Drink one glass of water every hour. It will make you feel full.
Drink ice cold water. Your body will burn calories just trying to get the water to a normal temperature to digest. Also it is GREAT for your complexion.
Drink 3 cups of green tea daily. It will help boost your metabolism, plus tea is filled with antioxidants that make your skin look great.
Take vitamins daily to make up for any nutrients you aren’t consuming. Do not take vitamins on an empty stomache though, unless you’re used to it, otherwise they have nothing to catalyze with.
Eat ice or gum when you think you’re hungry. This will make your body think it had food without the calories and will give your mouth something to chew.
Do aerobics until you want to faint. They’re awesome for your heart, and will build your endurance.
Eat spicy foods from time to time. They can raise your metabolism.
Take cold showers because your body will burn calories trying to heat you back up.
Brush your teeth constantly so you won’t be tempted to eat afterwards and so that your teeth stay white.
Try the old ‘rubber band around your wrist’ trick and snap it when you want to eat.
Think about or clean something gross (toilet, litter box, boyfriend’s closet) when you want to eat. You will not want to eat after cleaning a litter box. (YUCK!)
Use “Henna and Placenta” or a similar deep conditioner on your hair to keep it healthy.
Get a job so you’ll have to work through meal times.
Exercise twice the amount of calories eaten. This way, not only do you burn off what you’ve had, you also burn some of the fat you have stored up.
Use smaller plates and utensils so you trick yourself and your mind into thinking you ate more.
Chew each bite of food thoroughly and then take a sip of water between bites. You will feel full a whole lot quicker and will not eat as much.
Buy small clothes that you can’t fit into and hang them wear you can see them everyday. This will motivate you to lose weight to fit into them.
Sleep at least six hours a day. If you get less than six, this can lower your metabolism by 15%.
If you start to feel hungry, do sit-ups or bicycles. Not only will it distract you, but you will also work your abs as a bonus!
Pamper yourself! Give yourself a facial, paint your nails, anything that makes you feel pretty.
Join a weight loss or ‘be fit’ group or start your own website or follow people who bring this sort or inspiration on Tumblr. Anything that will keep you motivated is good!
Practice good posture, it burns 10% more calories when you sit up straight.
Never eat anything bigger than about a cup. Your stomach will expand and then you’ll get hungry more often. Eating smaller portions will prevent your stomach from stretching.
On days when you REALLY need thinspiration, eat in front of a mirror, naked.
Wear perfectly applied lip gloss. It makes you more aware of what’s going into your mouth. Also, flavored ones help with cravings.
Have 6 small meals a day instead of 3 large ones. This jumpstarts your metabolism if you’re always digesting something.
Low calorie hot chocolate curbs chocolate cravings, and makes you feel full.
Take anti-acids if you’re really hungry. They neutralize the acid that builds and makes you hungry, and gives you a boost of calcium.
Take a picture of yourself wearing a bathing suit or something equally revealing, and look at it when you want to eat.
It takes 20 minutes for the brain to realize the stomach is full, so wait 20 minutes before eating more.
Eat lots of fibre. It makes you feel full and takes fat out of your body. The natural cleansing helps improve both your energy level and overall feeling of wellness.
Before you dig into that cake, bag of chips, candy, or something else unhealthy, take a deep breath and count to 100. Usually by the time you get to 100 you will have convinced yourself that you don’t really want it.
When you’re hungry after already eating, chug 2 glasses (or however many you need) of straight water. It’ll make you so full and nauseous you will have completely lost your appetite.
Celery actually burns calories. Every hour, eat a stalk of it. Not only will it fill you up, but it will also get your metabolism kickin’.
Weigh yourself before and after every time you eat. Not only will it eliminate unnecessary eating, but it will make you want to eat less when you see the numbers creep up.
Read the nutritional information. Remember, fat-free does not mean calorie-free, and usually fat-free means fake. Also keep an eye on fiber content. Get as much fiber into your diet as you can, while cutting fat and calories.
Don’t eat a lot at once. Spread your food throughout the day. This will help to avoid binges and keep your metabolism going.
If you like to drink alcohol, you’ll like this. Make a rule: You can only drink every time you lose 2lbs. So, if you lose 4lbs a week, you can drink Friday and Saturday night. However, if you only lose 2lbs a week, you only get to drink one night. You can do this ‘reward system’ with anything you want, too, so if alcohol isn’t your thing, try it with something else.
Do not eat in front of the computer or TV. This distracts you from recognizing you’re full. You can binge and overeat way too much this way.
Stay away from Slim-fast and other so-called “healthy” candy bars and shakes… one look at the nutrition facts will tell you why. With all the carbs and excess calories you may as well go eat a freakin pie or something. Not to mention the ridiculous prices… save yourself the money, and the calories. And the artificial ingredients in those things….no way!
An occasional binge doesn’t hurt, and in fact it’s quite beneficial if you have reached a plateau. Your body will think you have stopped ‘starving’ yourself, and you will drop at least a pound overnight! Just don’t binge too regularly!

Hope these tips help you guys as much as they help me! :)

It’s very easy to forget how far you’ve come. Take photos, write down your monthly weight loss, try on old clothes.
If you forget where you’ve come from then you’ll lose motivation very fast. Let your old self push your current self towards your goal.

A note on weight loss, water retention, and the menstrual cycle

petite-ammy

So you step on the scale on your weigh-in day and you see that you haven’t lost anything, maybe even gained, even though you’ve been so good this week. You were so certain the scale was going to excite you but now you’re only upset and feel like you’re stagnating. What did you do wrong? Did you eat too much? Too little? Not enough exercise? You’re certain you covered those bases. Before you beat yourself up about a bad weigh-in day, consider where you are in your menstrual cycle.

Progesterone levels rise right after ovulation and hit a high around 22 or so days in. This hormone is essential to pregnancy; however, when your body realizes that no egg has been fertilized, the hormone levels drop, causing the cells in your body to retain a little extra fluid. How much water weight does that add?

Anywhere from half a pound (~0.2kg) to 10 pounds (~4.5kg)!! The average is 5 (~2.3kg). That’s a lot of water weight! It’s usually held in places you don’t want to see it – your legs, thighs, stomach, breasts, and your face. To make matters worse, while your body continues to make progesterone it also starts to produce estrogen, which often causes the PMS symptoms we’re all aware of. This includes bloating, which makes us feel even bigger on top of all of that water retention.

The good news is that the water weight sheds once your period begins. And there are also some steps you can take to limit the amount of fluid your body retains during that time:

Drink water. Seems counterintuitive, but if you keep properly hydrated through the month then your body won’t feel as though it needs to hold on to so much fluid later in your cycle. Diuretics are a bad idea because they will cause your body to want to retain even more water, and you’ll lose precious nutrients that help to reduce bloating.
Reduce sodium intake. Salt causes your body to retain water. You may also notice your scale pointing to a higher number if you ate some salty foods the day before.
Exercise. Try to do aerobic exercise 3 to 4 times a week to help reduce water weight.
Eat healthy! Fruits and vegetables that are high in potassium will help level out your sodium levels too. Caffeine will also cause you to retain some water.

I just wanted to be sure that all of you out there working so hard to meet your goals to know this so you’re not discouraged when it’s a week before your period and you’re packing extra weight! It might not be that you haven’t worked hard enough – it might just be due to your menstrual cycle! So take a breath and keep that into consideration rather than getting down about it. And remember to exercise to alleviate water retention and those awful PMS symptoms!
