    Changing your lifestyle takes time and once you change it, it's a never ending journey. But it's worth every step you take!

    I honestly don't have any tips. I'm still learning. I guess I would say that eat food isn't going to kill you as long as you don't go over board.

    I came in this with the mind set that I would have to cut out everything I loved.

    Not true, If I have extra calories and I want a candy bar, I have a candy bar. I haven't gained at all in this. I"ve steadily lost weight each week.

    It's not going to happen overnight, so don't beat yourself up over it.

    And after all the hard work you put in, you'll look back and think it was easier than you thought.

    Measure yourself, hips, waist, thigh, calves, neck, chest and body fat %. Take a before picture. Changing the measurements are much more of an indicator of how it's going than the scale. :)

    Take consistent pictures and measurements EVERY MONTH. When i began, I didn't take pictures in my bottoms/bikini until I was down to like 180. I didn't learn the "correct" places to take measurements until it was too late. I was measuring my lovehandles instead of my waist and MISSED an entire 8 inch drop when I thought I'd plateaued. Not cool..


    Pics/measurements are the key to keeping me motivated.

    When you first start..........measure/weigh EVERYTHING. Learning what a proper portion size is will be a huge wakeup call.

    Once you get a feel, you can eyeball, i rarely measure anymore, but when you first start its very important, like several hundred calorie difference important..........
