You CAN do it...
I used to hate when people said that to me, lol.  Now I find myself saying it.  I know that if I can do this, anyone can...it's just a matter of setting your mind to do it.  YOU have to DECIDE that this is something YOU want to do...once you do that, it's all downhill.  It took me years to finally decide that I WANTED do it...not just for me, but for my kids.  I WANT to be around to watch them grow...and I wasn't going to do that staying on the path that I was on.

If I can do it, YOU can do it!!
My Tips

1. DRINK YOUR WATER
2. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day (when I started exercising I noticed that I started losing more consistantly).
3. One day at a time.  If you go off program, don't beat yourself up...just get back on program the next day.
4. Take a good multi vitamin daily.
5. If you hit a plateau, DON'T GIVE UP!!  Stick with it and you'll be rewarded!.
6. Take pictures of your journey...you will be glad that you did.
7.  Write down everything that you eat, it makes you more accountable.
