This is going to sound awful, but I moved away from home! I moved over a couple provinces, had to restart my pantry/fridge... had to budget for groceries, few friends, less dinners out, got a part-time job at a gym instead of a restaurant, my boyfriend is thousands of miles away... so, starting fresh, definitely. I actually found it quite easy to lose the weight, and now that it's gone for the most part, I think I'll be motivated to maintain once I go home..0

And finding workouts I enjoy.
Sorry that's two things, but I broke them into two posts becasue they're equally important to me.0 -
Anger. I was ticked off at my family - over things I seem to have no control over. So I took control of what I could - my own health! It became a project and MFP was the tool I used to help me do it.
That was 3 months ago. Not angy anymore, and 17 lbs lighter!0 -
"If every day were like today, in five weeks you'd weigh 225" The first time I closed out of my MFP diary.
When I read that, I got a thrill, and then I decided to "prove" it was going to be wrong. No way, I thought. Ya Right!, I thought. Let's just see if that's true, I said to myself.
That was 3 years ago, and you see my ticker now :blushing:0 -
Exercise...weight training in particular! Makes me feel strong & lean! Makes me feel good about myself & encouages me to keep going, and going! :bigsmile:0

Realizing that I am worth the hard work that it has taken.0

The "Jmruef has logged in for X days in a row" thing. LOVE seeing the numbers increase and that keeps me going. Seriously.0

Putting myself first (was hard to pick just one thing, but that was the main "one" thing).0
-
being stubborn!0

Doing research and getting educated about calorie burns! I always assumed I burned what the machines and online calculators said. Got a HRM and found out I burned way less. Then started eating accordingly.0
-
Recording everything I put in my mouth and seeing how much things "cost" in terms of calorie dollars. I'm very sensible!0

Quitting alcohol
