    By cutting out rubbish, not snacking on junk and exercise... smaller plate and small portions and low fat food :)

    Go to the success stories and read through the posts.
    There are no magic pills, quick fixes. Though hypnotherapy can be helpful I guess.
    But it really is hard work and making sensible food choices. Working on calorie deficit, exercising, drinking plenty of water.
    The most important thing is to change your way of thinking, this is what I've grasped. It won't come off overnight. It might take many months or years, but if you make lifestyle changes and new habits, it will happen!

    ^^^^^ Exactly this - no secrets - got my butt of the couch, and started eating less crap - more vegetables, good protein, very little sugar ;-) ......

    Smaller portions, weigh and log everything you eat, count calories........and exercise to get fit and healthy and strong (and be able to eat more)

    I think remembering it wont happen over night too. It took me 6 yrs to get this fat, so if it takes me 2 yrs (this is my target ) then i think thats pretty good going. Eat less, move more. go for the healthy option over the junk.

    I've lost 91.5 pounds by cutting calories and exercising. I watch what I eat, measure/weigh everything and count every calorie that goes into my mouth. I exercise 6 days a week.

    Good luck!!

    There really are no big secrets. Just do what these people are saying. It is living healthy for the rest of your life. No one is hiding some sort of miracle from you.

    Yep...I wasnt exercising much in the beginning and I have PCOS so weight loss is more of a struggle.

    What she said.

    Eat less. Move more.

    That's it. Play with different things to eat so you feel satisfied. Try 3 big meals a day, or 5 little ones, or 1 huge one. Try low carb, or high carb. Try running, walking, biking, lifting.

    Then eat the way you like, and exercisie doing what you like.

    Add some time and there ya go.

    pretty simple, believe it or not (no one ever really seems to want to hear this but here goes).

    eat right. lots of lean proteins, fresh foods, no fast food or packaged foods, healthy choices when eating out, limited alcohol. tons of water.

    exercise. strength training and cardio - exericse 5-6 days a week - every week.... get more active in your regular life. take the stairs more, park farther from the store, stop being lazy.

    that's it.
