Losing weight - what is the worst thing you can do?

[Janet]

When it comes to losing weight, aside from giving up, what do you think is the worst thing you can do to prevent you from reaching your goal? I would have to say that not exercising is the worst thing you can do. Anyone else have any opinions to add?

That's a good one, jandemiller. That is one of the worst things you can do. If you try to alter your lifestyle too drastically you won't be able to stick to it.

Eating more calories than you burn and eating before bed. Ok, that's two worst things, but I think of them as both equally bad

Comparing your progress to someone else's is always a bad idea. You need to work on reaching a healthy BMI, not try to look like a model or your best friend who may not even have the same shape as you.

Not drinking enough water.
