my vote is for sleep and 3FC, when im tired i still eat well but make excuses not to exercise, and knowing i can log on here insted of feeling alone is priceless. also having no car is helping because i have to walk everywhere lol
Honestly, aside from sleep and having a membership at a great gym within a few miles of my home....
I would not be able to lose weight without being SINGLE! When I start dating someone prior to reaching my goal and or if I don't have a considerable amount of maintenence time under my belt, I lose momentum. I'll spend less time at the gym, I'll eat poorly when out on a date, etc. And when a guy finds me attractive I'll slowly, but surely, say to myself, "I'm good where I am. I don't have to lose any more. This guy likes me as-is so I might as well have fun!".
So, yeah -- I wouldn't be successful, at least in the beginning, if I was hooked up! :-) It's a good thing I love my own company! And this time, I know I need to do this for MYSELF and keep doing it for MYSELF.
I started using this even before I was trying to lose weight to increase my consumption of veg and fruit and logged both my intake and exercise on it through my entire weight loss. Interestingly I stopped logging 5 months ago and haven't dropped a single pound since!
It's what gives me the "heads-up" that high-carb eating spikes my blood sugar when I begin being complacent about carb-creep and whine to myself "I'm only PRE-diabetic... I can have a whole soft pretzel. It's still within my calories!"
(And by "heads-up" I really mean "clue-by-four" upside the head!)
The belief that losing weight without surgery or pills really is possible. For many years I thought that losing large amounts of weight and keeping it off was simply not possible. But it is!!
I've lost weight with/without everything I have now. I've lost weight with no gym, no 3FC, with Weight Watchers and without. I'm not sure. Right now I adore the my fitness pal app on my phone. It makes my life soooo much easier. Although I haven't lost an ounce in 2 weeks and I have no idea WHY, but that's neither here nor there. :P
