    My weight loss secret is portion control. I am still eating everything I like, but I'm weighing and measuring it, logging it into MyFitnessPal, and staying in within my calories recommendation nearly every day.. I've gone over a couple of times. I already had a good grasp of nutrition, so adding portion control is just what I needed.

    Best secret is: PLAN YOUR MEALS AHEAD OF TIME! I will make a 7 day plan each week and write it down or use myfitnesspal to enter my meals. I use another app for my grocery list to enter all the items from my 7 day plan. Use the grocery list at store come home then enter the meals in myfitnesspal using the barcode scanner which tracks all the calories and other info. I hardly ever waste any food since I have planned my meals. I used to grab a few of each like apples, oranges and other fruit but now in my cart I have one of each and I know exactly the day I will eat that item. It's not only good for weight loss but also on the pocket book. I try to keep it simple also. Too many healthy meal recipes call for too many items so I search the internet for the most easy recipes that are healthy. Before I planned my meals I used to go through the process of illimination of what I wanted to eat.

    Buy lots of measuring cups and measuring spoons. If they are always handy it's easy to not "guess" at serving sizes. I agree about planning in advance too.

    I LOVE to swim! I do laps about three times a week for 45-50 minutes each time. It not only boosts your stamina, but it tones you like crazy!

    the secret is no secret at all, it's simple math. Take in less calories than you burn = weight loss
