5. Exercise is very important. Doing at least 30 minutes of exercise a day has many benefits. Not only does it help you loose weight but it can help your heart and etc. You don't have to kill yourself in the gym. Take your time and don't give up.
6. BE PATIENT!!!!!!! you will not see results right away but don't get discouraged.
