    In the past, it was cutting calories. I've even been on a 480-calorie per day diet! Never again!

    I previously lost the most weight running Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. The lifting weights every other day. Stayed on a low fat, low carb diet. Relaxed and ate whatever i wanted on Sundays...Hope it will work that way agsin.

    Taking the time to really get to know myself and what makes me tick. Making my own weight loss plan that fits me...not me fitting someone elses plan. Learning how to fit anything and everything into my plan...apparently I don't like being deprived. :tongue:

    Mixing strength training with cardio. Jillian Michael's videos work! I started eating healthier (natural, cage-free, grass-fed, somewhat clean) and results are faster when you eat things that have few ingredients. I don't like dieting. I just try to eat smaller portions.
    Things that have held me back from meeting my goals are sugary things and beer. It's been very difficult for me to let go of sweets, and I like to have 2 or 3 beers on Saturday nights. I'm working on making alternatives like experimenting with cocoa powder, almond butter, or yogurt smoothies.

    1. I am eating as healthy (clean) as possible, and
    2. Diligently logging in my food and exercise on MFP app, and thus being accountable!

    cutting down on portions..really it's less food..you can exercise all day but if you eat like a pig you will not see the results! I do love to exercise though..and that does help:)

    The Most effective thing i did to lose weight was to eat about 70% of what i would normally eat and cut out processed sugar foods as well as fried or oily foods.

    Cut out soda, keep track of calories and make smart eating choices (but allow for cheating now and then), and get exercise almost every day.
