I am still working on my weight. I used to weight 400 pounds and now I am a cool 155. It's been a lifelong struggle to get to healthy. One question people ask me is, "How did you do it."
I tell them, "Eat less exercise more." Of course it's not that easy. It's finding what works and adjusting to it.
!. I got a dog. Honestly, for me it was key. Not only did I have to walk my dog, but she gets me out of my place and out with people.

Having my sister give me a Fitbit for Christmas. It has been a primary motivating factor, with the caveat that it turned me into a competitive monster, but mostly, I am competing with myself. If I don't do 25000 steps a day I feel like a lazy slacker.
-
Changing my focus from being socially acceptable to improving my health. It became all about getting my type one diabetes in under control.
-
Feeling better and being able to wear fashionable clothes literally for the first time in my life.
-
Setting goals to do fun things.

A few friends who made a commitment to my well being and came to meetings with me and encouraged me.
