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
