If you have an android or apple phone, download the app! Track everything!!! Take one thing at a time. Something I have just learned myself: Don't focus on the # (weight) focus on being healthy (staying under cals) and exercising and the weight will come off. Add me as a friend if you like!!

the best advice i can give is when you go to the gym, don't pay attention to what other people are doing. when i first started, i used to look at other people's machines and be like "ugh, i probably look like such a loser since i can't go as fast as them" or whatever, but as i've been working out and getting stronger, i'm now one of those people, which is FANTASTIC.
another thing is don't let one bad day throw you off. sure you might have one bad day where you drop the ball a little, but instead of punishing yourself by giving up, punish yourself at the gym.
one last thing, is use the MFP community. we're all here for you, so add as many people as you can as friends and i promise the love will be spread around and make you feel so great hope this helps!!
