Hi ladies
I was just wondering what your 1 or 2 rules are for successful weightloss that have worked for you?

Mine is never eating until I'm full, just satisfied.

Exercise!

Food journaling and drinking a lot of water/tea.

Tracking everything I eat and daily weighing (minus the obsessing).

portion control!

control, control, control!

Planning Planning Planning!

Starting out, it was not eating after 8. That's when I snacked the most so I just marked it off there. I lost like 15lbs doing just that. Since then, I'm with Pammy on portion control.

Planning, like others said. But to change it up a bit, I also think that it's important not to be too strict because for me, that can lead to a binge or several weeks off plan.

Food journaling and whole foods.

Exercise! and good food judgment. But exercise has been the most important thing for me.

1. Never eat unless i'm hungry.
2. Only eat enough to not be hungry.
3. Do not eat food other people have prepared. Needless to say I absolutely refuse to eat out, and only eat what I bring to parties and stuff, but I was like that long before I started dieting due to the fact that I think everyone is gross and I don't want them touching or breathing near what i'm about to put in my mouth.

Consistency.

Don't eat candies, soda and snacks.. When I skip that and do some kind of exercise I lose weigh.. It's just so hard to stay OP..

Writing down everything I eat! As soon as I stop doing that, that's when the weight loss stops and the pounds start creeping back on.
