    I just posted this in another thread, im feeling lazy so I will copy and paste. lol

    Welcome aboard. I hope you enjoy your stay. Just one word of advice. This is a war, not a battle. Every person who has attempted to lose weight has some bad days where they dont make their daily goals. Just remember, the difference between success and failure is the ability to pick yourself up the next day.

    20 lbs in a little over a month seems a bit ambitious. Is there a reason you need to do it before then? This site isn't meant for a quick fix, but more for a lifestyle change. If you don't have that mindset, you will succeed but keep coming back when the weight comes back!

    As for tips- just make sure you log EVERYTHING! My biggest mistake is not measuring out what I eat. Every little bit counts, so make sure to log it. Plus you'll need to do some exercise- ANY exercise! Get that rump movin'! LOL!

    Anyway, welcome!
