    yep! If you constantly tell yourself it's a diet, it seems harder to focus and really reach your goals... So to me, i say its a lifestyle chage... This is the way i want to contiue to be and make eating healthy and exercise a part of my everyday life... not just for "2 weeks' or so :)

    Yeah that's how I see it too! Like the changes you are making now are going to be the things that help you start thinking smarter about what you eat and what you do with the energy you intake. Not only making you a smarter eater but a healthier person too.
    I'm also new here and am hoping to change my old bad habits into healthier more motivational ones. I'm pretty sure we can help support each other :D

    That's what I think too. I refuse to go back to my old ways. I am so much healther, stronger, and even happier.

    I think changing a lifestyle I never really cared about has been, and is going to be my biggest challenge... but I'm really ready to take this on full force...I've started exercising and thats been great. My hardest thing is FOOD! I;m so busy so i always eat on the run and when it comes to cooking i just dont have any healthy recipes.... But like you said, I'm going to make my self get on here everyday and see the progress of others, find new ideas, and i even have this app on my phone so anytime i et something im going to make sure to record it and not go over my calories each day!!! I'm excited that this is finally going to be what i need to not only get me going, but keep me motivated!

    BTW, do you have a pinterest account? I have some really great fitness tips on profile.

    That's the way I see it, as well. This is my journey to a healthier lifestyle! That's what I like to say. Feel free to add me, if you wish. I need as much support and motivation as I can get! :smile:

    I've been eating right for about 12 years now. When I first learned how to eat, I lost about 25 lbs. And kept it off (til a few crept on with hormonal changes). I always told people (and still do): I'm on a low crap diet. :smile:

    Thats how I see it too. For I want this to be permanent thing and when I diet the weight always comes back.

    Love this thread. The mother in law would ask me on a nearly constant basis, `Hows your diet going?' in an almost condescending way. I would constantly retort that mine was a lifestyle chance which it has been.

    Every family member: "How's your diet going?"
    "Thought you couldn't eat that on a diet."

    Facepalm.

    When people ask about a diet, or even worse suggest some new plan or product, I just tell them I don't want to be doing anything right now that I won't be doing 10 years from now.
