Thanks much to everyone who answered the first poll. The results are surprising, I'll sum them up when the poll is finished. Now for the second poll, I'm wondering if most people share the same habit in terms of what is keeping them from losing weight faster.
If you were to state only one habit that was MOST responsible for you not being able to reach your goal weight, what would it be?
It will be interesting to see whether a couple of habits really stand out with the majority of readers. Please consider your answer to be as honest as possible.
(Don't worry about the reasons why you have this habit, we can go into this later.)
I'm leaving this poll open for just six days. The poster above is Kitchen - cupboard.
Ayres topped the scales at 550 pounds not too long ago. It was in early 2006 that he started a drastic program to lose weight. What finally motivated him to do it was that he started losing his vision due to diabetes. This really frightened him and got him motivated in a big way. A year and a half later, he was down to 225 pounds. That's an amazing weight loss of 325 pounds!
The New York Times has a perplexing but interesting story today about how a study showed that women (hotel maids) lost weight and decreased their blood pressure without increasing their daily exercise but by just being more mindful that they were getting some exercise.
