    Start with just coming every day for 30 days and logging your meals. That is the hardest part for a lot of people, to stay focused and consistent. If you can do that you are well on your way.

    Hey there! I agree with kshatriyo, you gotta get in the habit of logging and it becomes a way to really keep up! Add me if you like - I am always looking for additional support as well.

    Right now just be sure to log every day. Congratulate yourself on anything you do right and try not to worry about what you do "wrong". Just the fact that you are trying to change shows that you have what you need to change your lifestyle.

    The hardest part for me was to start logging in all of my food intake daily, not the working out - I actually had to adjust my carb intake WAY down, which was keeping me from dropping pounds. Logging your meals into this site, water included, is a really good start. You can go from there and tweak everything as needed, but to see where your totals end up (fat, cholesterol, carbs, sugar) is a really nice tool to help out getting started. I try my best to keep down on starches, carbs and sugars, especially soda). I also agree with JohnnyAtomic - concentrate on what you do right, even little things, which can go a long way in keeping up motivation.

    Also: this needs to be a complete lifestyle change, NOT just a diet, and to keep the weight off it has to be permanent, NOT just a new year's resolution. These were mistakes I was making for years in my life, but only corrected recently.

    This is EXACTLY the attitude to have!
    Don't stress the bad days- We all have em and anyone that's says they don't is full of it!
    You,ve made the biggest step, actually starting!
    GOOD LUCK x
