If you could give only one tip.....

You can never out-exercise the bad diet, eat healthy

ruggedBear

Failure is not an option unless you allow it. Don't give yourself the choice.
Eat what you like and pay for it in the gym if you have to. Calories and macros are a budget, and you have to spend wisely.
Quit reading the forums and get moving NOW!

OK - that was more than one - sorry!

SLEEP

If you are not getting enough sleep, your weight-loss will journey will be slower than it has to be.

Believe that there are better things in store for you, in every area of your life. Don't let self-defeat thinking get in the way of getting everything you deserve for yourself.
Whenever I am at my most depressed, and beating up on myself, I find that is when I'm most likely to give up.

Don't obsess over everything... this will drain you (that's what always happens to me). if you do slip up once in a while, make a mental note of how the bad food made you feel.... the helps you say no next time. Also, stick to water most of the time. And most importantly, eat REAL healthy foods, not prepackaged onces.... that has been a game changer for me - no more lean cuisine/smart ones meals for me... just natural healthy foods that I cook myself.

You'll have MORE regret about eating those 'extras' like dessert and chocolate and snacks etc, than about NOT eating those extras.

If you want to be LEAN, you HAVE to use weights.

Just cardio doesn't do it.

Good luck

This. Start slow. Walk if you can't jog. Eat frequently. No fast food. No sat fats.

eat less (portion control) no late night snacking ,move more excercise as well...drinks lots of water ,get a nice hrm dont rely on the machines in the gym accuracy ,find out works for you as far how many cals you should consume daily ,take one day @ a time.

And do it for you make a lifestyle change & form good habits with eating ,face your relationship with eating realizing we dont eat to fill the void of bieng unhappy we eat to live.
