikely that quitting would have an impact on your weight.

    I STARTED eating a protein filled breakfast (I used to just have coffee for breakfast). Makes me make healthier lunch choices because I'm not famished anymore.

    Stopped drinking pop (except on a rare occasion, or as a mix in a drink).
    Drinking more water...........
    Started to cook more of my meals (I'm single...cooking for one is often difficult)
    Started to WALK more - and am now hiking adventurous trails, and loving it!
    Stopped kicking myself in the *kitten* all the time.......I am who I am, and this is a journey that doesn't have to happen overnight!

    After a life of cooking for a family, my grandmother found it hard to cook for one so she bought some freezer safe containers and used leftovers for homemade TV dinners. That way she could have a healthy homemade dinner for one without messing up the kitchen.
