Member's Stick with it TIPS

3 stick-with-it secrets

• Toss the fat clothes “Each time I dropped a size, I’d donate any clothes that were too big to charity. It made my weight loss feel permanent.”
  
• Share your goals “I told the people close to me that I was trying to lose weight. Once they knew, I didn’t want to disappoint them.”
  
• Never stop learning “I’m constantly asking my healthy friends for advice. I follow the tips that work for me so I don’t gain back any of the weight.”

• 
  DON’T DENY YOURSELF “I love ice cream, so I keep low-calorie fudge bars in my freezer for those times when cravings hit.”
  
• CHOOSE WISELY “I cut out ‘empty calorie’ snacks that aren’t filling, like pretzels, bagels, and potato chips. Now I eat baby carrots, sugar snap peas, dried apples, and dried mangoes instead, all of which are lower in calories and packed with filling fiber.”
  
• MEASURE UP “It’s really easy to overeat if you’re just eyeballing portions or grabbing food when you’re on the run, so now I carefully measure and weigh all my meals and snacks.”
