Portion control helped me a lot :-) and not eating after 6 o clock.. it's hard the first couple of days, but you get used to it after a while.. i used diet sodas (pepsi max) to give me the full stomach feeling food gives in the start, when it was the hardest :-) then quit that once i got used to the smaller amount of food.. eat healthy and excersize, and you'll see results :-)

Find a gym and a work out partner or someone to support you, and stick to a work out plan Find out what diet works for you, not all diets work for everyone ask a physician or dietitian what is best for you and what your goal should be, 7 day detox before dieting Drink tons of ice water Think positive, have a positive attitude about yourself and others, do not compare yourself with other people, and do not let anyone emotionally abuse you surround yourself with positive people who really care about you (do not focus on weight or bmi, focus on body fat percentage, and feeling good and having energy) Take control of yourself, do not be a victim, be a survivor, you are in control of the decisions you make ( if you want to lose weight, you decide if you will exercises and eat right and feel good or sit around eat junk and feel bad) Stay active ( cleaning, helping other out, joining a sports team, a gym, swimming, a dance class, volunteering to help the unfortunate etc.) Eat plenty of fresh fruits, and veggies, fiber and protein Make small goals and achieve them, example ( I want to lose one pound a week and 1 inch every month) 1 pound a week= 4 pound in one month = 24 pound in 6 months = 48 pounds in one year and it is completely okay if you lose more than what your goal is just keep your goal simple and reward yourself with non food items when you reach your goal Tip 3,500 calories = 1 pound 250 calories burned by exercising along with eating 250 calories less 7 days a week = 3,500 calories which equals one pound. and that is easy to obtain Achieving small goals can help you achieve the big goal

Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially sodas. Hey all those colas and fizzy drinks are sweetened with sugar and sugar means calories. The more you can cut out on these sweetened bottle drinks, the better for you. So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.

Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Juice is often sweetened but fresh fruits have natural sugars. When you eat fruit, you are taking in a lot of fiber, which is needed by the body, and fruits of course are an excellent source of vitamins.

Choose fresh fruit to processed fruits. Processed and canned fruits do not have as much fiber as fresh fruit and processed and canned fruits are nearly always sweetened.

Go crazy on vegetables. Vegetables are your best bet when it comes to losing pounds. Nature has a terrific spread when it comes to choosing vegetables. And the leafy green vegetables are your best bet. Try to include a salad in you diet always.

Watch what you eat. Keep a watchful eye on every thing that goes in. Sometimes the garnishes can richer than the food itself. Accompaniments too can be very rich. Remember that it is the easiest thing in the world to eat something without realizing that it was something that you should not have eaten. Selective memory you know’

Quit snacking in between meals. Do not fall for snacks in between meals. This is especially true for those who have to travel a lot. They feel that the only time they can get a bite to eat is snacks and junk food. The main problem with most snacks and junk food is that they are usually less filling and contain a lot of fat and calories. Just think about French fries tempting but terribly fattening.

Go easy on tea and coffee. Tea and coffee are harmless by themselves. It’s when you add the cream and sugar that they become fattening. Did you know that having a cup of tea or coffee that has cream and at least two cubes of sugar is as bad as having a big piece of rich chocolate cake’

Try to stick to black tea/ coffee. Black tea or coffee can actually be good for you. But personally I would like to recommend tea rather than coffee. The caffeine in the coffee is not really good for you because it is an alkaloid and can affect other functions of your body like the metabolism.

Go ahead eat cheat food, but only for flavor. There are many things which you have to avoid from your diet but which you may have an undying craving for. Do not avoid them altogether. You could call them cheat foods and indulge in them once in a while. But take care just to tingle your taste buds, don’t hog on them. Instead of that share them with others. In this way

Watch your fat intake. Each fat gram contains 9 calories so by reading the total calories on a food and knowing the quantity of fat, you can estimate the % of fat, which should in no way exceed 30% of the food.

Go easy on salt, as too much salt is one of the causes of obesity. Make it a point to really cut down on salt. Try to bring down your salt intake to half of what it was last year.
