    Are you weighing your food, or using measuring cups? Weigh everything!

    This. I've learned it's really important to weigh and measure food.

    I went to the gym for a year and never lost a pound. I had to log my calories and the weight come off along with my gym.

    Common mistakes & stuff to do:
    • weight all your meals
    • don't over estimate your workout calories
    • eat lean meat & veggies, that way you don't binge feeling hungry
    • stay in caloric deficit consistently over a few weeks. Your weight will fluctuate a lot with water retention.
