Weight loss is one of those subjects that everyone is always talking about. It seems you can't go anywhere without seeing or hearing some type of weight loss message. Stories of the dangers of not losing weight appear regularly on the nightly news. Retail outlets and the Internet both are full of weight loss books and products. Weight loss is discussed in medical centers and at schools and even in the work place. If you're trying to lose weight, here are a few tips to get you going.

Tip #1 - Stop Talking About Weight Loss!

All that talk about how much you want to lose weight isn't going to make the weight come off. You've got to take action, starting right now. So take this simple advice: Stop moving your mouth and start moving your body! It won't take long to begin seeing the results.

Tip #2 - Slow and Steady is Best

Slow and steady weight loss is better (and safer) than riding the dieting roller coaster. If you're looking for long-lasting weight loss results, aim to lose an average of about two pounds each week. In order to lose weight you've got to consume fewer calories than you burn. As a bonus, when you combine dieting with exercise, you'll be reducing your caloric intake and increasing your caloric burn rate at the same time.

Tip #3 - Save Your Money

Don't spend your hard-earned money on the latest weight loss gimmicks. Pills, fad diets, hypnosis, and extreme surgical procedures are not the answer! These gimmicks won't slim you down, but they will fatten the bank accounts of those who promote them! Eating a nutritionally-balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, good fats and lean proteins will encourage weight loss faster than any miracle cure you can buy.

Tip #4 - Weight Loss is a Way of Life

Unfortunately, the issue of weight is something that most people will struggle with throughout life. Excess processed foods and a sedentary lifestyle are the two biggest contributors to this constant struggle. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you've got to change the way you think about food. It should be thought of as a source of fuel, not a passion. Successful weight loss really is about making lifestyle changes, including making the right food choices, and then sticking with those choices throughout life.

Tip #5 - Weight Loss is More Than a Number

When you're dieting, don't become a victim of the dreaded scale. When the numbers go down, happiness goes up. But when the numbers stay the same or go up, it is easy to give up and give in. Remember that even if your weight isn't changing as you would like, your body is. You'll be taking better care of your heart. You'll be lowering your cholesterol levels. You'll be sporting a leaner body and your clothes will begin fitting more comfortably. When you learn to find joy in these other benefits, you'll want to keep on being a loser!

 
These are great tips!  I did Weight Watchers several years ago and lost 56 pounds.  It's definitely a lifestyle change and not a "diet".  Slow and steady wins the race!!!!!

 
Another tip could be to get enough sleep .A sound sleep will keep you alive and energetic and avoid getting overweight . if having trouble in getting sound sleep then one may look for a good mattress overlay.

I just start cutting things out one by one. I haven't had a soda since July 4, 2010... so I've almost made it a year. That was a huge deal because I used to drink at least 6 cans of Coke a day. I miss it so badly though.

But it's not worth the extra calories and sugar!!!

Tip #1 - Stop Talking About Weight Loss! - so true! everytime when I think about losing weight, I end up eating twice as much because all I can think of is losing weight and its associated with food so I keep snacking.

A few things that help me lose weight quickly are:  Drink lots of water (zero calories and tricks the mind into thinking its full), NEVER eat after 7pm and keep repeating to yourself when you want to snack "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels".

Yeah. No snacking after dinner worked for me when I dropped 50 pounds. I wish water tasted like something... My rules were always eat less and exercise more.

Right????? Just adhering to the 7pm rule helps immensely!!!!!!

 
I'll add that 7pm rule right after the Super Bowl! Lol. Wait. I'm going downtown to a Penguins hockey game... I have a hard time sticking to rules. Just ask my wife.

 
Nice sharing..

But i also have some tips to loss weight:-

Daily exercise for 30 to 40 mints,

Do other activities like swimming, running, cycling, walk etc,

Use fresh fruits,

Eat raw and boiled vegetables mostly,

Neglect all the fat and oily foods,

Take proper rest,

Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water.  

 
These are all great tips. I especially like the one about not letting the number on the scale affect you as you're dieting - I have been in that situation before. I used to weigh myself every day, but stopped doing it.

 
Very useful information about weight loss, I really appreciate this post. You must have done good research for the post.
