    Stop worrying about how other people perceive your body and concentrate on yourself.

    ...and also to start getting familiar with barbells. :)

    Don't compare your weight loss journey with others. Everyone's journey will be different.

    Adjust your nutrition goals and exercise frequency depending on your own results, not by someone else's results.

    Most diets and pre-packaged exercise programs assume "one size fits all," and when you don't get the results that someone else did, you give up and move on to something else. But we have to learn that our bodies will respond different than other people's bodies do, so we have to use personal feedback to find what works for us.

    Eat food that's high in volume and low in calories. Sounded simple enough.

    This was told to me the first week I started WW in 2011. It's stuck with me ever since.

    Well, this is the one i give:

    Live as though the way you look today is the best you will ever look. Flaunt it! -- Because one day you'll be right and if you missed it, it'll be gone forever.

    Honestly, the best advice I've heard is about MFP.

    My brother joined and was tracking just for fun, but he talked about it a lot. I think at that time he lost 5lbs just by logging. After a while I decided I needed to do it too. In the past year I have lost a total of almost 25lbs. Couldn't have done it with out being on here.
