Goals

Be careful with calories. Anything under 1200 is too low and can cause the body to go into starvation mode. Then you won't lose fat, but you will lose muscle. Also check your portion sizes. When I started I thought I was doing 1 cup of something when it turned out to be 2 cups. I suggest measuring what you can until you're good at eyeballing measurements. Also set mini goals. Instead of saying you need to lose a large amount (for example I have 40 lbs left to lose) give yourself mini goals (177 for me). When you reach that goal reward yourself (I'm getting a professional massage). If you have any questions feel free to ask me. :)
