Hello everyone. My name is Tysle. I am here trying to get motivated to lose 10- 15 lbs. That may not sound like much to some but it is a lot for me. I really need motivation and encouragement to get me jump started. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Weigh your food so you know what your consumed calories, always suprised people.

    Yes as above, weigh your portions. I was eating almost twice as much cereal as I thought I was, oops! I took photos too of myself to compare over the weeks. Like yourself in trying to lose about 12 lbs. I started at 145 and it may not seem heavy to some but I was 112 lbs back when I was 30 so for me it's a big gain.
