Turning point: My 'aha!' moment was during my junior year of college—I had gone through a bad breakup and had been treating my body horribly.

Weight-loss tip: Make lifestyle changes, don't 'go on a diet.' Diets are temporary and so are the results. If you make permanent changes, you get permanent results.
