Don't focus on the whole amount you have to lose, just take it 10 or even 5 pounds at a time. Those smaller amounts will eventually add up to something huge!

The quote I live by now a days is:
"When you want what you’ve never had, you must do what you’ve never done."

Every time I feel like giving up, like there's no hope and I'm going to be like this the rest of my life, I say this to myself.

That and "Feeling happy, confident, and healthy is 10x better than any Dunkin' Donut!"

Make a commitment to remain on plan for one year and stick to it no matter what the scale says.

I would say be honest with yourself, when we are many things will reveal themselves or fall into place. :)

Persevere.

Do it or don't do it, there is no "try"

Weight loss is a long journey, the only way you will fail is if you quit trying

Pick a plan that is sustainable, its great if you lose a bunch of weight quickly, but if you cant sustain whatever you are doing to lose, at best, you will stall, and at worst, you will gain it all back or more

I just read through all of these, and it's actually quite moving.

When you need to lose 100 lbs, losing just half that amount will change your life for the better by a lot!

Plan, plan and plan some more.

Realize that by taking control of your health, you are loving yourself not punishing yourself.

Losing weight, large amounts of weight, is possible!

love it!
