Ten more weight loss tips, hopefully these are all helping you on this journey to lose weight. Remember it will be difficult but it can be done. Take all these into account or use the ones you have and don't give up.
#41. Be sure to drink your 8 glasses of water a day.
#42. Wait 2 hours before exercising after eating, by doing this you will have more energy and more endurance to do the workout.
#43. Make exercise part of your daily routine, if it becomes a habit, it will not get pushed aside if life gets in the way.
#44. Find an exercise buddy whose fitness level is similar to yours, that way you can pick activities that you will both enjoy and both people can do them at about the same level.
#45. For additional motivation, subscribe to a magazine that includes your sport of choice. If your new activity is tennis, or basketball, subscribe to one of those magazines. Reading about it will make you more likely to want to get out there and do it.
#46. Never let your fitness routine become a routine. If it becomes easy, you should ramp it up. For example if you are walking for 30 minutes at a slow pace, speed it up to a medium speed, extend the time, or even both if you feel up to it.
#47. Exercise isn't just going to the gym. All work you do around the house can be exercise such as mowing the lawn you can put a backpack on to make it a better workout or when you go to the mall or to work, park at the back of the parking lot so you get a little workout walking into and out of work.
#48. Take the stairs instead of an elevator. It helps work you legs and your bottom, plus it can be great cardio if you run up and down a few times.
#49. Don't skip meals, skipping meals will only slow down your metabolism which will make your body want to store all the fat instead of wanting to get rid of it.
#50. Take a multivitamin daily to make sure you are getting all the nutrients needed.

10 More Weight Loss Tips
By Stephanie Boyle
Here's 10 more weight loss tips for Atkins plan followers and can be modified for other weight loss plans as well. Keep the tips coming...
#30. A very important tip is to make sure you discuss your weight loss plan with your physician to make sure they think that is the best thing for you to do.
#31. Buy foods that are pre packaged, pre cooked and pre washed, that way everything is ready for you and will be easy if you're hungry to make a quick, healthy meal.
#32. Don't use coffee or tea as part of your water intake for the day. They are great diurectics but only to be used above and beyond your eight glasses of water per day.
#33. Drink water throughout the day, make sure you don't wind up thirsty because by the time you're thirsty you are already dehydrated.
#34. To keep herbs fresh longer, rinse them and lightly wrap them in paper towels, put them in plastic bags and refrigerate. This makes them last much longer.
#35. Shop the perimeter of the store where the healthier foods tend to be, normally the junk foods and processed foods are what fills up the middle aisles.
#36. In general the smaller the vegetable the better the flavor and the more nutrients are still in it in full force.
#37. Some airlines will offer controlled carb options, if not order a kosher meal or a salad with protein. Most airlines will accomodate your requests.
#38. Variety in your diet ensures more nutrients, try to accomodate 10 different kinds of foods in your diet daily.
#39. Swap recipes with other people who are controlling their carb intake as well, you can find some great recipes just through word or mouth.
#40. Don't weigh in more than twice weekly, weight fluctuates on a day to day basis so weighing yourself daily may only bring you down as opposed to bring your weight down.
Bonus tip of the day!
Talk about your successes, by doing this you will continually be pumping yourself up as you talk about it. Be proud of what you're doing for yourself. Every little bit helps and is an improvement even if you are only losing 1-3 pounds per week. It is still beneficial to your health and you may be losing much more in inches. Be proud and speak up, you may even help pump up someone else into doing this for themselves and that you can definately be proud of.

Here's another 10 Weight Loss Tips for you Atkins fans out there, as well as everyone else who can take these tips and modify it for whatever weight loss plan you are on.
#21. Focus on the great things you can eat now as opposed to the things you have given up. Remember this is a healthier lifestyle for you.
#22. Make sure you understand the program before embarking on it, you will receive many questions from others and want to be able to explain why you are on it and how it works.
#23. Carry nuts with you, individually wrapped pieces of cheese or low carb protein bars just in case you being to get hungry so you don't end up grabbing a chocolate bar or bag of chips.
#24. Store nuts and nut oil in the fridge instead of the pantry, they will last longer in the fridge.
#25. Taste nuts before chopping or grinding, because of their high fat content, they can spoil and become rancid very quickly.
#26. Don't skip on fats because if you try a low fat version of the Atkins program you will be hungrier and more susceptible to cravings.
#27. If you're having a salad as your main course, add avocado, chicken, cheese or other fats and/or protein to minimize the impact or carbs on your blood sugar.
#28. Often called the perfect food, eggs are full of protein, healthy fat, contains 13 vitamins and minerals and are low in sodium. That's what I call a perfect food!
#29. Whenever possible, use stir frying instead of frying your foods, it offers a lot better food to put in your body.
#30. Sprinkle flax seed meal on your yogurt. cottage cheese or soup for more fiber and an omega 3 boost.

#11. As a reward, treat yourself to new clothes in styles you never thought you would wear again.
#12. Keep a carb counter close to your refrigerator so you don't have to pull it out all the time. Makes it more convenient and you will use it more often.
#13. Fresh fruits and vegetables are less likely to have a large impact on your blood sugar than fruit and vegetable juices, so eat fresh fruit!
#14. Try a new recipe each week in your low carb cookbook and note the ones you liked so you can make them again.
#15. Most recipes you are used of using anyways can be modified into low carb, so you can still enjoy most of your favorite meals.
#16. When eating out, ask the server if they can replace the potatoes or rice with an extra serving of vegetables. Most restaurants will accommodate customers requests.
#17. If you do eat at a restaurant order the basics such as fish, lamb chops, or roasted chicken.
#18. Get into the habit of adding lentils, chick peas and other legumes to your salads and to your diet in general. These makes a filling fiber rich meal with well needed nutrients.

#20. If you find yourself starving and full of food cravings, increase intake on fat and protein and cut back your carb intake.

#2. Commit to this change, knowing this is a healthier way of life for you.
#3. Add variety, do anything to avoid boredom in what you're doing or else you will not succeed.
#4. Weigh yourself at the same time of day to keep you motivated. If not and you see the weight fluctuate for the worse it will bring you down.
#5. If you have a photo of yourself the weight you want to be, whether it was 10 years ago, or as soon as last month. Post it on your fridge, that way you will see what you hope to achieve.
#6. Exercises boosts your metabolism, so if you're complaining of a slow metabolism, that's the quick fix.
#7. Exercise will keep your mind off food, relieves stress and anxiety and keeps your head clear. So clearly put, why not exercise?
#8. If you're having problems exercising by yourself, find an exercise partner. Make sure it's someone reliable that will motivate you to be out there.
#9. Always have suitable food on hand so you do not cheat.
#10. Don't worry too much about your scale if it's not showing weight loss. Have you measurements set out and measure yourself once a week and you may be surprised by your progress.
