      Mine was from "hey elliot" a youtube channel if you've heard of him. anyway someone asked him to give a workout regiment. His response was that we get so tangled in what is the newest and greatest and want all the little details about doing it perfectly right.

      He said that the most important part is doing. It doesn't matter what, just get up and do. You gain experience and then can make adjustments as you go, but what is most important is doing something.

      You got yourself here and you are the only one who can get the weight off, so stop complaining and do it.

      My top six:

      1. Eat a gram of protein per pound of body weight

      2. Eat smaller meals throughout the day.

      3. It's a lifestyle change.

      4. fruit & veg

      5. eat enough to sustain your workouts

      6. lift weights!

      7. eat "clean"

      Technically not advice but a saying that hits home: What you eat in private you wear in public. So true
      oh ya also: Broccoli may get stuck in your teeth but fries get stuck in your *kitten*! :laugh:

      Whenever you are craving something bad, just remember that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. My mom told me this, and I think its the weight watchers slogan or something.....but I love it! If skinny tastes better than bacon or ben n jerrys then I can't wait!!!!

      Bro, do you even lift?

      This is very good advice. I like math (consume less than your TDEE and you will lose weight) so my first and only diet last fall led to quick and easy weight loss.

      That being said, most of my exercise was cardio and I lost more muscle mass than I needed while my BMI dropped from almost 25 to about 20. Since starting to lift regularly this January my weight has remained stable as my body fat continues to drop (under 10% at this point). I feel much stronger and healthier since starting to lift weights.

      Gaining muscle is much harder than losing weight. Lift weights and keep your deficit to TDEE reasonable during your weight loss (while getting plenty of protein) and you can reduce the amount of muscle you lose as your weight drops.

      Don't eat less, eat better and more regularly.

      Also: find out what YOUR body needs. Don't mindlessly take advice from people who don't know your body.

      Stay consistent and do whatever you do for several months before working out if it helps or not.

      Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein :smokin:

      This one pretty much applies to everything in life, and weight loss / getting healthy is no exception.

      show previous quotes

      it's funny- you LOOK Italian... have you known the pleasures of a loaf of bread, roasted peppers, fontinella, olive oil.... ? it's so not easy sometimes..

      This has to be the rudest post. "you LOOK Italian." Well that's judgemental.
