bigbassbrent's Journal, 24 July 2014

The beginning of July marked the end of my major weight loss endeavor. I finished just shy of 50 pounds lost. I am now in the process of achieving the rest of my goals, which are to build more muscle and continue to drop body fat. Over the past month my focus has been shifting away from weight loss and more towards weight training and overall fitness.

I wanted to list the things that I think contributed to me meeting my weight loss goals in hopes that it may help someone else. And please remember, this is what has worked for ME, your mileage will vary. I will post one tip per weekday.

Tip 1 of 25. Do not “diet”. Diets do not work. Change your lifestyle today, forever. Choose to eat healthy and do it. The desire to change your lifestyle needs to come from deep within and be very strong. If you just look in the mirror and think, “gosh I’m fat, I want to change that” but do nothing more than start a “diet”, you will most likely fail. Find what motivates you, (for me it was preventing diabetes) then make the necessary lifestyle changes to reach your goals. Doing this will prolong and improve the quality of your life. You deserve this.

Congratulations on all you have accomplished and much continued success to you. Excellent advice in tip no. 1. I heard or read that about lifestyle change vrs diet many times, until it finally clicked in my head and became a personal thought that I owned. Part of my motivation is also to lower my glucose levels and prevevnt diabetes.

Thanks Brent. Tip #1 should have mileage for anyone who needs to lose. The only thing about it is, you don't really have to change your life to lose weight so much but you do have to do it if you plan to keep it off. The focus on the long term is so important. Keep them up!

Thanks to everyone who has commented so far. I really appreciate the kind words. If it wasn't for all the support and encouragement I receive here, I would probably still be struggling to reach my goal. Thank you all!
