    Habit, honest logging even when I go over, a sustainable deficit (so I'm not gnawing my arm off) and a good mix of strength and cardio so I can earn more cals, keep more muscle and see results in the mirror as well as the scale. I also mix it up with my calories and have maintenance days and don't worry if I go over maintenance as long as it fits into my weekly deficit. I also haven't cut out anything from my diet but trrrrrry to have more protein.

    Exactly this. That pretty much sums up my experience.

    I'm also making a concerted effort to try to support and celebrate other people's success. I admin a weight challenge group and spend time here browsing the forums. Sure, people fall off all the time, but even if it's not in real life I want to find the people who are currently motivated and successful and surround myself with those people. It really helps to change my perspective on those days when I'm struggling.

    I remember to log in my calories every day because if I don't I'll feel lost. I have a weight loss goal every week and it's important I stay on track. So it's just starting to become a habit. I'm a month into MyFitnessPal... and it's working out for me so far.

    Planning and strategy, figure out what I can do, build a schedule and be flexible enough to adjust if I get out of schedule. Log all food consumed, aim to get enough sleep.

    It's just ingrained in me now, honestly sometimes my mind says no, but my body might as well be possessed because there's just no stopping myself...
