welcome to MFP!

Here are some tips:
- Be realistic about your goals
- Don't get down on yourself when you mess up, it will happen and it happens to everyone, the important thing is to be honest with yourself and get back on track
- Some days will be harder than others, just try and be consistent, it makes things easier
- If you don't know, ask, there are lots of friendly and helpful people here on MFP
- Adding friends is helpful, they will cheer you on and are always pulling for you, add as many as you like

definitely agree with the above poster, also don;t forgot to log your food. it's amazing how much you eat "by accident" such as when you're grating cheese and eat some while grating for example - all those calories add up if you do it all the time (I know I'm terrible for it)
