    Find substitutions for things you love and stay within your calorie allowance.
    I love to eat.... I pretty much work my butt off at the gym just so I can eat more each day. lol

    Remember that it took time for you to put the weight on, it will take time for the weight to come off.
  • Don't begrudge yourself. Instead of saying, "I'm not eating ANY junk, allow yourself to have something here or there. Just make sure you allot for it & don't binge. For instance, I like to drink Big Red everyday. Now, I allow mysef 2 or 3 a week. BIG difference!!!

    I would say Courage and Perseverance. The courage to go on and Perseverance to push you through those days that seem to be a challenge. These two things with all the other good advises listed will get you through many things in life and not only weight loss. Remember to take what you have learned through weight loss and add it to other parts of your life as well. These great habits will move you along in life very well.

    1cup of Hearty oatmeal every morning for breakfast ... Love it with raisins, walnuts, chia seeds and dash of cinnamon!

    Cup of Green tea before you reach for a dreadful snack, (helps me think about it more so)

    Remind yourself how awesome you feel after a good sweat

    Mid morning snack Greek Yogurt

    Ok, this is more than 1 tip but it seems to work ok for me!

    Do as much cooking/meal prep as you can. I believe take-out (my own laziness) was a huge reason why I gained weight...making the switch led me to shed weight before I even started with an exercise program.

    Truly being motivated to lose weight without conflicting priorities (wanting to eat for comfort) getting in the way. It's all mental, at least for me.
