Since I wrote my list I am now down 42lbs I would add 1 more which is 11. Not all calories are equal. Fruits, Veg, Lean proteins are your best friends!!! Watch the potatoes and avocados.

Very helpful replies everyone. Will consider all advice with great care!

Well since writing thisbhave done more reading and figured out that I am mostly an endomorph. This means I need to bias fat over carbs due to the way we stocky types deal with glucose. As such I believe my macros need to be something like 40 protein / 20 carbs and 40 fat Does anyone disagree? I am guessing this will be…

Great advice man - lots of good advice here On clean eating, you are right about rough definitions. I guess some process foods are fine and I would agree prioritizing my macro needs seems more important to me.

Thank you all for the advice so far

Well as of late I have been out of commission due to over training injury on my inside right knee. So annoying! But at least I can do my 5x5s and intervals on the elliptical.

I actually thought it was right on. Bottom line is my list is very human and we make mistakes. But why fail? Why not win? And if you fail, then stop failing and start winning again and be okay with a little regret. I am on day 64 or something and I took Skyle's advice to heart. These top 10 mistakes aren't reasons to fail.…

This is what I was hoping someone would say. I ran my first 9K today (working each week up to 10k) but my knees and Lower back hurt a bit.

Natalie same! I am not giving up or giving in. On a roll and down 14lbs, about 20 more to go. This time want it to be for good, so just looking at these habits as permanent.

Papercut2k - when you say no - do you not get an amazing sense of control - you are in control, not them, not the sweets, but you?

I like the cog therapy idea - good post

Looking back at my list tonight and realized I made 1 of the mistakes today. I slipped on eating something I shouldn't and am over. Feeling frustrated.

Again thank you all for the amazing advice.

Awesome replies so far. Giving me a lot to think about. Thank you to everyone for your thoughtful responses.

Thanks!!!

For me allowing myself to have bad days and thinking I am going to be being self forgiving, is a slippery slope. But as mentioned if it does happen the worst thing you can do is get into the rut of "well I guess I am eating bad again now so I will just keep doing that, I will restart my diet at some point in the future".

Hmm can't really say I thought about doing that - but plenty of other silly things!

Also please add me folks - need encouragement like everyone!

Great ideas guys ... so what else?

Skyle - your advice has stuck with me. I really liked the tough love. Thanks man! I am making headway.

Thanks everyone for the great replies.

Thank you everyone for the great replies Seems like both is the clear answer!!

Damn I feel hungry now - but it's a good hungry

I love eggs too. I read on one of those lists - eggs are the healthiest or most nutritional foods you can eat.

Guinness is a great option for a lower calorie beer.

I am determined to not give in this time after hundreds of false starts

Thanks but I don't know how to add - feel free to add me though
