Consistency Is Key

Throughout her post, velizabeth3 emphasizes that consistency is the key to her success. She explains how she slowly but surely made lifestyle shifts, such as portion control and limiting sugars, logging her food with MyFitnessPal, and adopting a weightlifting routine. These incremental changes, as it turns out, have helped her develop a sustainable lifestyle that she finds fulfilling.

Mindset Shifts Are as Important as Physical Changes

One of the biggest roadblocks people face in their weight loss journey is their own thoughts. velizabeth3, too, struggled to break down her internal walls in her early days. But as she shed the pounds, she realized that her physical transformation is only half the story.

Start Small and Create New Standards for Yourself

According to velizabeth3, a crucial step to embarking on a successful weight loss journey is to start small. A walk around the neighborhood or a workout video on YouTube 3-4 times a week is a great start, she suggests. Above all, it's vital to establish new standards for yourself and push past your limits. velizabeth3 says that breaking down mental barriers makes the physical changes easier.
