1) Make you journal public. The more people watching you the better.....lol
2} Encourage at least one or two of your friends or family to join. Once you have a couple of new people actually looking to you to show them the ropes on MFP, you will be motivated to set an example. Don't underestimate this one. I use it to motivate myself daily. I have convinced myself that if I fall off, I might discourage my Mom, sister, daughter, brother and sister in-laws to fall off and then I would be robbing them of life and vitality. It's my biggest motivater.
3) Treat your fiber and protein as minimums instead of max. The more calories you spend here, the less room you have for "junk calories". I try to make sure that every snack I have has some sort of nutrient my body needs. Therefore, when it's not fruits or veggies (which I'm not great about by the way....I'm working on it.) I make sure it is high fiber.
4) Get moving. I had not worked anything but my mouth for years! At first I was motivated to move a little just out of hunger. I wanted the extra calories to eat. Greatest thing happened. The more I moved, the better I felt. Now I exercise because it makes me feel incredible! (not to mention what it does for my weight loss) For those who don't think they can....stock fooling yourself....anyone can. You start out small....tiny even. I started walking a little....then 30 second jogs within my walk....I've just gradually increased the length and number of those jogs. It works and everyone can do it at some level.
Anyway, I hope any of this helps. Good luck to everyone on their own journeys and thanks for all the encouragement!0 -

You looked 45 in your bfore pic, but you look 10 years younger in your after. Plus I am super impressed that you have your family involved that is half the battle, getting other people to support and believe in you.0

You look absolutely great! How long did it take you to get here? I have signed up w/this program for a few months now and have forgotten about it, but thank goodness, I found the app on my phone and remembered this site existed. Well now that I am determined to eat healthy and lose weight, it really helps to be involved in an inspiring community and reading success stories such as yours. Congratulations on your weight loss.0
