Whether you are in a wedding, getting married or simply want to lose some weight, below are 16 Tips to Weight Loss Bliss. If some extra cushioning around your middle has left you feeling anything, but confident, then we can help. The following 16 tips will help you to live a healthy lifestyle, allowing your body to burn fat and leave you feeling good about yourself, inside and out.
There’s no sense in getting on the road if you don’t know where you’re going. Set a realistic and specific goal for yourself. For instance, you might say, “I would like to lose 10 pounds before the wedding, to do that, I need to lose 1 week per week.” Check out these Tips for Setting Healthy Goals.
2. Create a PlanYou’ll never reach your goals if you don’t have a plan to do so. Create a realistic plan for yourself that is centered on a healthy diet and exercise. Include when you will exercise and what you will do when temptations arise in your plans.
3. Find a PartnerFor most people, it’s much easier to stay on track if they have a partner to motivate and inspire them along the way. If your future groom isn’t ready and willing, enlist the help of a friend or family member, or visit our Skinny Ms. Facebook Page.
4. Keep a JournalBy logging your food and exercise on paper, you will be able to easily monitor your progress. Plus, you’ll be far less likely to overindulge or skip the gym if you have to admit it to yourself in writing. Be sure to check out our helpful information on keeping a Food Journal or a Fitness Journal.
5. Eat CleanWe, at Skinny Ms., are huge proponents of clean-eating. By filling up on foods created with body-nourishing ingredients, you’ll ensure that your body is able to function the way it was intended. Give our Skinny Clean Eating Plan for Two a try.
6. Find a Workout You Love
The easiest way to get more exercise into your day is to find a physical activity you love to do. Join a sports team, go for a hike with a friend, or spend an afternoon kayaking around the lake. You’ll burn calories, and you’ll have fun! Have you given our Skinny Ms. Workouts a try?

Foods today are often served as a portion large enough for a family of four. Try serving foods on smaller plates to trick your brain into thinking it is eating more.
