Here's some tips for weight loss and maintenance.

If you were going to make a full sandwich. Make a half.
If you were going to eat a full burger. Eat half.
If you want 2 scoops of Ice Cream... Have 1.

Cut all of your portions in half.

Here's what I keep in the back of my mind when I'm hungry.
"Eat when I'm hungry. Stop when I'm not."

Try to have 6 to 8 small meals per day, and once a week have a binge meal. Gotta shock the system so it doesn't get stagnant.

If you were going to drive the 4 blocks to the store... Walk.

Drink lots of water if you feel hungry. Fill up on water as much as you can.

Also, in day to day... Keep your stomach tightened, not stressed, just tight. If you catch yourself letting it out... tighten back up. Keep this up for a looong time until it's second nature and you do it naturally. This helps prevent getting that "Belly", as your stomach muscles are constantly being worked. It takes a lot of practice to do this subconsciously, but once you got it, you'll notice big differences.
