Ten Tips On How To Lose Weight

1. Plan ahead: Plan meals days or a week ahead. By doing this you are more likely to stick to plan and not over eat.
2. Drink at least 64 oz of water a day (some suggest 1/2 your weight in water) A good way to break the 64 oz of water into easy parts is to divide it into 3 servings. I personally drink 1/3 of my serving between 11 am - 2pm, another 1/3 between 2pm-5pm, and the last 1/3 between 5pm-8pm. Set a schedule you can stick to and that fits your life.
3. Exercise! We are suppose to be getting 2.5 hours worth of cardio a week plus 2 sessions of strength training. Work slowly up to this and stick to activities that you love to do.
4. Weight Watchers Tip: After returning home from the grocery store figure out the points in your food items and write the point value on the food box with a permanent marker.
5. Have a support system: Enough said.
6. Weigh yourself once a week: too much can set you up for failure.
7. Remember tomorrow is always another day. Do not give up on your plan because you screw up one day (or week) because the next you can start over again.
8. Take before pictures of yourself so you can see how far you have come. Put the before picture on the fridge to curb unhealthy eating since you don't want to look like you did before! LOL
9. Keep a journal of food, activities, and successes.
10. Reward yourself every goal obtained, but not with food. (Example: CD, Clothes, movie tickets)

These are the ways I am successful in my weight loss.
