To better explain my question, I believe most of weight loss is mental, so it requires a big change in your day-to-day thinking to be and stay successful. When I'm doing well, I am much more positive in just about everything, even little thoughts. I can stock my house to the rafters with healthy foods, but if I'm in a negative state of mind, I will drive to get something bad. I always like to hear the thinking behind the tips that helped people achieve success. You've obviously made a permanent shift, and I'm curious what some of the changes were.

cindy-well i had to and still do alot of self-talk and tell myself i am worth it and i deserve it and i can do this. sometimes when i am working out i make little challenges for myself and i tell myself this isnt so hard, whats 5 minutes in the scheme of things? whats 1 hour in my day? more recently i have made a list of challenges and goals for myself and i update and check them off when i complete them. i have made a list of reasons of why i want to get fit. i made a list of affirmations that are of the present tense (even though they might not have occurred). i stop myself when i see that i am comparing myself from others because to "compare is to dispair" and i remind myself that the only one i have to and want to compete against is myself. so, i guess what has helped me the most is to not be a harsh critic and to be a good self-talker if that makes sense. let me know if that doesnt answer your question.

That's fantastic, thanks! I think it helps so much to hear those things as well as the usual tips about diet and exercise. Since you've done so well, you're a great person to ask! I often have to remind myself to do these types of things and still have a way to go.

cindy-thank you for making me "think" of those things. it is so true that the mental part of the dieting and exercising is a big key to the weight loss. i still have have many more goals i want to achieve and alot i need to work on in terms of firming my body too! keep up your great work as well. i need to remind myself often as i did today in the gym to keep pushing-i have to be my own motivator and be on my side and not work against myself b/c i can easily be the harshest critic!

dreama-thanks-i appreciate it. you have been inspiring as well!!

hiya Jen,
Your story has really motivated me to loose weight. i had lost 2 stones last year but then i put it back on again this year. i just started exercising again last week and was eating fruit and veg and was exercising 40 mins to an hour a day and lost two kilos, but then i started to become less motivated again. reading your story has really inspired me to keep at the exercising and healthy eating.
Thanks, and congrats on achieving your goal.

Wonderful tips, Jennifer! I started eating my kids Halloween candy in October and then eating even more poorly over the holidays...bottom line, I ended up gaining back the ten pounds that I had lost last year. Your blog has inspired me to get back on the wagon!

hi sarah- i am glad i motivated you. whats amazing is that you haven'T given up. we all could lose weight but the fact that you put it back on and are trying once again to take it off shows that you are strong and that you are a fighter. i am glad i inspired you. people like you inspire me to keep going as well.

spkye-yes, it can be done. i never thought id have to say "i lost 100 pounds" b/c i never thought id get that fat and i never thought being that fat that i actually would be able to take it off. it can be done. i still have a long way to go. i know i keep saying that-i have to keep reminding myself of that even though i have come far (i have to keep hearing that too). you can do it too. it is hard work but you are worth it. remind yourself of that!!

elizabeth-glad you liked the tips. ughh-halloween candy. i look at it and can gain weight! so happy you are back on the wagon again! keep it up!!!!

WE ARE ALL WORTH IT! WE ALL DESERVE TO BE HEALTHY AND GOOD TO OURSELVES! KEEP FIGHTING!! DON'T GIVE UP!
