My hints and tips are:- (I apologise if most of these are common sense)...
Dont just weigh yourself measure as well. Sometimes we can stay the same weight but loose inches as we are exercising and toning up.
I keep my largest pair of trousers I bought (size 32 😱) and when I am having a bad day or moment, I drag them out of the wardrope and put them on!! It is amazing how that sometimes snaps me back to reality LOL.
I keep a picture on my fridge of me at my heaviest to remind me before opening the door...
If you have a bad day/week draw a line under it and start afresh, don't beat yourself up about it. It is gonna be a struggle and we will all fall off the wagon at some point. The main thing is to climb back on!!!
There’s no such thing as a stupid question, @Autism-Mama. 🙂 You definitely need to look at the whole carb content, not just the sugar content. Carbohydrates become glucose (a type of sugar) when the body breaks them down to be processed in the blood stream.
As a whole 🙂Can I ask what might be a stupidly obvious question? But when reading food labels, should I be noting the Carbohydrates as a whole or "of which sugars"?
Another more dubious tip, from that book I read (should point out it was a novel lol!!) ...was giving yourself rewards when you reach every mini-goal on the way to your main weight loss goal (bit like those 'syns' someone mentioned) but not food related - something more like a manicure etc - another idea for a treat was buying a 'blank' charm bracelet and buying yourself another charm each time you lost say 1/2 a stone or something - not my thing really but might motivate you if you like that kind of jewelry! 🙂 I think the idea was that it's also a good visible reminder of progress to date & so encouragement to continue...
Good tip @Freddie1966 - also remember 1lb a week is a good steady weight loss that is likely to stay off.Only weigh yourself once a month , you get a real buzz out of loosing half a stone rather than a downer if you’ve only lost 1lb in a week . Buy new clothes when you drop a size makes you feel like it’s all worth it

hey i am start a daily vlog can check it out on here --
thanks , i will talk about weight loss and other things
Great advice .Portion control is essential, and reducing the amount of processed foods, red meat and saturated fats such as cheese and replacing these with fresh vegetables, white meat such as chicken and fish, and go for low-fat options in yogurts and cheese. Cooking everything yourself is equally important as you know what goes in your food, and moderate exercise, no matter what it involves will no doubt go a long way in weight reduction. Toby.
Hi So have you lost weight walking ?My tip for the day.........
I hate going to the gym and have never really been one for exercising. However, I love walking. A couple of weeks back in the telegraph there was an feature about getting fit by walking Walk Active. They say that if you walk less than 7000 steps a day you lead a sedentary life stye. 😱
My top tip is, buy a pedometer that not only counts how many steps you take, but how many calories burned, how far in miles or kilometers you have walked and how long it took you to do it.
Having a pedometer, is like having your own cheer leader, it encourages you to walk further, its fun and gives you a goal to work too. Ive gone from doing between a 3 to 8 mile walk a week to 21 miles this week. today, Ive walked 6 miles. Im also keeping a record of my daily walks and each week as suggested by Walk Active, I am now going to increase my target steps by 500 extra steps a day.
