Weight Loss Tips

I am not an expert, but I lost over 60 pounds in 90 days. And I think everyone can loose that weight in 90 days. My friends and my sister helped me. I myself let my brain come up with idea to loose weight. To me loosing weight is not cracking a hard nut but just keeping few things in mind and these things comes from common sense. Yeah, I must say most of them, because I myself use my common sense saw effect. Initially it was a night mare when a thought come across in mind of doing exercise day and night without a meal. My sister read my frustration on my face and took to new life.
She is my process partner and a mentor. I am listing all things I take care of through out the process in points.
1) I brought a digital scale:
The first thing my sister did for me is she brought a digital scale and she has a valid reason for the same. She believe and I too in buying a digital scale before starting a diet that is accurate to .2 (two-hundredths of a pound). I will explain why below (I have seen effect practically). I also recommend either buying a scale that can record your daily weight, or manually logging your weight everyday.
2) I weigh myself everyday
I find that almost every other dieter tells to weigh only once a week. I am exact opposite. My sister obliged me to weight daily as she is very goal oriented and when I see I am loosing weight daily then I liked to see results everyday. The reason I recommend buying a scale that is accurate to the .2 is that there is a very big difference between weighting 170.8 one day and 170.0 the next day. Losing .8 pounds in one day is excellent. However, if your scale is not accurate enough to report the loss and still shows 170 after a day of healthy eating and working out, you will feel extremely discouraged. A more detailed scale makes it easier to keep a positive outlook. The more successes (days with positive weight loss) the easier it is.
