Aside from counting calories, what's the one thing that you do that makes the scale move?
I've lost thirty five pounds so far. Feel free to add me as a friend. Luvluv1234

    Intense daily activity used to help for me. It improves my mood and keeps my mindset in the right place.

    Thyroid meds - went from a plateau to dropping half a pound a day when I first went on them. My weight loss has leveled out to a more reasonable pace now, but getting my meds sorted definitely helped me.

    Logging religiously. Walking, then learning to RUN!

    My workouts. Not only do I burn more but it also motivates me to stay on track with my eating because I want to see the results for my hard work.

    Make the scale move? Wait, I guess. It's like weather. It'll change. If you're doing all the conventional Exercise, Eat Clean, Count Calories stuff and the scale still isn't moving for you, try something really radical like rest and sleep for a while.

    A food scale. Logging every bite I take. Walking the dogs every night. Squats, planks, and other bodyweight exercises. Dumbbells. Yoga.

    But the one thing that makes all the above work? Determination.

    Streaming TV shows and movies to my tablet while doing steady state cardio. Makes it much easier to stay on the machine for 15-30 minutes longer than planned in order to finish an episode or to add an extra 60 minute workout to my week because I want to watch the next episode of a series.

    Seriously, these 'sneaky' and painless additions to my workout schedule have probably boosted my total exercise time by something like 35%.

    Trusting the system! Knowing that my calories in are less than my calories out means I WILL lose weight! It won't happen in a hurry, but it'll happen. The more consistent I am with logging the more I'll lose. That motivates me
