    You just have to find something that works for you. Every single person on this site could probably give you different advise on how to lose weight. It took a lot of experimentation, trying foods I didn't think I'd like, weighing in, and time to find a weight loss plan that I can actually stick to and lose weight.
    For me, what worked, (which I already know is going to contradict what some people have already said), was to make small changes starting with what I ate for lunch at work. I switched from TV dinners to salads, and lost five pounds. Then I started weighing myself everyday (good for me, bad for others) Next was being more mindful of what I have for dinner, or breakfast. Right now I'm working on improving my diet over the weekends, bringing it down to one cheat meal instead of a two day long extravaganza. I'm just slowly improving my personal diet and exercise habits.
    The other thing that I had to understand when I started was that it's not going to happen in 2 weeks. I've got about 45 lbs to go. So far I've lost 22 and its taken me 8 months to do it. Sometimes it's a slow process, but I'd prefer it be slow rather than looking back and thinking, "Wow, if I would have kept going when I said I would, I'd be done by now."

    You are not alone my friend! I also put photos up, and now that I know Fitbit syncs with MyFitnessPal....let's just say - B) Oh yeah! This has helped me workout more and track what I've eaten all day and throughout the day. I even got other people involved at work to motivate me. So now I leave my desk on purpose to track more steps. I hope this helps, and always log your food diary. Hope to befriend you on here for more motivation! - Nicole :)
