Welcome on board MrMega. You came to the right place. You'll meet supportive and caring people here. Well, concerning your quest to hints, tips and advice, if you could provide us with more info on your background, weight loss goals, lifestyle then we could help you more. I don't think you want to listen general tips (more exercise, more water, avoid this or that, etc.) you know. So in order to be more helpful, give us more details please. Nice to meet you. See you around.
