I'm 23 years old. I'm at my highest weight of about 170. (I don't have a scale yet, trying to put some money aside to buy one) This has been the roughest part of my life as far as my weight goes and I can never manage to build up any energy. My back is always killing me and I won't even lie, I'm always wanting to sleep. I have no idea how to begin this journey, how to workout, and how to develop healthy eating habits. I want to lose 30lbs but mainly just live a healthier lifestyle. Any advice on how to throw away this gross, lazy lifestyle and become a better me? Thank you in advance! ♡♡

    Hi ..... Set yourself a reasonable target, don't be impatient, when you have a bad week / bad day.... don't be too hard on yourself ... I find if you understand what works well and what doesn't ... that'll help you make the right decisions. A workout can be as easy as 2 x 30 minute walks a day .... Online exercises can be found pretty easy... just experiment ....Another thing I did was to load in a typical (pre-diet) day's food ... that helped me realise what I was eating .... Hope this rambling helps

    Try different kinds of exercise until you find one that you enjoy! Once you enjoy working out, it becomes easier to find the motivation to do it.
