Keep going when the going is hard and slow...that's patience!

Commit To Doing Something AWESOME

Don't just 'try', instead COMMIT to doing something truly AWESOME.

Eat More Veggies

If there is a secret to weight loss it would be to 'eat more veggies', loads more (and cut down on processed foods). Veggies are high in nutrients and low in calories, plus they fill you up, and if you also include working out hard several times a week, you WILL lose weight.

To see a CHANGE make a CHANGE

Always look for ways to change what you're currently doing if it's sabotaging your weight loss efforts, or look for ways to continue doing the good things you're doing if you know they're helping maintain your weight loss and fitness levels. Just because you don't know how to do something today doesn't mean you'll never know how to do it...just keep looking for new ways to motivate yourself, new ways to move more, new ways to eat better and gradually your search will be rewarded.

Movement Is a Medicine

Use Smaller Plates

Start small: eat off a smaller main entrée (or large salad) plate that’s about 8 to 10 inches, instead of piling food onto a 12-inch dish. This simple switch will lead to the same feelings of satisfaction, but with 22% fewer calories (and probably a few less food comas)! The reason? When the brain sees a large plate with white space surrounding the food, it unconsciously assumes the plate contains less food than a smaller-sized dish with no white space, when in fact, both plates contain the same amount.

There's No Secret To Fitness and Weight Loss

It's amazing how often I see people asking others 'What's your secret?' when they see someone whose lost a significant amount of weight. There is no secret, it's down to plain old fashioned hard work and dedication with a lot of focus, persistence, belief, and a never-give-up attitude thrown in.

Success is Dependent on EFFORT

If you're not seeing the results you want the reason will most likely be that you're not putting in enough effort or the right type of effort. Be honest with yourself about your eating and exercise regime. Where can you make changes? Where can you make improvements? When you increase your efforts you will automatically increase your results.
