Anyone for a surefire quick weight loss tip? Apart from my usual dieting, exercising and diet supplements, household chores is a major contributor to weight loss. Never underestimate how much time and effort a house takes. Even more so when you have kids around to take care of. Although it has been a stressful few months since Baby Edward was born, I am delighted at my weight loss pace. My husband too have lost a lot of weight due to helping out with household chores. Old clothes in the wardrobe, one size too small previously, can be worn again.
