Best advice:
1. Recommit every day.
2. Plan your meals the day before.
3. Eat a large protein breakfast, no carbs.
This works for me. So far. I hope!0 -
What do you do to look as cute as that baby?
LOL
RuthThe single best advice I've heard:
Appearance is a consequence of fitness
If you sit on the couch and eat Doritos all day, chances are you look like you sit on the couch and eat Doritos all day. If you run a few marathons a year, over time you will look like you run a few marathons a year. If you dedicate yourself to becoming a boxer, incidentally over time you will look like a boxer. Train like a gymnast and you will begin to look like a gymnast.
Far too many people want to look like a professional athlete while doing virtually nothing to achieve that goal; there are rare cases where people can fake it, look like they are far more fit than they really are; chances are you aren't that person, don't bother trying to see if you are. Do it the hard way, the right way, and you won't have to wonder why you aren't making progress.0 -
"You are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your way."0
-
"you've already beaten all the spectators"
or my favourite thing to tell myself:
"shut up legs!"0 -
"Just be consistent in all things,,,that is the key!" Thanks, George...I heard you, my friend and I am learning that I agree with you completely...there is much to be said for being consistent!0

From my 20 year old brother, "Eat Lean and Green"0

I use this as a mantra when I'm struggling through a run:
Train INSANE or remain the same.0 -
It took a long time to put the weight on, it's going to take some time to take it off, but you'll get there. Be patient.0

Slow progress is still PROGRESS!! We didnt get fat overnight!!0

bump for later reading0

DEAD LAST
is greater than
DID NOT FINISH
which trumps
DID NOT START.
As long as you try, your winning0 -
It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.0

wreckedredhead60, Thank you for starting this thread! It's one of the most positive and encouraging ones I've seen in awhile.
(Maybe I've been reading the wrong threads... that bit of advice about not reading about eating back exercise calories sounds good, as well as not reading any anything about "why doesn't it work" or whether muscle weighs more than fat, or...)
Although it made me laugh, I think the best advice was to come join this MFP site. Close to that is "It's a lifestyle change." And i might add, eat healthy to live healthy... which is just a compilation of lots of advice, as is "take it one step at a time" or "do better today than you did yesterday".
Good luck everyone! And thanks for sharing the good advice you've heard!0 -
Lift heavy and eat at a moderate calorie deficit.0
-
Eat big - Train big0
-
Listen to your body!0

Listen to your body!
Mine is telling ,me to go eat some cake!0 -
Fat or Carbs dont make you fat, too many calories do.
also get your calories from healthy sources, makes such a huge difference for me.0 -
My favourate bit of advice is;
"Eat less, do more" Simples!0 -
"A year from now you'll be wishing you had started today."
This ^^!! I have tried diets before and I just think if I'd stuck at it I'd be at my goal weight by now!!0
