  • DO measure weekly. You could be losing inches even when the scale is not moving.
    DON'T measure your success by just what the scale says. Weight fluctuates.

    Do stay consistent.

    Don't ever believe that you can't do it.
  • DO log every single thing you eat, analyze the data in your log and learn from it.
    DON'T waste your calorie allotment on high-calorie items you don't love.

    Do try to find exercises and activities that you like. If you're not a runner, that's fine. Maybe you like biking or swimming or spinning. Whatever makes you feel good when you finish

    Don't allow yourself to make excuses.

    Exercise - Do it even when you don't want to!
    Don't stop trying because each day, you will learn more about yourself and what it takes to make you healthy!

    Do eat at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies!
    Don't skip out on your sleep!

    Do: What works for you. Remember what works for one person may not work for you.

    Don't: Give up or trash talk yourself. Patience, the weight will come off.

    Do-Have patience this is not a race.

    Don't- expect miracles the weight did not come on overnight, it isn't going to come off over night.

    why real butter?

    Real Organic unsalted butter is considered a clean/healthy form of fat. It is made from sweet cream and that is it. Other butter spreads or margarines are made of oil and artificial ingredients and sodium. If you are going to flavor your food using fat you should use small amounts of real butter, light olive oil, or coconut oil but since even the highest quality oils become toxic to the body and hard to digest when heated, your BEST bet is to use real butter :) Doesn't mean you can go crazy with it, but real butter in moderation is great :) I hope I explained.

    Do find a way to regularly monitor your weight so you know if your efforts are succeeding.
    Do be honest with yourself about what you are willing to do to lose weight and get fit.

    BONUS:
    Do spell "lose" correctly.

    1. Don't lie to yourself in your food log. Do log everything!

    2. Don't make yourself eat foods that you don't like or do exercises that you hate. You'll quit.

    1 do - eat what you want in moderation
    1 don't - cut out anything entirely because it's difficult to sustain forever and it's supposed to be a lifestyle change

    This... Eat whatever you want in moderation and don't cut something completely out unless you have to medically.
