Ann Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Weight loss is one resolution that a lot of us seem to make but don't always stick to. What are some things you have done to help you stick to a weight loss routine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyoung20 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 My best friend (who doesn't have a weght issue) says to eat slow, be picky and stop when you are satisfied. Don't wait until your full. Stopping the sugar has worked for me. God Bless, Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jang Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Drink lots of water. Whenever you feel hungry, drink a glass of water before you eat anything. It helps me. And working out... A Lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmynatt Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I saw a quote today. It said: I'm on the 30 day weight loss program and I've already lost 15 days. I thought that was typical of my weight loss programs of the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 For me, it helps to keep up my exercise routine. Also, minimize snacks and desserts. Lucie and I eat out a lot and sharing an entree helps, when we can agree on one! Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 When I went on weight watchers point system it worked for me. It wasn't fast but it was fairly easy to stick with. I lost 32 pounds. Then once with Johnny his biscuits and gravy every night put the weight back on me. Working where I had to walk a lot and drinking a of water took part of it off again. Now my eating habits are terrible. I eat what I want when I have time. Sometimes that amounts to one meal a day. Once in a while I feel guilty and get a couple of good salads but for the most part I eat on the run and that is usually a hamburger or sub. I haven't lost any more weight but I don't gain either so I guess I am not doing too bad after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I can NEVER do it alone. It only works for me if I have a buddy (or once my hubby) to do the routine with. If it's just up to me, I skip exercising and the like. Which reminds me, I need to call my buddy again...soon! Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 For me, like if I have a chocolate chip cookie. I will break off little pieces and eat them one at a time. The smaller the pieces the less calories the cookie has. If I have a piece of cake, I do the same thing. I eat little forkfuls. I savor every single tiny little bite until it is all gone. Smaller forkfuls and breaking cookies into little pieces instead of big bites is what saves on calories for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well for me I have found that every little bit helps. For example, I heard somewhere that we should take 5,000 steps a day. So now I park farther away at work so that it takes me more steps to get in the building and the same when I shop etc. I quit the fries with a sandwich at lunch, and switched to the new select low carb beers. It all adds up and little things keep the weight off. When I do exercise I like step aerobics--there is a class starting tomorrow and I am trying to talk my daughter into going with me.
