Track, track, track faithfully....no matter if it is a good day or bad day.
Agree. This time of year I snack on Watermelon. A lot of it. I don't bother to cut it nicely, don't want it to be a chore. I dig in whenever I think I need to eat between meals.0 -
My secret weapons are: always cleaning and cutting up my fresh vegetables in airtight containers so they are easy to grab on the go or add them to a meal. They really fill you up. My Nike training club workout app on my iphone is my other secret weapon. It keeps me motivated and it really tones the problem areas! It kicks your butt! Literally!0

My self-hypnosis recordings... my brain has been re-programmed to only crave healthy foods without me even thinking about it.0

My secret weapon is accepting the fact that there is no secret weapon. Portion control & patience.......0

*I drink a lot of water to avoid snacking
*I keep a good amount of fresh, seasonal fruit in the house. When I'm in a rush out the door, I'll grab a couple apples instead of something off the breakfast menu.
*I don't let my husband buy Oreos anymore
*Sometimes I sleep in a sports bra and workout shorts, so I have less excuses to not work out in the morning.
*Instead of going out to eat a burger or chinese food, I make it at home. That way I know exactly what is going in it, because I have cleaner ingredients than any fast food joint.
*When making dinner, I make exactly 2 servings, only enough for my husband and myself. That way there is no temptation to go over my portion limit.
*I keep my diary open. I'm less likely to eat something stupid (read: "full plate of cheddar cheese fries and two Cherry Cokes") when I know any one of my MFP friends could see, aghast, and unfriend me out of shame!0 -
Realising that I'm not weak - I am in control.
For me - getting rid of my carb phobia - kept me fat and yo-yo dieting for years.
Just do it, no more excuses. So 24 hrs in a day and you can't find time to exercise - just an excuse I used for years.
Keep at it - don't give up . Accept that there are certain things you have to do to accomplish weight loss - there is no way around it.0 -
Buying the right food and walking as much as possible.0

IF and eating as clean as possible. It just made the whole notion of craving disappear.
