    Truth. Though it should be mentioned you need to consume enough to... you know, live on. Find the middle ground.

    Track everything that you eat or drink, and your exercise here on MFP. It is really working for me, which nothing else has for a very long time. It keeps me honest, and helps me realize where I am doing ok, and what I still need to work on to be healthy and fit. so I track it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly-lol! :smile:

    I need lots of water too, to both clear out my system and to also make me feel less hungry. I find 8 cups doesn't cut it for me - depending on exercise that day (and this is just for me personally) I find between 10 and 17 cups a day for me.

    The End.

    To make certain this is happening because this IS the no. 1 tip:

    1. Buy a heart rate monitor with a strap so you know what your true exercise burn is.
    2. Measure/weigh what you eat.
    3. Log everything you eat.
    4. Drink lots of water.

    I've got lots of tips.

    1. Eat more whole foods, less processed.
    2. Drink water, a lot of water. All the time
    3. Eat regularly
    4. Carry a healthy snack at all times. You will need it at some point.
    5. Move more than you do now.
    6. Sleep, seriously. Go to bed a bit earlier, don't rely on snooze, make yourself comfortable. Unplug for the night!
    7. Track your food every day. Make it a habit, even if you go 1000 calories over, track.
    8. Make workout or activity plans with friends, even if those friends are online. Online challenges can be great motivators.
    9. Measure your food. Measure it every time until you are sure you can eyeball it. After a few weeks of eyeballing it, measure again. You will probably discover that your eyeball measurements are off the mark
    10. Make a plan. Decide you are going to workout and then schedule it into your day. Decide you are going to eat healthier, print off some healthier recipes, and then go to the grocery store and buy those healthy foods.
    11. Prep in advance. Boil eggs or broil chicken breasts several at a time. Cut fruit and veggies for quick snacks. Make your own single serving packs. Think about the next days meal the night before so you can defrost the meat or pick up any last minute ingreadients.

    In addition to some of the other great ones... plan in advance. If I know I am going away, doing something special, etc, I plan in advance for it. A few days ago, I was going away for a conference. I scoped out local restaurants, and knew where and what I'd be eating, and how many calories it had in it before I ever left my house.

    I also have very little time for cooking through the week. As of today, I have all meals/veggies cooked so all I have do is come home and nuke them, lunches prepped and ready to go to work, and my home-made yogurt parfaits stacked up for 2 days in the fridge (that's one thing I only like to do two days in advance, but even starting and scratch making the yogurt takes only a few minutes of hands on time). But making my own yogurt makes it much healthier, and so much better, and I can control the kind of sweetner that goes in it, etc.

    Be consistent. You can't really gauge true progress unless you're consistent.

    1 Don't treat it as a diet, treat it as a new way of life.

    2 you will have good days, you WILL have bad days. But make sure that you have many more good days than bad.
