Just looking for tips people have used to lose weight??

Watch your calorie, fat, carb, sodium, and nutrient intake. Cut the bad and increase the good. And, move more.

Drink water. Lots of it. Most people are dehydrated and don't even realize it. If your body has more water it will work better and your metabolism should rise, which would significantly aid in weight loss over a period of time.
So, instead of drinking those soft drinks, drink water!
