How We Do It!
FamilyHost_Annabelle - June 23, 2009
This is what works:

1- MOVE around every day, even if it's a 10 minute walk. Start slowly. This isn't a race, it's a way of life.
2 - ASK your doctor for a sensible food plan. He may recommend one of the famous ones. That's fine. Just stick to it. Don't let anyone or anything stand in your way. You deserve that!
3 - START your own food diary in our Topics. Write down your food every day and submit it. It will show you what works and what doesn't, and it will give us a chance to give you encouragement and feedback.
4 - DON'T eat when things are tough. VENT instead. That's one of the many reasons why we're in this fight together. We'll listen and sympathize. The food won't.
5 - DON'T worry about tomorrow. Just keep your feet firmly planted in today and think about how you're going to use the day to be a healthier person.
6 - JOIN the challenges - "Lose A Whole Person" Challenge and Our Weight Loss Tally. Join in and share your successes with us!
7 - FIND a weight loss buddy. Read through the topics and find a friend to buddy up with. Doing anything is easier when you have company!

Good luck, and remember, you only have to do this today!

Feel free to add your own helpful hints to the list!

Commit to sticking to your plan. Don't expect to not mess up. The key is returning to your plan after you mess up, accept that its OK to not be perfect, and then keep focused on your plan. You can do it. Perseverance is the key.
