6. Check what you are drinking …
It’s a common diet mistake to calorie analyze everything we eat, but forget about calories consumed in drinks. If you can, cut out all sugary drinks altogether, or at least allow yourself 5 cans a week for the start. I used to drink so much Cola every day, it was very hard for me to quit. But after I started drinking fresh juice and water every day, in about 3 weeks I couldn’t even look at Cola. So it’s just a matter of time.
7. Split up your meals …
Eat to a schedule, or as close as you possibly can, so that your body learns when to expect food. Then, if you find that you get hungry again a few hours after meals, have half now and half later. That’s much more diet-friendly then hitting the biscuit tin when you get hungry! (Believe me, I know, I’ve been there!)
8. Wear a pedometer …
It’s unbelievable how much this will make you want to walk more, and you’ll take the stairs instead of the lift. Parking further will also become more fun. See how close to the recommended 10,000 steps you can get.
9. Have a proper mealtime when you eat …
If you’re watching TV, it can be easy to get distracted from how much you’ve actually eaten, so it’s better to stay clear of the silver screen if you have food before of you. I could actually eat twice as much when I was watching a show I liked, without even feeling full. So it’s better to sit at the kitchen table and have that meal before your favorite show starts.
10. Check the labels …
A lot of ‘healthy’ milkshakes and smoothies contain really high sugar levels. Whenever is possible, substitute them with fresh squeezed juice. They taste great and they have no sugar, just fructose which does not turn into fat and vitamins which you need for the health and beauty of your skin and hair.
What I like about these 10 Rules is that not only they work, they can be tried without changing your lifestyle too much. But if you want some more advice on losing weight, check out 7 Fastest Ways to Lose Weight … post for other great tips.

Another tip: Eat slow or eat with a talkative friend. The slower you eat, the faster you fill up. Stomach to brain signals are slow…. Also, if you are talking while you are eating, you will feel fuller faster as well…
Tips from a 55 year old who has maintained the weight she had in 7th grade…
Low or non fat everything.
Nonfat salad dressing is God’s gift to us !
Drink a glass of water before eating anything.
Brush your teeth when you feel like a snack.
Never eat past 6:00 P.M.
Exercise everyday. Walking WILL decrease your appetite.
Aerobics are great but weights are better for toning. The best is the two combined.
Never assume your age will prevent you from doing the same exercise you did decades ago. Youth can be preserved with real exercise and a low, low fat diet.

Stepha,
Why don’t you try something a little less intense. Maybe yoga. If you think you’re up to it maybe power yoga? Needless to say, only practise it under supervision. You want to make sure you use yoga to strengthen your knees not hurt them more.
I’m 22 year old female. 5″4 and I weigh 160 pounds! :-S I have been trying to lose weight badly for too long now and nothing is working. I try to speed walk/run for about 30-35 minutes atleast 2-3 or more times a week and also some basic crunches and stretches, what else can I do? I want to lose atleast 20 pounds. My belly is the worse, my legs are super strong and tone fast.
