First I need to be consistent. Changes to make include small changes but consistency and not just for a week or 2 weeks but the long haul. So my changes, small as they are need to be followed every day - early to bed, no wine with munchies in evening, drink more water, daily exercise, smaller portion sizes. If I make these changes in my life and be consistent I will lose weight, feel better, have more energy, all good things so why not??? Be strong and stick to it. I can do this!!

    I switched over to my blog... wasn't sure where to start but wanted to "talk" about it somewhere... just someplace to read over my "journey" to weight loss and mindset if I cannot why can't I?? What am I doing wrong and what do I need to change. I listed a few that will make a big difference but need to get it up here (in my head).

    Thank you I hope so but have been fighting the same 5 or 6 pounds for a long time and need to realize why do I keep doing this?? I need to be consistent and be strong and find my mojo again. But thank you for the kind words and motivation... I can AND WILL do this already!!

    I think, out of all approaches, the one you are using is best for long term weight control. Sometimes it helps to see a quick loss, but, almost always, the process isn't sustainable. It can be done, and you can do it ! Exercise regime would help, but that can be just chasing the kids around...just keep moving!

    Started 9 days ago Jan. 7. Following my small changes - more water, going to bed early, no wine and munchies at night, exercise daily, smaller portion sizes. Today I am down 5 lbs. and feel great! Logging food into myfitnesspal every day... keeps you motivated. Weekend is here and it's just another day same as the weekday but I really struggle on the weekends. I got through last night and made my small goals for Friday... keep up for Saturday and Sunday - small changes = weight loss and feeling good, more confidence, more energy... why wouldn't I do this and keep up what I am doing??? I will and I can!
