Ready to lose this weight!

I am so ready to get this weight off me! I have 100 pounds to lose but I am setting smaller goals for myself to begin. One problem I have is that I can't do a lot of things. I have a major injury to my knee/leg so my mobility is minimal at best. But I know if I keep track of everything I eat and make sure I am within my calorie limit I can do this.

Yep. It's all about the calorie deficit. Get a food scale to weigh all solid foods. A food scale is important for calibrating food amounts.

You absolutely can do this!

I lost 90# before I began to even walk more, just by controlling my calorie intake. Getting that amount of weight off made my knees feel so much better that I was able to move more. At first it was just walking for 15 minutes. I increased the amount of time gradually, joined a gym in January, and now I go to the gym every day and for walks most days.

Best of luck to you! You can do this!

Smaller goals is the way to do this!
Don't worry too much about exercise, it's not needed to lose weight. Eat at a calorie deficit and you will lose weight - regardless of how much you move. Good luck.
