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.
