First of all, you should buy a good digital weighing scale. This is so as you will then be able to measure up to a tenth of a pound or kilogram. This way, you will be able to accurately track your level of progress, as there will be days where you lose more weight, while on other days, you still be losing weight, albeit too little to be detected by a normal weighing scale. This may result in you losing motivation.

Next, if you have a huge craving for something, then go out and eat it. For example, if you really feel like eating a pizza, go and take a slice. The key to a great diet which you will actually keep to is one which does not torture yourself, and just helps you to lose weight. If you crave for a certain type of food and do not let yourself fulfill that desire, you may end up binge eating. This will be worse in the long run. Therefore, eat what you desire. However, just take note that if it is not healthy; eat as little as you can.

Also, you should make use of positive affirmations to make yourself truly believe that you are capable of losing weight. When you constantly visualize yourself having lost weight, it will be easier to believe that you can actually do it.

Performing more housework is also a great way to lose weight. With this technique, you will be able to kill two birds with one stone. By doing more housework, you will not just burn tons of calories, but your significant other will also be very pleased with you as well, that may lead to additional 'activities' in the bedroom which will burn even more calories!

Making yourself accountable to others is also a good way to help you lose weight effectively. When you are accountable to another person, like your mom, or best friend, you will feel more of an obligation to succeed in your weight loss goals. You should also state what will be the penalty if you were to fail. The point is that the activity you promise you will do for or with the person you are accountable to has to be something you dislike.

So, the above are some unconventional yet very effective ways to lose weight. Make sure to use them, and if possible, apply all of them!
