    I am far from being done with losing the weight that I need to but my one thing:

    Uni and MFP. Uni because moving away has allowed me to go shopping on my own and buy only the things I need for that week and I don't buy snacks anymore, I make my own healthy alternatives and buy lots of fruit! At home, its just me trying to lose weight, so it would be asking too much of my family to change their eating habits just for me. MFP helps me plan what I will be eating, so there are less chances of me over eating. I'm due to be home next Tuesday, lets see how well I do staying away from crisps and biscuits!

    Learning that I had to eat more to lose weight. That has made all the difference to me and the people I have pointed to MFP.

    Flexibility - being willing to make the necessary changes to meet the current goal. And, those goals change as I learn more and lose more weight.

    Being redeployed from a job I loved to one where I am very unhappy and thus deciding to take control of my life outside work. It is having the added benefit of making me more confident about tackling the things I hate in the new job!

    Recording everything I put in my mouth and seeing how much things "cost" in terms of calorie dollars. I'm very sensible!

    The one thing that has motivated me is how seriously messed up our concept of a "normal" meal is today. Educating myself on what is right to eat and what is wrong to eat has been the best motivation ever. Cutting out most animal products in favor of micro-nutrients and simple wholesome foods has been the best ever. Not only has my weight improved, but so has my skin and some unattractive skin problems (things like in grown hairs and rashes). I remind myself that our bodies are self healing organisms and that only works when we feed it foods that will support it.

    Also the phrase "Eat to live, don't live to eat."

    This may seem strange but my Droid App Market. It's were I found the MFP App and realized it was totally do-able to count my calories and lose weight while still living my life.

    That is the sole reason I got my smart phone, so I could get the MFP app!

    The realization that when I "cheat" by eating poorly, and not working out, I am only hurting myself. I got tired of SELF-sabotage. I am worth more than I was allowing myself to be. Also someone made a comment months ago something along these lines. "Skinny feels better than food tastes" I'm sure that is not it exactly, but the idea stuck.

    Checking how many calories a meal is BEFORE I eat it. That way I can still eat it, but I portion it accordinly, and if 1/4 cup is all I can have, then I try REALLY hard to stick with that portion, or decide to eat something that is more filling and less calories. I am still working on this though.......

    Finding an exercise that I liked...not what someone tells me I should enjoy or like. I like dancing and Zumba is the only exercise I have ever stuck to. Find what YOU will stick to...(for instance, running was something that I couldn't stick to, no matter how much I wanted to)
