Holding myself accountable and thinking about what I eat.

Taking each day one at a time

[kswood87]

Counting calories

[freakiel]

realizing and reminding myself that i choose my food, my food does not choose me.

portion control. I know when I'm having a good week, when all my measuring implements are dirty!

[JulieJ08]

1. Eat healthy food
2. Eat to be satisfied, but never stuffed

[SarahBEE]

Exercise, and no sugar. I am 100% convinced that sugar is addictive. Trying to give it up is soooo hard. I crave something sweet so bad that it's all I can think about, but if I can get through a few days, the cravings go away and I'm just fine. And being able to cut that sugar out makes _such_ a difference in calories!

1) drink 2-3 liters of water a day
2) eat foods with high fiber and lean protein at the same time to help keep me fuller longer

[craftykath]

Staying positive. I don't allow myself to gawk at my body in the mirror and think negative, hurtful thoughts about myself anymore. When I used to do that, I'd end up binging because I was in the habit of 'eating my emotions', if you will.

Portion control here. I have NO problem exercising - for me, that's the EASY part. It's not getting seconds and not eating sweets that always mess me up!

[freshmanweightorbust]

Exercise at least thirty minutes every day, with major ramp-up in exercise on the weekend, when I have more time.

Count calories and plan out food at the beginning of the day, if not at the beginning of the week. Using this method, the only problem I've really had is that I've done very badly about planning my food on Saturdays. Saturday has consistently been when I sabotage myself by not having a food plan and being too lazy/harried to cook something healthy. That's when I find myself ordering in a pizza and chugging beers. Seriously, every setback I've had has been because of a hectic Saturday. Otherwise, walking and counting has worked wonders.

1. Counting calories, I try to stay between 1200 and 1500 calories a day
2. Drinking lots of water

[Callie1983]

Writing down everything I eat and writing down the calories. I try to stay below 1200 a day.
Also drinking LOTS of water. I'm taking Adipex P and my only side effect is dry mouth so I can drink 90 ounces of water while sitting at my desk at work without even trying.
I've been doing moderate exercise two or three times a week, but I plan to start doing more as my weight loss has kind of hit a stand still for the past 2 weeks.
