I haven't read the entire thread. But, I believe the most significant factor for all of us who have made it, ("made it" meaning: losing XXX pounds) is we finally reach a point of being totally feedup with being overweight. Once you truly reach that point you become mentally "steeled" and will do anything/everything to win the weight loss gain. There have been hundreds of posters with the initial "want" to lose weight. They eventually give up. But at some point we develop a "f*** this" I can and will do this. Good luck developing the "want to lose at all cost mentallitiy"
You are exactly right or at least in my experience. I can't / won't loose any weight until I get totally fed up with myself then I can & will do something about it.
