    The thing I see repeated on here the most, and has truly helped me is to eat as natural as possible...think single ingredient...lean meat, fruit, veggies, and whole grain... try your best to stay away from the boxed and canned things. excersise, or get moving in some form everyday...and if you mess up, like I have several times, just start fresh the next day =) friend me if u want!

    Totally agaree with what was said about forgiving yourself for screwing up every once in a while. Try to focus on what you have accomplished - not what you havent accomplished. We all didn't gain weight over night, so we won't lose it over night. Good luck! Add me if you wish :flowerforyou:

    Welcome to MFP! You will get lots of advice - remember that most of it is just people's opinions and not fact. This is a great tool. Good luck!

    These words could not be truer!!! MFP is like a family. You take some things to heart and you blow other things off. All in all, you will receive lots of encouragement. Add me if you like.
