    How big or small should my goals be? I'm at the heaviest I've been in a long time and hate myself. HELP :(
    :cry:
    The weight isn't the important part don't worry about the number instead just eat good nutritionally dense food, go for walks and (most important of all!!!!) love yourself. Healthy is beautiful no matter what size it is.

    Agree totally make up your menu at least a couple of days ahead ..you are more likely to stick with it.

    Stop focusing on "weight loss" and think about FAT loss. Stay off the scale if it messes with your head. Don't eat too little or do sustained lengthy cardio. LIFT ALL THE HEAVY THINGS.

    Trust yourself to be in control of your life and smile big as often as you can.

    I follow the calorie and protein indicators because on MFP. I tend to miss the minimum, and if I starve myself, I am wasting my time. my ability to burn calories vanishes and I get weak after 2 weeks of too few calories or protein

    Portion control.

    This is the main thing that has helped me, anyway.

    PORTION CONTROL

    This. Things pretty much fell into place after I mastered portion control.

    If you're a female, my biggest tip is weighing ONLY once a week.
    Women tend to retain water and their weights aren't always accurate.
    If you're anything like me I get extremely discouraged seeing the number go up the next day when I've done extremely well with my diet. So once per week.

    WATCH OUT FOR DEPRESSION OR JUST GETTING BORED!!:sad:

    I find that the one and only thing that defeats me is gloomy days or just a gloomy attitude! When I get bored I want to nibble. Do something that gets you going, gets you out of the house or shakes up your routine. Do it quickly before you mess up!!!!!!

    Hold yourself accountable for everything that you do. Whether it be eating, exercising or both......YOU are in charge of YOU.

    Low fat diet and exercise.

    No. Fats are important for hormone regulation, healthy hair and skin, satiety, etc. Fats are good for you. Eat a balanced diet that includes protein, fat, and carbs - all these things are important.

    Lift big heavy things and eat your protein while losing weight so when you get to your goal weight, you're happy with your appearance. Have reasonable expectations. Love yourself.

    Log, log, log everything that goes in your mouth. If you don't the only person you are cheating is yourself!
