This might be an odd idea for a post but I thought we could share changes we've made that be making a small but helpful difference to our weight loss journey.
I'll go first so:
Instead of putting a spread on toasted bread when I absolutely must have some, I rub a clove of garlic on it. It gives the bread a lovely flavour and it stops me from consuming extra fats/sugars. I started that a few months ago and credit my increase in garlic for my good health this winter.
Anyone have any other funny little tips?

Wouldn't call it particularly 'funny' but when making my sandwich for work now I only spread butter (a lot more thinly than I used to) on one of the two slices of bread. I'm actually beginning to wonder if I can cut butter out altogether.
Mine isn't funny either but it amuses me how much I enjoy the change in approach. Maybe give no spread a go tomorrow and see how you get on? Might work, especially if your sandwich is made of something not too dry.
I always make my porridge with water only, tastes just as good. I added strawberries to mine this week, not sure i liked it, seemed strange to eat fruit with pancakes, but will persevere.l
I don't have milk at all and find it know real difference from having milk- I add a pinch of cinnamon and a tspn of vanilla extractas well as fruit- banana, apple or nectarine which I add to porridge before cooking it- lovely
I've also started making myself wait for breakfast and lunch. I'll do a few more jobs or go for a walk. I'm in charge, not the clock and certainly not my hunger...xx
If I have a slice of brown toast, I spread marmite thinly and it doesn't need spread. When I make a pizza using a wholemeal wrap as the base, I put the pasata on, then the vegetables and only sprinkle a tiny amount of grated cheese in the gaps. I use significantly less. Xx
Not weird, but I make a 'skinny' toastie, 2 slices warbutons wholemeal, 55 calls each, 1 slice maasdam cheese , 72 calories, cooked in a toastie bag, no spread, lovely with veg or tomato soup for lunch, it replaces the thick wedges of crusty bread I used to have and saves loads of calories!
Hiya, I eat shredded wheat with minimal 1% fat milk, (orange top) I have a chopped fruit on top, kiwi, apple, banana what ever I pick up from the fruit bowl. It's not weird or funny but it's filling and I feel full until lunch time. I had some left over coliflower the other day, I mashed it up and put it on dry rivita for lunch. OMG it was lovely with a few cherry tomatoes.
