    I have some that I would like to add ...

    Don't look for immediate results. Your initial weight loss will be water weight, so plan for the long haul.
    This is a new way of life, so don't make drastic changes.
    Set small goals of 5 lb increments.
    If you splurge on food, forgive yourself and move on. It happens to everybody.
    Find a weight loss buddy who is "on call."
    Keep your thoughts positive.
    Don't focus on your mishaps.
    Keep a journal and write down everything you eat and calories burned during exercise.
    If you reach a weight loss plateau, reduce calories and increase exercise.
    If you're ready to eat something you know you shouldn't, ask yourself if you want to "wear" it the next day.
    Take a "before" picture and tape it on the fridge door.
    Take it one day at a time and set realistic goals.
    Don't cut out all of your favorite foods, you'll feel deprived. Instead, reduce the portions.
    Wear comfortable shoes and clothing when exercising. It will be easier for you and you'll be less likely to incur injuries.
    Make your exercise as enjoyable as possible. If that means a TV and fan in front of your treadmill, don't hesitate.
    Remember not only will you look better, you'll be healthier.
    Make losing weight a control issue. Vow to regain control of your weight, and your life.
    Reward yourself with non-food items when you reach goals.
    You are the only one responsible for your weight and your health.
    When you start reaching your small goals, attend social events and enjoy the compliments of others who notice.
    Now that's weight loss motivation for the next 5 lbs.
    Wear your "fat" clothes around the house. This keeps you aware of how big you really were and gives you satisfaction.
    Unfortunately, there's people who will resent or envy your success. Enjoy!
    Remember, you're successful with every pound you lose.
    The best motivation is when you reach your goals!

    Although I have no issues with my weight, I am also guilty as charged for eating things based on how I felt at the moment. I eat when I am sad, angry, or bored. It wouldn't be so much of a problem if I didn't eat unhealthy items. I eat potato chips, cheetos, and even whole jars of pickles when I am bored which contain too much salt for one day. Thanks for the article!! Will think of this advice next time I decide to eat something and will ask myself if I am really hungry or just eating out of boredom.

    Simple solution

    Be willing to be hungry. As it has been said, drink more water, whether you want to or not, as it will stave off a lot of hunger, then eat smaller portions of several types of food, to include vegatables, meats, and fruits, and grains as needed. Suffer with hunger pains to a degree. That suffering, if given to the Lord, in humility, will help you to realize that giving in to hunger whenever it hits is like giving into sin. The more you give in to hunger, the greater hold it will have on you. The grocery store has healthy frozen prepared meals under 300 calories a meal. Get ones you like and eat those, 3 times a day, with peanut butter and crackers with water as snacks between meals. Then if you are still hungery, be content being hungry, it doesnt kill you, and is good for the soul.

    Some natural weight loss tips are:
    Do exercises daily for at least 20 minutes.
    Avoid more fat and fast foods.
    Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
    Drink plenty of water.
    Take green tea.
    Drink lemon water.
    Use fish oil.

    Wonderful tips. I am trying to lose some weight, again. I've been exercising and trying to cut back on eating.

    My biggest problem is sweets. So I have cut them out for awhile. It's hard, you crave them.

    I can't eat alot of fruits and vegtables. To much fiber. I have problems with it.

    Lemon water is good. I drink lots of water.

    Just some thoughts on this. Have a blessed day.
