    Feel free to add me, I have about 70kg to lose to get to my ultimate goal, though I'd probably be pretty happy to lose 50 - 60

    I dropped 110lb's a while back.

    Just some random advice while I'm trying to tire myself before bed.
    - Set to 2lb's a week.
    - Drink alot of water. Thats your new favorite drink
    - Exercise is always welcomed 30-60 minutes a day
    - Going over on protein is perfectly fine. MFP default is pretty low tbh.
    - Going over on Carbs isn't fine
    - Fats aren't that bad in the long run.
    - Planning food a day ahead gives you a good head start.
    - Don't cut out foods you like. Don't make it a punishment. The key about losing weight is self control.
    - Drink alot of water. Can't stress that enough.
    - Take a Probiotic and make sure you get enough fiber.
    - Don't worry about getting crazy with watching sugars and such early on. Focus on the basics follow your macro's.
    - You don't want to lose 100lb's you want to lose 10lbs then another 10lbs. Make the goals easy and never look at it as huge challenge the more of mountain you make it feel like the more you'll want to quit. 100lbs can be an overall goal but make 5-10lbs the direct goal. Always have something in reach its not a race just pace yourself.
    - Have fun, don't feel like you can't go out with friends and hide in a corner and eat just rice cakes. 1 bad night/meal won't ruin everything. The biggest mistake I see here is someone has a bad day and over reacts and ends up getting into a relapse and giving up.
    - When you get closer to your overall goal start to slow down the weight loss. The goal is to be able to maintain when you lose the weight.

    Have Fun =)

    Couldn't agree more!!! Water, water, water water.... one day, one meal, isn't gonna hurt you.... it wasn't one meal that made you fat... it was a lifestyle. Someone a lot smarter than me said, "It's not the 'how' you lose weight... the science is the easy part. The WHY you lose weight is the hard part." That takes some real courage to look at WHY you're overweight and WHY you have the eating habits that you do. Once you figure that out, it'll get easier, I PROMISE!!! Good luck and feel free to add me.

    CHEERS!! - Mark

    please add me, I see this as a mental change as much as a physical one, we all need to motivate eachother and support eachother.... "fall down 7 times get up 8 times"
