    Calorie counting (MFP), Portion control, doing some exercise every day (6 out of 7 days..... even if it is just a short walk), making better food choises (lower calorie fruits/vege), filing up with soups/salads at the beginning of the meal.

    1. Oddly enough, my last pregnancy. Reailizing I would be 50 w/a 5 yr old is a great motivator... that and gestational diabetes, so I dropped soda completely and went to water and coffee only for drinks and added vitamins, E and D to my diet.
    2. Byetta- when i weaned said baby, I kept having appetite and my diabetes came back. Byetta helped bring my glucose down and kill my appetite and lessend my need for insulin.
    3. Swimming
    4. my phone w/music
    5. My spouse deciding he needed to lose weight too so now I have support too.
    6. MFP + my food scale
    7. and now my cool bluetooth headphones! yay!
    8. The fact that last years swimsuits no longer fit and I want to get into the swim shorts that my husband bought that were too big for him but waay to small for me, and my desire to get a cute top to go w/them and be ready by the time its warm enough to swim!
    9. Oh and I just found an old pic of me when I was heavier than my ideal weight but it's still waaaay better than i look now. :-)
