    Congrats on joining!:smile::happy: :wink:

    Make a plan - eating and exercise. If you are just starting to exercise, take it slow. Find what you can, cannot do. Do something you enjoy. Don't get discouraged when you hit plateaus (no weight loss). That means its time to change your plan - eating and exercise. Also, don't just focus on weight. Remember muscle weighs more than fat so you could be getting slimmer and not be losing weight.

    Remember, this has to be a lifestyle change in order for it to last. Eat healthy and exercise. Don't fall for the fad diets - short term success but you end up putting it all back and more once your off the diet.
