    Stay away from Fast Food and Junk Food.

    I always went after those because they were quick meals but after exercising and proceeding with this weight loss. I convinced myself. I really am not that lazy. I can actually take 5 min out of my life to prepare meals and not use the 5 min and sit on my butt watching TV.

    I have discovered that I have rules...
    and that they last about a week.... before I break it, then..... I have a different, new rule.

    "Not right now," trumps "no" 100% of the time when it comes to food choices. Id rather wait a while until I really want something, rather than cut it out of my life all together.

    Also: EAT TO LOSE (move more to eat more!)

    Weigh and measure all my food. If it goes in my mouth healthy or not , Log it ! No stressing over the little crap in life :bigsmile:

    Everything in moderation. Eat more protein. Drink more water. Run more.

    lift heavy things and put them down. eat enough real food to fuel my body. focus on something other than the scale...measuring tape, pictures, new PRs, etc.

    the end!

    My new rule for weight loss--wait until someone ASKS me about losing weight before talking about it. Talk in paragraphs, not in stories.

    To the phrase, "are you becoming obsessed with exercise", I say "I am setting goals for exercise to find what is right for me", and not add "what do you think."

    I understand that people want to be supportive, but really complementary insults are too much for this girl!

    If something isn't working, find something that does, if something stops working, find something else that does.

    No fast food; no eating after 730pm; stop eating when I'm not hungry, rather than when the plate is empty; stay away from chips (which is the most difficult one for me); eat my veggies.

    Really, just clean food in moderate portions.

    Prefer the word guidelines rather than rules. Semantics I know but the implication over time to retain sustainability of the effort is important. That being said, I suppose my principal guideline(s) since changing the previous program, getting to goal weight and staying there indefinitely is <150 net grams of carbs per day, .7 to 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass per day. Personally I don't pay a lot of attention to what I eat as long as I stay within those macros. Of course I don't eat much processed foods, don't eat much fried stuff. These are occasional indulgences, however, just not a steady part of the diet. Based on your initial query, these would be my rules. Good luck with your program.

    Wouldnt use the word 'rule'... Eat clean and exercise. Everything else that might be a 'rule' revolves around that sentence. :) Trying to simplify the lifestyle so...

    Follow your own beat and just because something didnt work for one doesnt mean it wont for you.

    Fruit only after dinner is my latest guideline. And try and lock the red wine bottle into the pantry if I have a small glass with dinner.

    Watch my calories, smaller portion. Eat what I want, when I want with that in mind. More protein. And I've cut down on bread a lot. No more 3-4 pain au chocolat days unless it fits my cals ( like today).

    A bunch of rules being posted here by others make no sense to me (although I'm sure they make sense to those that posted)

    Oh, and all rules need to be broken every once in a while....
