Support... Looking for tips, friends and stories to help me

Trust and work the program. Practice determination (motivation is fickle at best). Log everything even if it puts you over your goals (we won't judge).

Most importantly this is a training tool to help you develop healthy habits for the rest of your life. It's not a "diet".

Make sure not to push yourself too much. As @Acrosno said, you will follow this for the rest of your life.
Give yourself some time and try choosing healthy food you like eating and enjoy your new lifestyle.

I personally do not like logging my meals. I prefer making it a habit without having to use an app.
I only log my weight every week. that way I have something to look forward to.

Anyways, this is what I usually do. I'm sure someone else might add something more valuable.

Good luck!
