It's easier to lose weight when you are not stressed or worried or obsessed about losing it. Better forget it for a while and enjoy life and find peace and balance and harmony. When you love your life, its easier to eat in balance and enjoy it.

Time on the Elliptical flies by!

I find that if I just hop on the elliptical I focus too much on the timer and how many calories I am burning. Therefore, the workout feels like an eternity. So to distract myself, I put on a movie from netflix and cover up the time with a towel. Before I know it I am halfway through the movie!

MORE INFORMATION:
I usually watch comedies because they are funny and since I am happy I work out harder. :)

Use your trackers to look for patterns

After working on weight loss for a while, I finally realized that if I looked at my nutrition tracker and my activity trackers for the weeks when I had good weight losses, it was easy to find out what I did that really worked. I have found my personal plan for weight loss from doing this--and I have 9 weeks of consistent weight loss from following it. 244

MORE INFORMATION:
386 This plan will look different for each of us--there are a couple of things in my plan that other people in my family don't much care for, but I am happy and it works for me. I also have night time eating in mine because I am happy having a night snack and it is part of my pattern. 381
