WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST TIP FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Don't eat carbs and sugar everyday.

For me, I don't weigh every time I go into the bathroom and see the scale! In fact, I put my scale in the basement. Weight can fluctuate according to retaining fluids. I get disheartened when I don't see immediate results, or if I go up a couple pounds. Now, I only weigh at the doctor's office. In fact, I go there every couple of weeks just to weigh. The nurses and receptionists are very willing to let me go back there and weigh myself. That way, I usually see positive results. Good luck to you!

Eating for nutrition. Eat the most nutrient dense, low calorie foods you can (green foods, green smoothies, salads) and fill up along with good protein. Feed your body what it needs and you won't be craving junk. Strength train - muscles burn more calories even at rest and muscles take up less space in your body so you look slimmer and high intensity interval training.

KEEP GOING! No matter what. If you have a "bad" day, let it go and start again tomorrow.

Do some form of physical activity. Preferrably every day. In the long run, health is more important than weight. Optimally, both are in harmony and we are rewarded with longer, healthier lives.

Portion control.. weighing or measuring out your food really helps you understand how much is plenty of food and how extremely easy it is to overeat. I think it's silly to count out 13 almonds but simple measuring and weighing goes a long way to understanding.

Still enjoy your food, it doesn't need to be reduced to a dirty word or a chore.

Big Picture.

be willing to do the work because it is hard, hard learning to balance it when you maintain. It is easy to go back to your old ways so you have to be willing and not be lazy. I admire my thin friends who don't have to worry about this but that is not me so I have to do the work. I have to work at seeing why I am emotionally eating, work at counting calories, work at finding filling foods.,exercises, etc etc.

Find a workout partner or weightless partner!
Someone you can talk to every day, share food and lunch ideas, get motivated with on those days you don't want to workout. Thankfully my sis and i are on this journey together and for the most part when she gets lazy i convince her to come hiking with me, etc.

Log every grape you eat. Most of us eat more than we think. Weigh or count everything. It's a pain in the butt, but it works for me.

:noway: If you had only one tip to offer for weight loss, what is your tip and please don't say "eat less." :noway:

Ditch, bread, rice, beans, chips, tortillas, crackers cereal, granola. and forget about high frutcose corn syrup

Don't expect major results in a freakin' week.

Be consistent.

Don't be glued to the scale.

Oops, that's three.

1 tip = EXERCISE

2= Eat healthy...no soda, junk food or desserts. OK maybe once in a great while but it should be a treat not daily occurrence.

"Diet" with the most amount of calories possible.

Everything in moderation.

Stay at or slightly below your daily calorie amount and log everything you put in your mouth. Make sure you weigh and measure your food accurately. Do this and you will lose weight.
