Starting somewhere....hope I am not too green to start a journal

Yikes! I originally posted this in the other journalling area - is it for guys only???

I'm going to try it over here now - I feel kinda silly :S

I am brand new to this community, but I am hoping to find some really good advice here!

I have just started on my road to weightloss and fitness - have tried many times and failed miserably....this time I refuse to!

I have started taking Lipo-6 (which I tried before, but not very consistently). Yohimbe is now illegal in Canada - so it has become quite difficult to find the good stuff, however I found somewhere that will always have it in stock!
I am also taking CLA, and GNC Ultra-mega women's multis.
The guy at the store where I got the Lipo-6 also threw in a bottle of NOW Thyroid Energy?? I don't know anything about it.

I am meeting with a highly recommended trainer on Saturday, so hopefully she can set up at good workout and nutrition plan for me.

I am 5'2", and my starting weight is 137lbs
I am open to any suggestions or constructive critism. My ultimate goal is to compete in a fitness competition within 2 years (lofty, I know!!)
Time for me to work on some consistency!

I've taken Lipo-6 before without any issues - I received a new Bottle yesterday, and decided that I would re-acclimitize myself to it asap. I took just one pill at 7pm (stupid me - with only a sip of water, then I got busy, and nothing to eat afterwards). By 10pm I decided I wanted to go to bed - I laid down, obviously wide awake - but then I had some pretty bad side effects. I was sooooo shaky, nausious, and cold??? Within an hour it had passed and I was able to get to sleep. But ouch - I won't be making that mistake twice!
