    We are going to crush that muffin top starting TODAY! Log in every single day, be honest with yourself. Keep moving. Park your car farther away, use stairs. Is there any foods you know you don't need to be eating that you can eliminate for the time being? Choose foods high in fiber, full of juice, high in protein. Try and limit the refined foods to as few as possible. Smaller portions. Larger portions of fruits and vegetables. Start weighing your food so you know what you are really eating!

    You got this! Lets do it!

    Congrats! Starting something can often be the hardest part..

    I've been here for about 2 weeks and I've loved it! Just remember to log EVERYTHING you eat, all of your condiments, your drinks, they all really add up! If you follow your calorie and exercise goals (or in my case, just my calorie goals :S) you really can't fail!

    Good luck!

    Ofcourse you can add whatever you want...but remeber the only person you are really cheating is yourself....so please, be honest!

    Don't forget to measure yourself and put those in MFP. You will be very glad on those days when you haven't lost, but you are smaller.
