What's Your Best Weight (Really)?

Kind Nerd Note: The science is clear: people who like how they're living while losing weight are the ones who keep it off. Enjoyment is part of the reward for doing the work.
Tip #1:
Best Weight, Dr. Yoni Freedhoff
Your best weight is whatever weight you reach when you're living the healthiest life you actually enjoy.
Dr. Yoni Freedhoff is a renowned obesity medicine doctor, and this definition is one I've fully adopted with my own clients.
The key insight: long-term weight loss success isn't about suffering through the healthiest life you can tolerate. It's about building the healthiest life you can enjoy.
There will come a point where you can't happily eat less or happily move more. That weight? That's your best weight. And it's enough.
Tip #2:
Quote: Dr. Yoni Freedhoff
“Plenty of people are taught that the magic bullet of weight loss is to simply ‘eat less and move more.’ Worse, many people believe that exercise, an incredibly enjoyable and healthful behavior, must be taken to unenjoyable extremes if weight is a concern.”
