Spend the afternoon of weekends and public holidays in the swimming pool. Alone? You can do laps. With friends and family, you can play in the water and race across the pool. That is a great way to burn the calories, provided you don't put them right back on my eating twice your normal amount after your swim.

Snack on pop corn, freshly made. These are lower in calories than most snacks. just go easy on the butter.

Throw junk food out of your fridge. Then shop for a week's supply of fruit, vegetables, turkey breast, skinless chicken breasts, tofu, eggs and canned tuna and low fat milk, yoghurt and low fat cheese, whole grain crackers and backed chips with low-fat bean dips. That is one way to get started eating healthy foods and you know what, you might find that you like it!

Weight Loss Tip #59

Sometimes all that extra weight may be due to water and not fat. Cut down water retention by reducing your salt intake. Especially at night. Go for low salt alternatives or simply ask for less salt in your food. Cut down on food that is preserved with salt. Less salt would retain less water which would reduce the bloating due to water retention.

Weight Loss Tip #58

Is the entire family overweight. At least once a week, get the entire family to wake up early. Bring along some drinks, healthy food, a picnic mat and books or mp3 players in a backpack (or split that up in a few backpacks so each person can carry his or her share). Each person drinks a large glass of water first to prevent dehydration, but don't eat any food. Go on a nature hike up a hill. Make it educational for the kids. Bring along cameras to take photos of the wildlife you encounter and of interesting plants as you hike up the hill. Once you hit the summit, then spread out the mat and take out your food and drinks (healthy food, mind you. No junk. Home made sandwiches (skip the creamy dressings), cheese and crackers, fruits and nuts are fine). For drinks, coffee, tea, water, water mixed with fruit juices and honey are excellent choices. Then everyone can sit on the mat or mats and have your breakfast after the climb. Relax, read books, listen to music as you enjoy the fresh air and nature up on the summit.

Weight Loss Tip #57

If you like meat but don't want the fat that goes with meat, eat turkey breasts. That contains the least fat in meat and poultry. Just avoid the skin because most of the fat in poultry is found in the skin.

Weight Loss Tip #56

Destress. Stress sends your hormones crazy and that would lead to a larger proportion of your fat gathering in your gut. Take a break and have a good laugh with pals, or watch a funny movie.

Weight Loss Tip #55

Catch a live chicken. Did you see how Rocky trained in the first movie? Let loose a live chicken and run after it. Now that's real exercise. You'd burn loads of calories without even realizing it.

Weight Loss Tip #54

Don't bother with the tiny makeup brushes that come with the makeup compacts you buy. The results you get depend as much on the tools you use as much as the colors and the quality of the makeup you use. Be your own makeup artist and get a good set of long handled makeup brushes which are easier to use when you apply and blend your makeup. Use these professional makeup brushes to paint your face before you leave your home.

Weight Loss Tip #53

Take baby steps. Losing 100 lbs sounds impossible and you are likely to give up at the thought of the monumental task. Break that down to 1 lb a week and you are more likely to succeed.

Weight Loss Tip #52

Drink green tea. It reduces belly fat and helps you lose weight. By the way, green tea is rich in antioxidants which makes it a great antiaging drink. Moisturizers and masks with green tea delivers antioxidants to your skin to help fight off free radicals that would otherwise cause your skin to age prematurely.

Weight Loss Tip #51

Human beings are creatures of habit. Use that to lose weight. Every morning, after you brush your teeth, hit the treadmill. Invest in a treadmill if you seriously want to lose weight because that would allow you to workout come rain or shine, in the convenience of your home.

Do that every morning before you shower and get ready for work. After a month, it would become automatic, to the point that if you skip your morning run, it just doesn't feel right. That treadmill habit will go a long way in helping you lose weight.

Weight Loss Tip #50

Before you buy a snack, look at the packaging and take note of the calorie count. Mentally calculate how hard you have to work out in order to burn those calories. Is that snack worth it? A few minutes of pleasure you will need to work like mad to burn off the calories. Is it worth it? Think about it before you buy any snack.

Weight Loss Tip #49

Hit the gym. Use the treadmill and see how long it takes to burn 400 calories. On another visit, go for the exercise bike and see how hard it is to burn 400 calories. Try each calorie burning machine they have there and see how hard it is to sweat off those calories. By the way, did you know a Big Mac has 540 calories. Something to think about the next time you go for fast food.

Weight Loss Tip #48

For maximum calorie burn, combine cardio and weights in your work out. Muscle burns more calories than fat and strength training with weights help you build muscle tone. Cardio gets your heart pumping, your body sweating and really burns calories. Combining the two gives you maximum burn and gets your body toned most quickly. You could come up with your own combination or follow The Firm workout videos which combines the two at a very reasonable price at the moment.

Of all cuts of meat, chicken breast meat has the least fat so if you want to eat meat and stay within your calorie count, go for skinless chicken breast. It is the best meat for your diet.

Weight Loss Tip #46

Have a single dish meal for dinner and make it a soup. Skip rice, bread, potatos or any form of carbohydrates altogether. Okay, the potatoes boiled in this soup should satisfy your carb requirements. Here's a simple soup recipe. Feeds 4 dieters:

1. Get a crockpot or slow cooker
2. Throw in 4 peeled and washed and diced medium sized potatoes, 4 peeled and washed diced large carrots, 1 large onion, 1 large tomato, 4 skinless chicken breasts and the bones of 1 chiken.

I tried the workouts and they are fun.

Weight Loss Tip #36

Do not venture into a supermarket or any place that sells food when you are hungry. You'd end up buying food you don't need.

Weight Loss Tip #28

Get busy. Really busy. So engrossed in a hobby or something you are passionate about that you forget to eat.

Buy a skipping rope. That's the cheapest and most portable exercise machine you can find. No electricity required. Plus, you'll burn a lot of calories as you practice skipping. Try to skip a hundred times without making a mistake. Keep practicing until you can do it. Challenge your friends to see who can skip more before making a mistake. Before you know it, you'd have dropped a few pounds.

When you feel depressed, do not turn to food for comfort. Pray instead. Or go for a run to boost your endorphin level and get that runner's high

Weight Loss Tip #16

Eat only when you are hungry. Not out of boredom, or depression or any other reason but genuine hunger for food.
