If you are thinking about losing weight I would try these tips:
*Count Calories. For me I am doing 1200 a day, my doctor said never go less than 1000 but I would talk to your doctor about what would be best for you. After losing the weight I can eat more calories because I am switching to maintaining my weight.
*Eat lots of protein. If you do yogurt do Greek yogurt, protein bars, jerky, chicken, eggs etc. This will help you keep the muscle and lose the fat.
*Get rid of all junk from your house and stop keeping it easily accessible but instead have plenty of fruits and veggies on hand.
*Drink plenty of water. Drink a cup before each meal and if you feel hungry it may actually be thirst. Limit drinking anything else but water.
*Eat slowly
*Get enough sleep
*Have low calorie hard candy. If dessert is chewy you will eat it faster and more of it.
*Exercise but make sure to do strength training as well. The more muscle you have the easier it will be to keep the weight off long term.
*When you do cheat and eat too much don't feel guilty and let it ruin your goals just get back on track as soon as you can. Also having something fatty does not mean it has ruined a whole day. I have had fast food or donuts on occasion and still stay on my calorie goal. Many restaurants will have a list of calories on their websites.
*Take a before and after picture. If you are not sure if you want to exercise that before picture will help you get motivated haha and it will also help you see the change even if the scale does not show it.
*If possible do it with your spouse. Having the support is great and knowing you both have the same goals makes it easier to succeed.
