    Congrats!! Any advice for someone new to the site?
    Keep up the success!

    Thank you! My advice would be drink your water, join a group (motivation and support board) and make some MFP friends to keep you accountable (friend me if you'd like), eat enough, exercise, but don't go crazy with it (your diet will be the majority of your weight loss), don't give up, weigh yourself but don't get discouraged with fluctuations, take "before" pictures (I didn't and wish I had), set goals (don't set time limits unless you are in a challenge here on MFP) and rewards for when you meet those goals, if you slip up, get right back on, don't quit, log everything you eat and put it in BEFORE you eat it. Sometimes seeing how a bad food will have an effect on your calories will change your mind, instead of eating first and logging and feeling awful about it. I know I already said this, but drink your water! Aim for half of your body weight in oz (200 lbs=100 oz of water). Get your 8 glasses at a minimum. Hope I helped in the least bit :)
