Which weight loss tricks actually worked for you?


  1. Don't drink your calories. Want a glass of orange juice? Choose water. Want a pop? Choose water.

  2. Meal Prepping. You would be surprised how much control you give yourself over your calories when you plan ahead. It also saves a lot of time and money.

  3. I used a calorie counter app, my fitness pal . It helped me work out which foods and servings to have for my macros. I also exercised, a lot. Even if it was walking on the treadmill for half an hour, I kept active. Fat burners helped for a sweat, and to suppress appetite.

  4. Patience. Losing weight (especially a significant amount of weight) takes a considerable amount of time. I lost 60 pounds, but it took upwards of 16 months of constant work. It was a shade under a pound a week.

  5. Use a smaller plate.

  6. Walking. It's so underrated. Anyone can do it, can be done anywhere and it's free. What I've been doing is leaving early for my bus to work and walking 30 mins along the route before catching my bus. On the way home I'll get off early and walk 30 mins home again. Adds an hour of walking a day with very little disruption to my daily routine. That plus eating better and I've lost a stone in about 5/6 weeks
