    I burn a lot less calories than the MFP's database auto-calculates, so:

    Underestimate your burns, overestimate your consumption - come out on top.

    I've never heard this one before. I'm making it my new mantra because I'm a private binge eater.

    High volume low energy foods (i.e. veggies) are great for filling up between meals.

    Don't weigh yourself daily. Allow a "cheat" day every once in a while, but with reason!!

    These are all great-who knew this would be so popular of a topic :).

    The one Im putting in my head now is:

    The scale doesnt measure how great you feel!!! When we feel great, all is right with the world.

    It doesn't matter if a mile is 6 mins, 16 mins, 26 mins or 36 mins, a mile is still a mile.

    Next meal. Next workout. Tomorrow.

    Learning self forgiveness has been the most challenging, thus far. I have an all or nothing mentality that has been harmful to my relationship with food my entire life. Instead of saying, oh well or next week, I strive to do better next meal, next workout. Tomorrow is a clean slate.

    That I am WORTH the time and the effort to be the best me I can be.

    Yes ma'am! My sense of worth has sky rocketed since taking better care of myself. I so appreciate your focus on this.

    Never reaching my goal is not a failure because I will always have something to work toward.
