    Every day is a new day. Just start over, day after day. LOG EVERYTHING, including your cheats. Sometimes seeing the calorie numbers in front of your face is a wake-up call. Push yourself to log as accurately as possible until it becomes a daily habit. Just keep on keepin' on. We all fall off the wagon, often. What matters is how many times you're willing to climb back on. ALWAYS get back on!

    I agree with @Equus5374 Writing down what you eat daily helps, also i say find an exercise program that is fun for you. SOmething that make you look forward to it.

    I'm no expert but in my opinion what you eat makes more of a difference than the exercise. Don't get me wrong you have to exercise but I have found that no matter how much I work out if my diet is not on point I don't lose. Just my opinion
