By mommysnacks | Leave A Comment

Here is the third and final set of tips I have to share to help you Lose While You Save in 2009. Be sure to take a peek and read Tips #1 and Tips #2. All of these tips are tried and tested and helped me achieve the weight loss I have today!

The tips below might cost you a little, but in the end it is a small amount and will be totally worthwhile:

Exercise Equipment Misfits
Many people are not only trying to lose weight in the new year but they are organizing and de-cluttering too. This may mean unused and functional equipment that has been collecting dust is going out the door! If you have a little bit of cash to spare, definitely check out the following sites to see what you can purchase on the cheap: Freecycle.com and Craigslist.com.

You can also make a visit to your local second hand shop (Goodwill or Salvation Army). A second hand sports store like Play it Again Sports is another place to visit for equipment options to purchase on the cheap.

Healthy Eating
The biggest thing to losing is the eating side of it too! You can eat healthy on a budget! I have lost 35 pounds by eating healthy and nutritional foods all within our budget (just look at all my past Menu Plans). I won’t give you advice on what to eat, but Sparkpeople.com will do just that!

At Sparkpeople.com, you can set up a plan and it will offer you menus based on your daily caloric intake. It’s not complex and it can be simple stuff (frozen meals, deli meats, etc). Oh, and it’s FREE (that’s the best part). Getting the eating part down and within your budget will make the weight loss you meet each week even sweeter!
