I find keeping a food log really helpful.

    Riding my bike every day
  • Just being consistent with diet and exercise. Once I stop I just gain it back again..

    I work on lot on my laptop late at night in the kitchen. I have moved to a different room to avoid late night snacking. Out of site, out of mind!

    Accountability. To myself, to my friends, to my family... And a good set of before and during photos to look back on.

    The time I lost the most weight...it was forcing myself to make the food I ate. Some days i was just too lazy to cook.

    This, entirely. Smaller portions, cutting fast food, dropping soda, no more potato chip binges or goldfish cracker nom-parties. And it's working, which is enough motivation for me to keep it up and to keep flipping off that Jumbo Cupcake in the fridge instead of introducing it to my face.
  • Consistency. If you decide to chill out one day and not go to the gym, then make sure you go the next day and not take more than 2 days of relaxation a week. Also, If you cheat on your diet, make sure you don't again for the rest of the week. I always allow one day out of the week to go off my diet... but when I say "go off my diet" I mean to still have a deficit in my caloric intake, but maybe I'll have a desert with dinner, or to have a dinner that is, no more than, 200cal over my norm: always trying my best to choose healthier foods, even when I cheat... so if I have a desert, it would be a piece of dark chocolate, or strawberries with sugar.
