What does it take? What do you have or people you know have that makes them successful in living healthy and losing weight?

  • for me its living each day the best I can. I know I might mess up here or there, I may have a bad meal, bad day, bad week so on and so forth but I know i will get back on it and try harder. What does it take? Hard work and doing your best and learning to forgive and love your self. but that just IMO

    Focus, Being Mindful
    Willing to move and exercise to the point of feeling uncomfortable, exhausted & exhilirated all at the same time
    Acceptance that ultimately it's up to ME to live the healthiest I can and know in my core I choose to participate in that goal

    One of the things for me is having a great support system here on MFP and at home helps me continue to move forward in my journey

    Barring a physical ailment or handicap that prevents it, all it takes for anyone to live healthy is desire. If you want to live healthy, you will.

    I think the biggest thing for me is having a great support system. I have struggled with my weight for years, but it wasn't until I found the right group of people to encourage me that I really started losing the weight.
