    Take measurements and pictures for sure. But I would have started some type of strength training right away as well.

    I'd say I should've made more profiles.

    I'd tell myself to stick with it. I'd probably have a lot more progress if I had.
    I joined in Feb. 2009, but quickly left. Then came back in January 2010, and I've been here ever since.

    Oh, and I'd probably warn myself about certain members on mfp not to add as friends....just to save myself the time of deleting them later.....

    take pictures
    lift weights, because measurements are what matter. It's not helpful to be squishy and skinny and it's hard to work up to muscular from skinny and you look tighter quicker instead of squishier for longer.
    I'd realize that the number MFP gives is greatly under the amount you need to eat to lose weight. I'd rather set my goal to what my TDEE is and eat under it.

    ...I even made a thread hoping some people would learn things I found out to be 'new' to a lot of newbies.

    Progress pictures. Don't have any of me from 1 year ago or 2 years ago.

    I use to take bi-weekly pictures and send them to a friend who was no-nonsense with me and she would be honest with me. But, I fat-fingered the phone number one time and sent to the wrong person.

    This. Take a beginning picture of yourself at least. Day 1 if there are any newbies reading. I didn't, cause I never thought this would work.
