    Don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day. Change your attitude and say tomorrow I will do better and try harder.

    Be honest about what you are eating, and that means knowing how many calories. You might not want to eat less but you should at least know what you are eating.

    My biggest tip? Commit! If you're not ready to work your *kitten* off; if you're not ready to hit the gym 3+ times a week and make healthy nutritional choices, if you've only been doing one and not the other and you're wondering why you haven't been successful, then you NEED to commit to it.

    Personal fitness requires 100% dedication. If you can't give it that much then you're not going to succeed.

    Adding more protein to my diet - keeps me satiated and I don't crave carbs as much.

    For me, I don't weigh every time I go into the bathroom and see the scale! In fact, I put my scale in the basement. Weight can fluctuate according to retaining fluids. I get disheartened when I don't see immediate results, or if I go up a couple pounds. Now, I only weigh at the doctor's office. In fact, I go there every couple of weeks just to weigh. The nurses and receptionists are very willing to let me go back there and weigh myself. That way, I usually see positive results. Good luck to you!

    1. Weigh and measure everything you eat that isn't already premeasured
    2. Log everything little thing you eat
    3. Buy a heart rate monitor to get the best accurate account of the exercise calories you burn per workout
    4. Have a fun exercise DVD at home for those days you can't make it in to the gym or are to lazy to go there.

    Eating for nutrition. Eat the most nutrient dense, low calorie foods you can (green foods, green smoothies, salads) and fill up along with good protein. Feed your body what it needs and you won't be craving junk. Strength train - muscles burn more calories even at rest and muscles take up less space in your body so you look slimmer and high intensity interval training.

    Find activities you enjoy - you'll never keep up doing something you begrudge.

    Treat every day as a new day. If you have a cheat meal don't compound matters by making it a cheat day.

    KEEP GOING! No matter what. If you have a "bad" day, let it go and start again tomorrow.

    Get started. Today.

    It's the single most important thing I wish I had done years ago.

    In case you already have started:

    Modify if you must, but never give up - it's for life.

    Do some form of physical activity. Preferrably every day. In the long run, health is more important than weight. Optimally, both are in harmony and we are rewarded with longer, healthier lives.

    And a Reasonable calorie deficit, not like trying to eat 1200 when more is much more easy to stick to.

    Edit: oh! But don't start again the next day! Start again right now, soon as possible. No end, it's just life, and eating is part of it.
