Be very careful about the diet pills, otherwise, just keep doing what you are. Diets are for people who want to lose really HUGE amounts of weight, and after the diet is over, they need to keep healthy habits, not go back to the way they were. The hardest part of it is sticking to it, and I really don't things like Only raw food diets are that great because they're so hard to follow.
I suggest you drink plenty of water. Keep veggies around the house to snack on, rather than junk food.
Eat whole grains. They fill you up. Choose healthy "junk food" over unhealthy junk food, like baked chips, chips made from vegetables. Try and buy things with OUT high fructose corn syrup in it. I mean, it's not terrible, but it's best to just avoid it all together.
As for working out, do some Zumba, Its fun, and you can find videos on youtube. Run up and down stairs if you have any. You can also find other ways to incorporate exsecize into your life, like parking further than you normally would when you go to the mall. Take longer routes while walking. Even go to the mall, not to shop, but to walk. Use the stairs over elevators.
OH! I know this site, it is free and it helps. [link]

OH! Chew your food longer. It also helps if you have a group of friends to do it with you. One thing I saw a person on youtube do(he has lost So much weight) is that he did it with a group of friends, they gave each other support. They would have weekly weigh ins. The would all weigh them selves after one week, of doing what ever they were doing to lose weight, and everyone would put in about 20 or so dollars into a money pool. Who ever lost the MOST weight, got the money.

I agree on many accounts. :nod: Sorry if I uttered similar advice, I hadn't read your comment before I posted my own.

The whole grain- and stairs/walks- and the chew longer-suggestions are ones I tested myself and they are all good value!! :clap:
I stopped eating white bread (made of wheat) altogether and so far, I never regretted this decision. When I have pasta, I also choose the whole grain version.
I have plenty of stairs around, and the house I live in doesn't have an elevator anyway. At my place of work I usually take the stairs for any walking distance unless I have to carry really heavy stuff. I plan to take an odometer to work so I actually know how many (kilo)meters I walk/run per evening. Should be many!
The chewig longer was also an advice my gran gave me, and while it may be sorta embarrassing to still eat while others finished long ago, it works like a charm!

Yup yup, it's something so small, but it's very simple.
