I put this down as tip one because it is the easiest to do! There are so many benefits from getting adequate sleep. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. If you are deprived of sleep, you will have less energy all through the day, and be less motivated to stay on track with the rest of your program.

Realistic Expectations: Don't be overambitious. If you weigh 150 and your goal long term is 125 but you haven't weighed 125 since high school then it aint gonna happen. This is a big mistake people make. Start MUCH much smaller. Aim for a max of 10-25 pounds a month depending on your current state

Keep a journal. This was a huge inspiration for me. It doesn't matter if it is an online journal or a hand written journal as long as you are writing down how you are feeling how the weight loss is going. You can always look back on it when you are feeling down about the weight loss and use it as inspiration to get you going again.
