You provide a lot of great tips, which I believe beginners will appreciate.

My weight loss journal is quite plain. It’s in a Microsoft Word document format lol. I jot down my weight monthly. I also jot down my monthly target in it. I’ve never thought of adding before and after photos in a journal. That’s a great idea.

“Instead of thinking about the sixty pounds you want to lose, think about losing the first five.”

Yep, great point there. You have to start small – from one bit to another in order to reach your ultimate goal. If you set your target too high during the first stage, you will end up disappointing yourself if you can’t reach it. Consequently it can make your feel hopeless thinking that you can’t lose weight.
