    If you want it badly enough you'll do it. If you don't, you won't.

    If you seriously want to lose weight then you have to seriously want it.

    No one's going to set your alarm and wake you up to go running at 5 am before work. No one's going to cook your healthy meals for you at 11:00 pm on a Sunday night and no one's gonna knock that XL pizza out of your hand at 1 am when you've had a bad day.

    That's just what I have to tell myself to stay motivated, or to get back on track when the wheels fall off haha

    Don't give up what you want most for what you want now.

    Eat fewer calories than you burn.

    Weigh your food.

    Stick with it.



    There's three for the price of one! :)

    Throw away everything you think you know about losing weight and just focus on calories

    Best ever - If you were driving along and got a flat, would you slash the other 3 tyres and walk back to where you came from? No, you'd change the tyre and keep going. Don't let a 'slip' be an excuse to give up.

    Keep a food diary. That's why I'm here.

    Edit: sorry, meant to say, that's why I'm STILL here.

    Also: Find what works for you rather than some random strange (aka celebrity) and stick with it.

    You can eat whatever you want... as long as you burn it off.

    I was the sort of person what felt my desire to eat whatever I want was stronger to stop the slow weight gain I was having. Not anymore!

    Eating well is hard. Being unhealthy is hard. Choose your hard.

    That's an adaptation of "Losing weight is hard. Being fat is hard. Choose your hard" and there are millions of memes available if you're the kind who likes fridge art

    Remember exercise gets you fit. Dieting controls your fat intake,

    People say 20% exercise and 80% diet.
    I say 100% mindset.

    I told my boyfriend I wasn't sure if I could train and do a triathlon (he is a triathlete). He responded with a question. "What is the worst thing that can happen?"...Oh right, you will get into great shape along the way!

    Don't major in the minors. Keep things simple so you don't get overwhelmed.

    "You can't cheat your body"

    My this I mean that- just because you did'nt log that taste whilst cooking or slurp of beer etc. Doesn't mean that your body did'nt get the extra calories. Also, food isn't calorie -free just because you are celebrating. I have a freind who is always on a diet but makes excuses to eat high-calorie foods to excess e.g. we haven't met up in a whle, it's a 'cinema day', I've worked hard all week- I deserve it. Makes no difference to your body- it's still not magically calorie-free.

    By all means indulge yourself- but don't kid yourself that it doesn't count.

    Don't mistake "wanting" it for "working" it. Your dreams will only get you so far if you don't have a plan to achieve them.

    Don't make any diet/exercise changes you are not willing to maintain long term. So no crash dieting for me.

    Take everything day-by-day. If you're feeling weak and wanting to reach for something that'll put you above your calorie goal, ask yourself if you can hold off just for today. If you look at is as 3 months, 6 months, a year, then it's too easy to get overwhelmed or say you'll get back on track tomorrow.

    If you keep up with your recommended fiber and protein intake, you don't feel hungry.
