http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Lose-100-Pounds-and-Keep-it-Off-For-Life/

There are some things you need to consider before you begin any weight loss journey that is as big as ours.

-It will not be comfortable. You spent at least the last few years being comfortable and if you want to lose weight, you're going to have to switch up your routine. You will step WAY out of your comfort zone. You are changing your life and the way you treat your body.

-It will not be an overnight change. There is a reason that people say "weight loss JOURNEY". This is something that takes time, like anything else that's worth doing. It may be years before you reach your ultimate goals. You will have to remember along the way to celebrate the smaller milestones. Dropping a pants size, going up a resistance level on the elliptical, having a friend notice a difference, even just feeling better about yourself are all great reasons to celebrate.

-There will be temptation. The world will not stop because you are losing weight. Every restaurant you love is still open and the food still tastes amazing. Work is still stressful. Lounging is still easier than working out. The people you hang out with are still not making healthy choices. The only thing that's changing is you.

-Your goal needs to be healthy and realistic. A woman who has 100 or more pounds to lose should not strive to look like their favorite celebrity. Likewise a man in the same situation should not expect to look like the guy on the cover of a muscle magazine. Your primary goal should be health. Any physical changes should be completely secondary. Make sure to make your goal weight something within the healthy BMI range. We will talk about realistic time frames in the next step.

You need to ask yourself if you're willing to accept these facts. if you're not, you may not be ready. You will have to go into this thing willing to make changes, withstand temptation, and accept any setbacks or mistakes.

If you are going to do this, the first thing I suggest is to make a point of mentioning it to everyone you know. Tell them what you're doing and what your goal is so that you get asked about your progress constantly. Post it on your Facebook and Twitter. Don't give yourself a chance to cop out. Put it into your head that this is starting and there's no backing down.

Next up, let's talk basics!

This is very true! I have been at it for 3 years now and still don't look like I think I should. My booty is full of cellulite, I have yet to find my abs....there is a tiny hint of them there, but alas.....Our biggest problem is our diet. We still eat a lot of junk. We work out 7 days a week, well....not always but we are doing a weightlifting program and on our off days we are doing Krav. I range between 116 and 120 but I am looking for more muscle tone. So I trudge on...lol!
