Best Advice? Buy a good food scale and measure everything...you can be VERY wrong about portion sizes!!0
-
The best, most helpful advice I got is a tie between weigh everything, and you don't have to eat a certain way to lose weight - just less than you burn.0
-
buy a food scale - makes keeping in a deficit easy
eat what you want just stay in a deficit. - means I can eat all the food
Exercise is not necessary for weight loss but it's great for health and fitness - makes exercise fun because I don't "have to" do it.0 -
"Everything in moderation." I can't believe my mom told me this my entire life but it didn't sink in until I was nearly 24 years old.0
-
All the above, so I'll add you're only a failure if you give up forever. Until then, regardless of the setbacks, you're still in there.0
-
1) Weigh your food
2) Don't always rely on the number on your Scales (go by how your clothes fit)0 -
Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.
Nobody gave me that advice personally, it's a quote from Michael Pollan, but it's great.0 -
Don't quit. That is the single most important piece of advice there is.0

Wow, what a difference, looks like you've turned into a fitness freak,0 -
You need to be honest with yourself about how much you're eating. Once I started being 100% accountable and truthful with myself, the pounds started melting off.
...and by "melting", I mean a slow, steady loss. It's been almost 5 months and I'm down 32 lbs. It wasn't overnight and I've stalled a few weeks. But the difference between this go around and others has been that, even if I cheat, I log it. Even if it kills me to see the big red negative "you screwed up" numbers, I have to look at it and I have a choice - give up or shrug it off and make up for it.0 -
The so you want a nice stomach sticky. All of it.0

ALWAYS have a balance in each meal. I am currently 40/40/20 (Carb/Prot/Fat) and I'm not too strict with that aspect, but focused on making sure I don't just eat carbs (big bowl of pasta for lunch w/bread). Since I've done the balancing thing....huge, HUGE difference for me. Making it through the day is much better. That was/is the best advice I have ever gotten.0

A minute in your lips. Forever on the hips.0

Eat like you want to eat the rest of your life. Unreasonable restrictions are not sustainable.0

I had never really considered weight loss to be about an overall calorie deficit. I was taking it day by day (and stressing) then I read in a thread about weekly deficit.
Personally it helped me realize going over on my calories one day wasn't going to throw my entire week off. It made me feel more relaxed. I don't use it as an excuse, I use it to be less hard on myself.0 -

That I have to do this for me and nobody else. Nobody else is the cause for my weight gain or loss. It's all on me. And I'm worth it!0

To get a food scale.0
