    Biggest tip? Organ Donation. Got an extra lung and kidney, give'm away. Spleen, Gall Bladder, pancreas - not needed....Donate 60% of your liver while you're at.

    Stop fixating about the number on your scales, in fact only weigh yourself every week. Too many people get discouraged and quit because they weigh themselves every day

    I have a few.
    Learn to read food labels. Count calories. Track EVERYTHING you eat, no just some of it.
    Eat lots of fresh vegetables and some fruits.
    Work out. But also make sure to take a rest day.
    Treat yourself to a cheat meal once in a while so you dont binge.
    When you feel like giving up, think about yourself a couple weeks, OR months from now and imagine if you stuck to your plan, how much closer you could be to your goal.

    Get a toddler.

    Keep it with you at all times.

    When you want to eat, you will obviously have to share it with the toddler (unless you want it to explode with rage, or you want to lock yourself in the bathroom to eat a snack, and that would be a bit sad, wouldn't it?)

    So, choose your snack. If you feel uncomfortable giving half of it to the toddler - because it's high in salt, sugar, because it's really crappy food - make another choice, something you'd be happy to share. Now you've eaten something good.

    If you're happy to give some to the toddler, give it half. Now you've eaten less.

    on top of everything else thats been said, you could try this:

    http://www.livestrong.com/article/440614-weight-loss-from-lemon-honey-cinnamon/


    i drink it daily, it makes me feel good. :) cant say if it actually helps with weight loss, but it makes sense, so why not!


    also found this additional info on it:

    The only true cinnamon is Ceylon cinnamon from Ceylon.

    Cassia cinnamon comes from a different plant, the Cassia tree, that grows in parts of China and Asia. The plants are related, however, they offer vastly different health benefits.

    Both plants offer heart health, and blood regulating health benefits but where they differ is in their level of coumarins. Cassia cinnamon contains high amounts of coumarins. Coumarins help blood to coagulate.

    Ingesting too many coumarins, which are found in Cassia cinnamon, can pose health risks for some people.

    Many people don’t know this and they mistakenly ingest large quantities of Cassia cinnamon which contains high amounts of coumarin.

    If you use cinnamon often make sure it is from Ceylon.

    Morning sickness did wonders for me - lost 17 lbs in 7 weeks with this one, 29lbs in 12 weeks with my first. Only thing that worked better than that was giving birth - lost 30+ lbs in 6 weeks.

    Aside from that, weight loss comes down to 4 words - "eat less, move more."

    Or give the toddler that high sugar item anyways and burn 500-1000 calories chasing them all over until they crash.

    Make sure the changes you are making are changes that are sustainable forever and don't demonize food.

    No white flour, white sugar or High fructose corn syrup. Lay off processed foods and exercise 30 min to an hour a day.
    Don't worry about your weight as much as your waist size.
