Stick with it. It took a while to put it on, it will take a while to take it off.0

Never eat yellow snow.
For weight loss, find what works for you, just be sensible about it.0 -
When you start out, take front and side view photos (as much as you may not want to) - I didn't and regret it now.
For the same reason record measurements from the start (for the first 3 months I only weighed myself).0 -

nice saying0 -
My biggest tip is to get more active and have more protein! a protein shake in the morning (6am) keeps me full until lunchtime (12). When I used to have cereal at 6am I used to snack at 9 or 10 am and finish my lunch by 11. That would leave me hungry and going to the vending machines at around 2-3 and its all down hill from there!
Enjoy your exercise. I hate treadmills and running in general. I'm playing basketball twice a week and the weight is falling off whilst im having fun0 -
Do your best and forget the rest! Take it day by day and never quit on yourself again!0
-
Every day matters. Don't say you will start tomorrow, start today!0
-
Dont aim for perfection. Make one change each week, rather than trying to go from zero to hero all at once.0
-
dont be disheartened by setbacks.0
-
Accountablity, log calories, exercise. One day at a time.0
-
Log absolutely EVERYTHING... even when it has been a bad day!0
-
Be consistent, if you fall off get right back on and keep logging.....log everything even when you pig out (real eye opener) never give up0
-
Do not reward yourself with food, you are not a dog.
Log everything, absolutely everything. Remember some drinks have calories in them too.0 -
Don't 'diet', change your lifestyle instead. Diets have a sell by date, a lifestyle lasts a lifetime. x0
-
Create an energy deficit.
Set up macros that correspond to your goals.
Hit your macros.
Get off the couch and move (most of you should probably be resistance training)
Rest
Repeat
And stop making simple things so complicated.0 -
Don't diet! Don't deprive yourself of things you enjoy! PORTION CONTROL! and log it before you eat it.....
if you bite it, then write it..
MEASURE EVERYTHING!!
And drink water, water, water, water and when you are full go to faucet and drink one more cup of water!!0 -
Don't weigh yourself often. And remember weight loss is NOT linear, it may take a while to settle, and especially at the beginning.
So don't stress over scales.... and remember: people have gone down in 3 sizes, yet have not actually lost "weight". But they are slimmer due to 'fat' loss !!!0 -
Ignore anyone who says "you must/must not eat this, do this etc."
Only take notice of those who say "this worked for me, it might work for you"
We are all different and have to discover what does and doesn't work for us as individuals.0 -
set small goals with time lines, rather than thinking of all the hard work you have to do to lose a hundred pounds.
make sure you are making a lifestyle change, not going on a diet
if what you are doing now isn't sustainable for life, it will not last0
