Hello and welcome. I lost 100 pounds following the simple MFP principles about calorie goals to lose 1 pound per week. I cut out processed foods and ate whole: lean meats, fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, whole grain breads I baked myself, beans and whole dairy.

My workouts were simple.
I'd do strength - full body Mondays and Thursdays. I'd do cardio Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Saturday was a rest day.

That's it. Take it slow and let your passion for health and fitness cultivate.

Good luck to you
