    Know how many calories it takes to maintain your current weight, and how many calories you're actually eating and burning. Almost everything else you think you know about weight gain and weight loss is just confusion, smoke and mirrors, designed to sell books and products you don't need.

    Don't believe the myth that you can't get rid of cellulite. I ate low fat and non-fat for a year and my cellulite is gone. I know they say it's still there, maybe so, but I can't find it.

    Eat above your BMR and below your AMR - unless of course, you enjoy plateauing and losing muscle

    Make good choices NOW, in the moment. Don't worry about later today, tomorrow or otherwise. Make a good decision based on what you can right this moment.

    Remember this is a lifestyle change and not a diet\exercise to lose weight. Be patient and work hard.
    The results will come over time.

    Dont cut every little bit of fatty/sugary foods out of your diet, just moderate it, then your less likely to fall off the wagon and a diet can still be enjoyable

    Two things:

    (1) BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING- that means what your body can do, the nutrition in the food you eat, the fun you have riding your bike under a starry sky, playing frisbee with the kids, the clean house after you SLAYED it with your amazing house-cleaning skillz, your lungs, your heart, your life!

    (2) Repeat this mantra: "SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE"- Slow because it's gonna take time, steady because you just can't give up. Keep pluggin' away.

    I think if you do both of these things, you will love being fit and eating healthy. It won't be a diet or a chore, it'll be the joyous living of life and you can rejoice in the benefits and someday look back at where you once were and wonder who that person is and how did they ever get there in the first place?!!?!?!?!

    [i talk a lot in person too]

    Food is fuel. It's not love, it's not a friend, and it's not the enemy.
