    Hi Morgan welcome to the site, feel free to add me if you like. The biggest tip I can say is stick with it and track everything to keep yourself honest. I also find that a varied routinee and working out everyday helps get you to see results fast. I wish you all the best in your weight loss journey

    Hello, Morgan! I too am new, so please add me as a friend if you wish. My personal trainer made it very clear...Eat breakfast within 2 hours of waking up, it jump starts your metabolism. 400 cals. is a good number!

    Welcome! There's lots to learn by perusing the message boards. If you're a redditor, I'd also recommend r/loseit. It's a great community, really supportive.

    Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hello to all ! I am new to the site as well. My Manager told me about it on Sat after I complained to her that I had just sewn a beautiful skirt and when I tired it on my "belly was just out of control" making the skirt tight for me. Totally depressing.

    Now that I've started I realise that I am the one responsible for that belly. I eat way too much Blue Bell icecream and not enough excercise.
    So thanks to all who have gone before me for sharing and inspiring.

    Anything with calories. Tea and coffee if you add sugar or creamer, etc. I add my tea just to track that I had tea that day to see if I get a headache or if I feel more energized during my workout.
