Sometimes I get lazy and gain due to lack of exercise and bad food choices washed down with beer. When determined I can resist anything and cut calories while upping exercise. Let's just hope it's less of the former and more of the latter. Good food at a calorie deficit and exercise, lots of it too. Or what they said ^ in five words.0

1. Food scale
2. Reasonable calorie deficit that I can maintain.
3. Incorporating foods I enjoy so I never feel deprived.
4. Learning what macronutrients are/why they are important/how many I need.0 -

Not making it any harder than what it is. Eat fewer calories than you burn. Easy game yo0 -
Cutting out soda.
Working out consistently.
Having lots of patience, weight loss doesn't happen as fast as we'd like.
Having realistic weight loss goals i.e. you're not going to lose 20 lbs in a month.
Not worrying too much as to what the scale says.
Realizing there are no bad foods, I can eat what I want as long as I eat less than I burn.0 -

Get an activity tracker.
Do at least 10,000 steps a day.
Set it to lose 1 pound a week.
Eat a variety of foods so you get your essential nutrients.
Don't go over your calories.
Don't cheat because you will only be cheating yourself.
If you weigh yourself daily do not be discouraged by a 1 to 2 pound fluctuation plus or minus.
I have been doing this for over 20 weeks now and have lost 25 pounds so far.0 -
Having a well balanced diet, exercising daily at a minimum of 25 minutes, drinking my shakeology, having motivational pics, and having that motivational bathing suit!0

All the same as others on eating a nutritional diet and exercising off more calories than I eat
The thing I learned?
It is a long haul
It has ups and downs and days I don't eat right.
I have to be my own best fried and get back up and keep doing what I know works.
I'm at the end of this journey. Iay be more impatient with next 10 pounds of fat than the first 50.
It may take almost as long to lose!
But I'm in it for life
It will happen!0 -
Pre logging. I've already entered tomorrow's food. I like having a plan. I might edit it a little as the day goes on but I like the framework. It seems weird to me to log after the fact. It would be like writing a to do list after I've already finished each errand.
Also, I like the challenge of getting in enough activity each day to eat more. My diary for tomorrow is in the red for now but will flip to green after I log exercise.0 -
If it makes you feel sick, don't eat it
If it makes you unhappy, don't eat it
However you decide to get your deficit, it won't work if you're miserable

Really really try not to make it a diet. Make it a lifestyle change. This is just how you're going to eat from now on. Yeah....sure we're on a calorie deficit but eventually when you get closer to your goal you will transition into maintenance. If you are doing something too radical and different then how you normally live then you will gain it back. And then as the decades pass and you've been doing different diets over the years you'll be back on MFP vowing this time to make it a lifestyle change. So save yourself years of misery and do it right this time. Here and now.0
