Definately stay with the forum, I couldn't manage without it, the advice and motivation I get on here keeps me going.
Put some smaller size piece of clothing where you can see it, and aim to fit into it.
Put a photo of yourself at your heaviest on your fridge so you see it every time you open the fridge door.
Keep saying to yourself why you want to be slim.....all these suggestions will help with your motivation, good luck to you. X
