Whether you are feeling discouraged or good about your progress, I think it is a great idea to periodically re-read the sections of your profile where you outlined the reasons you want to get in shape, and your inspirations.
Doing this will help to re-invigorate you with determination to see this journey through. If you have Christ in your life, remember that He will finish any work He starts in you, as long as you are faithful to Him. Remember that we are all works-in-progress and change doesn't come immediately. Celebrate the milestones you reach and notice how far you have come since you started0 -
Log EVERYTHING.. even if that means it's over the caloric daily intake. You wont die and it'll really open your eyes..
Also, don't try the cinnamon challenge.. you'll taste cinnamon in the back of your throat for about half a week.0 -
This is your journey not anyone elses so don't let other people's criticisms or opinions get in the way of what works for you.0

My advice to you would to track whatever you eat, good or bad, and make sure that you enter it in your MFP. Just be honest with what you eat. Sometimes if you overeat, you may choose to not enter it. I enter every single thing I eat. I think this is helpful.0

Buy a food scale. You're probably underestimating what you're actually eating.
Ditto!0 -

You can't truly change your body by getting on the elliptical and reading US Weekly for 20 minutes a day, 3 days a week. Get thin, but get FIT and athletic while doing so.0

Don't start out at 1200 calories...eat more so that you can lower as you go. When you start out on a VLCD there aren't many options to lose the last few pounds.0
