    1. Take rest days.
    2. Don't give up even when you really, really want to. The results are worth the pain.
    3. Just stop eating.

    1. Stay committed, if you miss a day start the very next
    2. You didn't gain all the weight in one day so it won't come off in one day
    3. A pound of fat weighs less than a pound of muscle - a pound is a pound!!!

    Spelling a grammer are important to communicate........

    2. The bed advice I can give is go to bed early and often..... and usually bring someone (Seriously... eat most of your exercise calories if you work out a lot or you will go into starvation mode and plateau. It happened to me).

    1)be patient:you did not gain weight overnight and you will not loose it overnight.

    2) learn how to lose weight in a healty way by researching information and educating yourself.

    3)weight yourself everyday :/

    - Do what works for my body. What works for one person may not work for me.

    - Be patient and relax. There is no miracle cure, its not going to happen overnight, and there will be alot of hard work before you get where you want to be.

    1. Don't cheat yourself - and I'm not saying don't cheat on your diet. That's OK so long as you're honest with yourself about what you're doing and don't over do it. Log everything, every day.

    2. Cardio exercise burns off fat and is good for your cardiovascular system, but strength training is every bit as important - especially for reforming couch potatoes in their late 50s (like me) and others who are seriously out of shape. Do both. Otherwise you may find yourself feeling like you're stuck at the bottom of a ladder that you can't climb because several rungs are missing.

    3. "Do tons of cardio and don't eat your exercise calories. You'll lose weight faster." Sounds like great advice if you don't know what crash diets do to your metabolism. Or what happens when they end.

    1. Take a cheat day
    2. Don't be so hard on your self when you gain a little weight, or hit a plateau. There's no need to be discouraged. Take the time to remember how far you've come. Think of your first plateau as "starting over" look for new interesting foods, and exercise routines. You lost weight the first time doing something new, how do you think it'll happen after that?
    3. Artificial sweeteners are OK. ( As a chemistry student I've always known WHY they're so bad.. so i just can NOT stand when people try to justify it)
