on 11/22/2005 After a bath or shower, force yourself to stand naked in front of the mirror for 30 seconds. This will help motivate you to restrict food intake. Also if you feel the need to crunch, crunch on ice. This also helps increase water intake.

on 11/22/2005 On September 28, 1999, I, at 6'2", weighed 205 pounds. My new job took me walking 10-15 miles a day. I'm 57 years younger than I was at 205 pounds. By January 8, I was 174 pounds and still eat and drink everything I did before. Walking is the answer!

on 11/22/2005 When you are eating. don't eat fast. Sometimes you feel hungry after a meal, this is because it takes 5 to 10 minutes for your body to register that you have eaten. Take your time, and at the end of the meal you won't be hungry again.

on 11/22/2005 Everybody knows it, but very few do it - drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Always carry a water bottle. Chewing more slowly and even counting how many times you chew before you swallow is also helpful.

on 11/22/2005 Read the labels!!! You'd be surprised at how much fat and sugar there is in some food and drinks. Club soda contains 23 grams of sugar; whipped cream only has 5!!! Which would you rather have?

on 11/22/2005 No matter how good it is, never
have second helpings. Have only
moderate servings of what you want. In the course of a year,
this really adds up.

on 11/22/2005 Stay away from those carbs! I've lost 30 pounds in 90 days since I cut down on them!

on 11/22/2005 Water, water and more water! It's essential, helps you feel full and flushes all the toxins your body releases as you're exercising and losing weight.

on 11/22/2005 Try to tell yourself you're not "on" a diet. "On" can mean you will also go "off" the diet. Instead, just try to eat healthfully day by day.

on 11/22/2005 When I'm tempted to buy something like a cream cake, I just remind myself that in a few minutes it will be only a memory. So I remember the last one I had instead - which was weeks ago. It works for me !

on 11/22/2005 Playing the yoyo game? I did all of my life...even as a child. Then I discovered the real secret - Come to peace with yourself, be good to you and always keep a smile in your heart. The right choices and decisions are easier to make.
You like You!!!

on 11/22/2005 Most people don't realize that they're not breathing as deeply as they should. As you're reading this, take a deep, cleansing breath through your nose to the count of 6. Now, slowly release it through your mouth for an increase in energy.

on 11/22/2005 Have a few cans of diet drinks around; they're healthy and prevent the occasional nausea of an empty stomach.

on 11/22/2005 Yes, the result was really fantastic. I joined a dance group and, after a week, I lost 5 pounds, which is really amazing. So ever since, I kept joining and I can do a lot of steps. By the way, the music is Jazz. Try it and you won't regret it.

on 11/22/2005 Don't eat standing up. The food still has calories.
