Celebrating the sustainable active lifestyle that’s based around your preferences.
Take it one step at a time, focus less on the term weightloss and more of it's a health journey that has benefits not just physically but emotionally and mentally.
Take charge of your journey. Get yourself a team. Surround yourself with task, jobs, and friends that keep you active. I have a nutritionist, a body building coach, orange theory membership, a power lifting friend, and another buddy who likes to workout who all keep me going and accountable. My workout buddies look to me for inspiration and my coaches hold me accountable
Be your own strongest advocate. If you think something isn’t working or wrong don’t take no for an answer. You know your body best. Also it’s okay to take it slowly. Doing all the changes at once can lead to injury or failure. Break it off into small bits of change instead of changing all your habits and patterns at once for a better chance of success.
Do not compare your journey to anyone else's. We are all different. Our internal and external environments make each of our journeys unique. Focus on your mindset along with your health, wellness and lifestyle. This is a lifelong journey!

Allow yourself grace and space. Grace to not always get it right and to forgive yourself if you don't do everything perfectly. Space to acknowledge that this journey is not a race, it is a marathon that you must carve out your on pace and rhythm.
Never give up. This journey is not linear. Bad moments will happen. The best thing we can do is try not to let them compound to make bad days.
Don’t try to do it all at once… that’s a fast track to failure. But also, don’t be scared to fail!! The most successful people had to learn how to fail, first. Fail forward! Learn. Adapt. Grow. And make time for things that make you happy. Life is way too short.
This is how you make the weight loss process unique to you. It’s also kinda fun.
