Tip: Citing the latest research, Women’s Fitness magazine published that, overall, it is more important to include weight training in your fitness regiment than cardio when trying to lose weight. Shocking, huh? Of course, weights and cardio are best in combination, but if you’re strapped for time (and according to our latest poll results, that’s the majority’s biggest problem), pick up those dumbbells and leave the pedometer on the table.
Trick: Throw out the leftovers when you go out to eat at a restaurant and you order a "not-so-healthy" option, or when you have to contribute to a potluck, or when a loved one sends you home with goodies. We've been trained to feel guilty about the starving children in the world, or we remember childhood battles with parents who wouldn't let us leave the table until we cleared our plates. Throw out the guilt, and throw out the leftovers. And even if you can't get rid of the guilt and it makes you feel bad, not making weight loss goals can also feel bad. Learn to forgive yourself, whichever way you go.
Recipe: Nope, I'm done. Someone else needs to contribute a recipe or two.

WW makes a recommendation concerning old clothes that no longer fit you because you have lost weight... get rid of them. If you hold onto old sizes because you liked the outfit or you don't want to throw out/give away something that cost so much, WW suggests that you are unconsciously giving yourself permission to put the weight back on. The cost of a new wardrobe is sometimes enough motivation not to allow yourself to put back on the weight that you worked so hard to lose. Think about it.
Recipe for disaster: Eat whatever you want.
