Make each workout harder than the last, push yourself
Eat what you want but know what your eating. I also like to eat nutrient dense foods.
I like to know why I'm eating it
Eat more veggies.

100% by the book M-F, and never eat back my calories. Eat what I want for at least one meal Sat and Sun. The relaxation kept me motivated to lose the first 60. Now my weight loss is coming off a little slower, think I might move that to 1 meal a week.0

Eating much less during the workweek so I can not think about diet on the weekends. I wouldn't recommend this for everyone. But I am one of those that has been gaining slowly as I age, so I didn't need to eat a whole lot less overall. It has made things pretty easy for me.0

CICO is at the heart of it but food prep has made the biggest difference for me. If I didn't spend the time that I do shopping and prepping my breakfast and lunches ahead of time I would be trying to maintain a calorie deficit while eating fast food everyday. That's kinda how I ended up here in the first place.0

Keep getting up when you fall. There will always be one meal or one day when you get off track.... the key is to having the courage to get back up and go after it again.
For me, these secrets worked:
1- breakfast every morning
2- drinking lots of water
3- adding fruit as snacks instead of chips
4- avoiding fast food as much as possible
5- get moving as much as possible - when I don't feel like working out - I tell myself to just do 10 minutes and if I still don't feel like it I can quit. I usually get through 10 minutes, feel great and keep going.0 -

Making a decision that I was going to do this and sticking with it. Without deciding to do it for yourself, it will never happen. No one else can motivate you to want to make the changes. You have to commit to them yourself.0

Get moving more and control your portions. I don't like the word diet because it's not, it's lifestyle. And ofc when you start loosing the weight you get extremely motivated to continue and push harder0

I got a great little digital food scale that I use religiously to control my portions, and make sure to take in a LOT of water. I also got a membership to our local rec center and go there every single day - even if it's just to splash around for half an hour with my daughter.0

I gave up dieting for the sake of weight loss. When I started to train for something, it was a different ballgame.0
