It's all mental and for me a data driven game where the numbers tell the story. Counting calories and logging food is a pain but it forces focus and that drives the better choices. Should I run today at lunch even though I am hungry and the easier thing would be to skip and eat something. Well if I run - I add an additional 500-700 calories to the daily burn and 8-12,000 steps on the Jawbone daily step count. That translates to a better number on the scale in the morning, which translates to a better waist size when looking for the next pair of jeans. Suits that sit in the closet will soon fit and that is less of money number that goes out the door. The next time I need a full blood workup for life insurance results in lower numbers on key health indicators. That translates to lower insurance rates.
Everyone has their motivators - data is mine and technology is really making it easier to lose based on numbers.

I LOVE that attitude! It's about finding whatever motivates each and every one of us to commit to a lifestyle change, not just another "diet". I LOVE the financial perspective you put on it as well...each of us (left-brained or not) can appreciate that!

I have an UP band as well and it's been a great motivator. While a lot of people may disagree with my methods, I weigh myself in the morning and at night to see the fluctuations and hopefully better understand the ups and downs in relation to what I eat and what I do. I'm also very data driven.
