    there are great healthy things you can eat and still loss weight
    don't look at daily losses but total losses
    and like people say the only think that gets you there is not giving up never ever
    if it doesn't work the first time try it in an other way

    You will miss the odd workout, you will eat things that you're not supposed too, you will have bad days, you will wonder whether it's all worth it but ultimately you have to keep going...Keep on keepin' on just like the story of the tortoise and the hare -> slow and steady wins the race. :smile:

    Not one sentence, but still relevant...

    Not all calories are created equal, so it's better to stick to whole/natural foods.

    Don't stop working towards a healthy body even after you get to your goal.

    Learned this the hard way, you won't stay looking good if you go back to old habits and quit exercising.

    There are no "good" or "bad" foods. It's all fuel, just some of it is waaaaay tastier than others and moderation is the key

    Heal between meals. (No need to eat all day)

    It's really ok to feel hungry between meals.
