    If I can do it, so can you!!

    Battled all of my adult life, but in I lost it in 6 months time in spring/summer of 2010 and
    have kept it off.

    What worked for me?

    -don't focus on the scale, it's just a tool.
    -increase the amount of protein, reduce the amount of simple carbs
    -move! even when you don't feel like exercising, promise yourself at least 10 minutes, then you can tell yourself
    "heck, whats's another 20 min? I mean I'm already doing it, may as well make it really count!"
    -don't beat yourself if you slip up! Own it and move on instead of using 1 slip up as an excuse to blow the whole day, week, etc . .

    Good luck! Just keep on keepin on! Be patient, you WILL reach your goals!
