Name one thing you did that helped you get to you goal..

Logging my food... I started off just on paper but now love using MFP. It held me accountable and more importantly, helped me adjust specific eating habits and make specific dietary goals. For example, I realized that if I ate a crappy breakfast I tended to make worse choices the rest of the day.

Logging everything in MFP, and taking photographs of what I eat. At the end of the day I put a collage of my food diary on Instagram. It’s really helped me stay focused and accountable, I’m -47lb down so far.

Appetite suppressants. No more binge eating on a regular basis, yay. It's easier for me to not obsess over food when I'm surrounded by it at work too now.

Weighing my food and logging everything. I'm very short, so my deficit became extremely small as I approached my goal weight, and I learned the value of logging every last bite I took. I didn't give up any food that I wanted to eat, as I don't think that approach is sustainable in the long term.

I always have this habit of not sticking to the calorie target and therefore derail every time. I started again and this time promised myself to be honest to myself and stick to 1800 calories and not jump around like it did before

I built a diet plan around my personal likes and dislikes. I didn't try and fit myself into some kind of 'healthy' plan.

I come here daily, to log, to learn, to help anyway I can. If you keep coming here, I believe you will succeed. My bad days are getting fewer and fewer. I acknowledge this is a lifestyle not a race. I ate good for the holidays. But I'm back in the saddle. I'm a perfectionist, which means, or use to mean, if I can't do it perfectly, I'm not going to do it at all. So, I pushed aside being a perfectionist, but perfectly do one thing. If I eat breakfast and I choose to make it perfectly, that's what I do. The rest of the day is less perfect. And I'm okay with that. Just accept that you have your own unique ways to get to where you want to get to. Just don't stop. No. matter. what.

I work with my own traits, e.g. I'm better at keeping up with exercise if I don't need to go somewhere to start, so I exercise at or from home

I decreased my calorie consumption significantly by cutting out “extra” calories. For example, not eating cheese or mayo on a sandwich. Another example is adding butter OR sour cream to a baked potato, but not both. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but small changes each meal can really add up throughout the day.
