    I log everything I eat. Even when I don't want to.

    Often I prelog. It makes things easier and if something is going to put me over I can adjust.

    I accept that I'm going to have bad days, weight loss is a slow process, and I'm going to have to be consistent.

    I plan meals I enjoy. Eating stuff I dislike everyday for every meal is the quickest way to make me give up.

    Lastly, I weigh myself regularly and track it in a weight trending app so I can get the overall picture of what's going on that way I don't get discouraged by water weight or natural fluctuations.

    I am getting older and too comfortable with myself to push too hard anymore. I do well to maintain a good level of fitness overall, but haven't had that spark to get me to the level I want in my mind or to help with my sport. I do keep it in my mind though, and I do have a notion to get there some day, but I don't beat myself up anymore when I don't. So long as I don't completely slip back to the unhealthy start I was years ago...physically and mentally.

    Scorpio. A lady never tells her age. Like long walks on the beach, romance novels, sparkling ciders and autoerotic asphyxiation.

    How many calories does this burn?

    Just log EVERY LITLLE THING you eat and if you are a fulltime couch potato it might be a good idea to move a little more. These round about 10000 steps (walking) a day thing is possibly a good start and does not crush your joints that much than running if you are lightly overweight.

    I'm ancient, I'm 43, I'll say it part if accepting is admitting. I tend to be a bit hyper active at times so that's how I keep my.weight in check. I like candy and chocolate and caffeine.

    I was a fat for a premie, 6lbs, and also a fat baby -- I wore 18 month old clothing at 12 months old haha bc according to my mom, she kept on feeding me. But I was really scrawny growing up, always 15 - 20 lbs underweight because I was a marathon runner, on the T&F and swim team in high school, and never really enjoyed eating.
    In short, eat less and exercise more, but not to an extreme. It's really as simple as just burning more calories than you're eating and you're gonna lose weight! And make sure you accurately keep track, a handful of candy here and a bite of chocolate there will add up.
