    I told my boyfriend I wasn't sure if I could train and do a triathlon (he is a triathlete). He responded with a question. "What is the worst thing that can happen?"...Oh right, you will get into great shape along the way!

    Don't major in the minors. Keep things simple so you don't get overwhelmed.

    "You can't cheat your body"

    My this I mean that- just because you did'nt log that taste whilst cooking or slurp of beer etc. Doesn't mean that your body did'nt get the extra calories. Also, food isn't calorie -free just because you are celebrating. I have a freind who is always on a diet but makes excuses to eat high-calorie foods to excess e.g. we haven't met up in a whle, it's a 'cinema day', I've worked hard all week- I deserve it. Makes no difference to your body- it's still not magically calorie-free.

    By all means indulge yourself- but don't kid yourself that it doesn't count.

    Don't mistake "wanting" it for "working" it. Your dreams will only get you so far if you don't have a plan to achieve them.

    Don't make any diet/exercise changes you are not willing to maintain long term. So no crash dieting for me.

    Take everything day-by-day. If you're feeling weak and wanting to reach for something that'll put you above your calorie goal, ask yourself if you can hold off just for today. If you look at is as 3 months, 6 months, a year, then it's too easy to get overwhelmed or say you'll get back on track tomorrow.

    If you keep up with your recommended fiber and protein intake, you don't feel hungry.

    Ain't nothing to it but to do it

    If you want it work for it

    Excuses don't burn calories

    Working out takes about an hour or so, right? So that's about 4% of your entire day. So just do it.

    It's iokay to have a bad day but don't make it a bad month

    Also you can take a look in the mirror and then remember that sad or happy feeling and use that to motivate you.

    Not inspirational-sounding, but:

    (1) Buy a fitbit

    (2) Weigh and track your food

    (3) You never have to be hungry when you're losing weight

    Edit to add: (4) Never rely on willpower, make sure you have other mechanisms to stay on track when you're sad, out of town, out with friends, tired, etc.

    When I first started loosing weight I saw a quote on Pintrest that really helped me. It said...

    One healthly meal wont make you skinny just like One bad meal wont make you fat.

    Sounds simple but it really help keep eating healthy and when I had a bad eating day it helped me because I knew if I got back on track that one bad day wouldn't hurt.

    Best ever - If you were driving along and got a flat, would you slash the other 3 tyres and walk back to where you came from? No, you'd change the tyre and keep going. Don't let a 'slip' be an excuse to give up.

    I like that one a lot!

    For me, it was avoid trigger foods. Some foods made it very hard to control my eating. If I get and keep those foods out of my system I do much better.
