4 secrets from women who lost big

A bunch of successful dieters -- well, they changed their lifestyles, really -- are featured in the June issue of Ladies Home Journal. One lost 156 pounds. Another whittled away 140, and several others shed 100 pounds or more. Successful seems like an understatement. These woman simply rock at taking off weight -- and keeping it off too. Here are some of their secrets.

  • Don't eat snacks at work, says Lydia, who is tempted all day if she takes just one bite. If she's going to indulge, she does it on her own time when she has more control.

  • Don't step on the scale every day, suggests Rebecca. Your focus shouldn't be on the number on the scale but on how you feel.

  • Kristine says: "Eat like you've got manners. Chew slowly, and sip some water between bites of food. Keep your head up instead of looking down at your plate."

  • Eat before you go to the movies. Buttered popcorn was once Leah's favorite theater treat. Eating before she even walks out the door or bringing along a small snack keeps her temptations in check.
