Our paper published some very practical tips for weight loss. Here they are:

1. Get eight hours of sleep a night.

2. Eat breakfast – Even if you have to choke it down, studies have shown over and over and that those who eat a good breakfast are more successful at losing weight.

3. Walk briskly for 60 minutes every day - No fancy equipment needed. Climb the stairs a few times at work and then do it again at home. Walk around your neighborhood. Park your car as far away as possible from the store and walk.

4. Write down what you eat – It’s the best way to keep track of your food intake.

5. Weigh – Step on a scale to monitor your progress. Don’t do it every day, just once a week is fine.

6. Find support - Our paper listed this site for a free online support group momhouston.com

7. Never give up – If you stick to your diet consistently your weight will come down. Even if you fall off the wagon a few times, the important thing is you get back on.
