Try to add as many of these tips to your daily routine, and you will surely be well on the way to a slimmer, healthier you. We don't get fat "overnight" - so you should expect it to take a certain amount of time to lose that weight again, but don't give up! Persistence, Determination and Grit - They should be your watchwords. These tips work - if you stick to your plan!
2.	Avoid strange fad diets-if you can't eat that way for the rest of your life, don't waste your time or your health.
3.	Limit alcohol consumption - each serving contains 100 to 150 calories.
8.	Weigh yourself no more than twice a week. And do it in the morning after going to the bathroom - it's the most accurate reading.
13.	Start to strength train twice a week as your fitness improves. Building muscle increases your metabolism and forces your body to use fat, not muscle, when you're cutting back on calories. Cut down on carbohydrates and stick to lean white meat and fish, and you will notice vast improvements here.
18.	IMPORTANT - Eat breakfast daily. This suppresses the appetite for most of the day and provides fuel for the brain while at work or looking after the kids! You will feel better and have more energy all day if you eat a low fat cereal in the morning.
19.	Don't read while eating.
23.	Add calorie counting or fat-gram counting to your food diary for a few weeks if your weight loss is slowing down. Maybe you're missing something.
26.	Replace ground beef with ground turkey or soy crumbles in dishes such as spaghetti. Don't skip the protein in your meals; find a leaner substitute.
29.	Request that your family and friends respect your efforts to lose weight and get fit-beware of loving "sabotage."
30.	Take a walk when you're stressed or angry.
39.	Choose low-fat frozen yogurt or frozen juice bars instead of ice cream. Be careful of the portion size - these foods still have calories!
43.	If you're getting off track, try to pre-plan your food intake for the next three days by writing it down.
49.	Learn to say "no" gracefully when a friend or relative offers you a second helping.
