    I got inspired when my 8 year old to keep losing wieght (50lbs + so far) and getting healthy so that I can be around for his kids. I am turning 50 this year and I am in the best shape of my life.

    Two I've seen here but tell myself lot: This is not a diet, it is a new lifestyle. This (pizza, candy, chips, etc) will not taste as good as losing weight feels!

    And nothing feels better than the feeling of beginning success when friends/family compliment on how skinny or how much they can see I am losing! It sure is encouraging!!

    You can lose weight just by eating less calories. (without exercise)

    AND

    It doesn't matter when you eat your daily calories, as long as you stay within your total calorie limit for the day.

    watching your own before and after pictures gives you a feeling no kind of food can give you. so take lots of pictures! one month of proper eating makes a difference you won't believe!

    IT's OKAY to have a bad day! Just let it go and start fresh the next day.


    Love this one...

    No one looks at their unhealthy mom/sig other/friend/employee and says "wow I'm so grateful for what you've done to yourself in the name of taking care of us". In short, it's ok to make taking care of yourself a top priority.

    I know that 's two sentences but that really is the best thing I've learned:smile:

    Set several small goals (ex: your birthday, a cruise, visit to family/friends, whatever). Good luck!

    The choice of what you are going to eat is made at the grocery store.

    "There are no quick fixes or magic pills"

    "Weight loss doesn't happen overnight. It took months/years to put weight on; it will take the same to get weight off"

    "Bad days happen" <--- that goes for food and exercise

    "It should be a lifestyle change, not a diet"

    "Don't let others get you down"

    My ultimate favourite - "Strong is the new skinny"

    Absolutely no relevance to this thread but they are releasing "Finding Dory" as a sequel to "Finding Nemo" in 2016! (as quoted by IMDB)
