I didn't feel like reading through 23 pages of tips and advice just to give my 2 cents so hopefully if it has been said then my advice will just be a reinforcement.

Earlier this year I began the Discovery National Body Challenge and gained bookos of recipes and a free 8 week pass to Bally's. Five months later I'm 25 pounds lighter and so much healthier. Although the challenge is over I can offer up some advice that I'm still using to continue to reach my goals. I will say one of the best things to start off with is to UP your water intake. Folks said it already but water definitely flushes you out (the bad foods too) and fills you up. Second tip would be to eliminate fast foods. As hard as it may be the quick meals are often times the worst ones. (You can look for grilled options and make your own requests at the speaker if you just can't give 'em up.) Third and most important GET MOVING. A friend from another site challenged me to start small by moving 15 minutes a day for one week, 30 minutes the next week, and 45 minutes the last. Just moving a little a day to start off will get you wanting to do more when you see results. Also remember that a healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week. Hope this helps!!
