Hi, Kiona - welcome back!

My first tip would be to take a look at the "Most Helpful Posts" in the Getting Started and Health and Weight Loss parts of the MFP Community. Posts there helped me a lot when I was starting out. Here are direct links:

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300331/most-helpful-posts-getting-started-must-reads#latest
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300319/most-helpful-posts-health-and-weight-loss-must-reads#latest

There's a lot there, maybe an overwhelming list to look at, but I chipped away at reading things there starting with the things that were most on my mind. Those are posts by regular MFP users, recommended by other users as "Most Helpful", so very much experience-tested advice.

In general, participating in the Community in other ways helped me, too - both posting and reading other people's posts to get ideas and insights.

Wishing you success!

Hi, Kiona!

How much weight are you looking to lose? Just by looking at the profile picture your weight looks fine to me, though we are only seeing the face.

For me, it is envisioning what I want to look like then making it happen. The mirror can either be your enemy or your friend.
