Best weight loss tips/advice!?!?

Don't let the "all or nothing" mentality ruin your long term progress. If you screw up once, don't stress over it and get back on track the next day. I've lost count of the amount of times one little screw up (eating a "forbidden" food or going 5 calories over) led to an unplanned week long binge.

Response to above as to calories - im logging everything and staying within my calorie allowance. Funny thing is, just by removing the bread and sugar, its been super easy to hit my macros. Usually im playing around with dinner cause i ate 3 cookies as an afternoon snack with my coffee. Im on 1200 to 1500 calories depending on workout days and thats not a lot to play around with when unhealthy treats are in the mix.
As to after 30 days, im hoping that i feel better (less tired, less puffy, more energetic) and if i actually do lose any real weight and by that i mean fat, that will be a bonus. I honestly havent thought that far ahead. I just know that what i usually do has not really worked (e.g., eat fairly well most of the time then have cheat meals that lead to cheat days that lead to cheat weeks lol). Sometimes doing a program and resetting is a good starting point. Winging it does not work for me, so i guess my overall tip/advice is have a plan.

Response to above on calories. I log my food and stay within calorie allowance. Funny thing is that its been easier to hit my macros since i cut out bread and sugar. Im on 1200 to 1700 calories depending on workout days so not much room for 3 cookies with coffee in the afternoon anymore.
As to after 30 days, well to be honest i havent thought that far ahead. I just need a strict program to reset. Winging it doesnt work for me. One cheat meal leads to a cheat day then cheat weeks lol and before i know it, its June and im still 20 Ibs too heavy. Ill see how i feel on Jan 24th. If i feel better (less tired, less puffy) great. I may continue. If ive lost weight, and i mean lost fat, im hoping thats enough to inspire me to continue to eat this way. Once i complete 30 days, i will come up with a new plan. I guess thats my overall tip/advice is to have a plan.

Eat right and do “HIT” cardio. High intensity training. You can use a variety of cardio equipment for this type of training. Example: treadmill. Walk at a moderate pace for 2-4 minutes then sprint for 1 minute, then repeat this cycle for 15 minutes. This type of training burns more fat, keeps your heart rate up and allows you to keep burning fat even after your workout.
