Re: Milo\'s Weight Loss Prop Bet: One Month Update...

Great work. I just started a new diet/exercise plan a week ago. I lost 5 pounds of my 40 pound goal (!), but I only got to the gym twice because I got sick.
My problem isn't starting these things, it's maintaining them for a long period of time. Hopefully I'll do better this time.

Losing weight is easy, just don't eat as much. Getting fit and healthy is hard, because you have to change your life. All diets work, but 90% of them fail in the long run, because people eventually go off the diet and get fat again. I have been advising patients on weight loss for years while remaining fat myself (just like Dr. Phil!), because I was not ready to commit to change.
Set goals. Include rewards and punishments. Get a buddy who will encourage you when you need encouragement, and humiliate you if you fail.
