    If you were pressed to offer just ONE PIECE OF ADVICE to someone seeking to lose weight, what would it be?

    Don't cheat! Just ONE PIECE OF ADVICE per post.

    Here's mine: if you drink alcohol or fruit juice, cut it down to one glass per week. :smile:

    there are no shortcuts or 'easy' weight loss tricks or 'diets'... it has to be a lifestyle change.

    track EVERYTHING, because EVERYTHING matters, weights you lift, weight everyday, hydration everyday, and of course what you eat including macros EVERY SINGLE DAY!

    The food you eat makes up 80% of your physique. Don't go on a 'diet', just change the way you eat for good by following a sensible eating plan.

    Since everyone has offered up a lot of great advice I can't think of much more to add.

    Mine would be.....if you stumble along your way, don't get discouraged, get more focused.

    It's not weight related but, whenever you're in front of the mirror tell yourself you're beautiful. I know it sounds silly, I find it embarrassingbut it helps with insecurities:) You will start to believe it, trust me.

    Be happy with "who" you are so that the process of becoming "what" you want to be is achievable. Changing the number on the scale won't change whether you like who you are (voice of experience here)

    If you fall, pick yourself up - you don't have to stay down.

    That's what I was going to say. No matter how bad of a day you have, tomorrow is a new day! You don't have to give up just because you had a bad meal, or a bad day. Or even a bad week.

    If you really want this then don't ever lie to yourself. Take that urge and send it packing.

    I haven't seen this one yet, so my advice:

    K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, stupid)

    I might substitute in a nicer word for 'stupid'.

    Ounce by Ounce, Pound by Pound each drop of sweat is your efforts to change. You did not get the way you are overnight nor will you get the way you want to be overnight.

    It has to be all about you, you won't succeed if you are trying to please someone else.
