    Don't make excuses for yourself
    Make it a routine
    Don't expect it to be quick and easy
    Allow yourself to indulge sometimes
    Do what works for you, that is healthy and you can sustain

    Two phrases come to mind.

    "Slow and steady wins the race"

    "Eat less, move more"

    Those 2 things have gotten me through!

    Taking all the advice in mind, Do what works for YOU! Set reachable goals. You didn't gain it overnight so it's not going to come off overnight. No matter how many bumps are in the road, you can eventually finish your journey if you just keep moving! And most of all, DO IT FOR YOU and no one else!!!!!!!

    "30 minutes is only 2% of your day."

    Now I walk at least 1 mile EVERY day (which takes 16-18 minutes) for the last 90 days.

    Dont do something that you cant live with, it is a lifestyle change not a diet. Diets end and with that the weight comes back.

    Break it down into small goals , dont get overwhelmed. I concentrated on 10 lbs at a time and bought myself a new pair of earrings for every 10 lbs lost

    Stop starving myself on 1200 calories a day and figure out my tdee - 20%. Seriously...not just because it's the trendy thing to say today. That really happened about 3 weeks ago and it's been going awesome!

    My first day my husband told me to not go crazy working out. I used to go ALLLL IN my first week and workout for hours and then get SO sore that I had to take days off and then I would just give up. So I started off with a half hour. I bought Jillian Michaels Body Revolution which works its way into being hard every few weeks, and I actually stuck with it. Sometimes its about starting small, when you do to much or give up to much at first, it can be hard to stick with.

    Aim for progress, not perfection.
    If you slip up, start again NOW, not tomorrow.
    Forgive yourself for overeating/missing a workout and move on...beating yourself up about mistakes does nothing but wear you down and make you go back to bad habits. Trying to over restrict or over exercise the next day does the same.
    The momentary pleasure you get from overeating/bingeing is far less than the hours/days of guilt or pain you feel afterward.

    Get a food scale.

    This. The food scale and dishers make portion control a viable possibility. It is excellent advice.
