In need of help!

Hey, I'm a 20 year old female in desperate need of weight loss help. I've been overweight since as long as I can remember. At 14 I weighed in at 238lbs and that scared me into eating very little and exercising 6+ hours a day. In 4 months I had lost over 45lbs. Then I hit a plateau, messed up my metabolism and started rapidly gaining. In the last year I have gained 50 lbs and am at my highest weight ever 275. I need someone to tell me what to do. I want to lose it gradually and keep it off, but I don't know what to do. If you could send me your meal plan, your exercise routines, videos you like, diets you approve of, I would be forever grateful. Thank you.

Keep in mind that it is all about a calorie deficit. If you move more, eat healthier and less... you will lose. Some do specific methods with Keto diets and such... but what works for one in a specific area, may or may not work for me or you. Know what I mean? I started in January of this year and I am 23 years your senior.... I changed the way I eat. I move more and in the process I have lost almost 80 lbs. You can do this. Set your mind to it, utilize MFP daily. Buy a digital food scale and weigh your food so you know exactly what you are consuming. Many assume a serving is much more than it really is and a digital scale takes all that guess work out of the equation and you are certain about the amount you are consuming. I was 260 when I started and I am now 182.4. You can do this.... it won't always be easy, but it can be done.

Set your goal to lose 2 pounds a week. Log your foods as accurately as possible. If you choose to exercise, eat back a portion of those calories. You don't need any special diet plans or exercises. Eat the foods you enjoy in moderation, focusing primarily on nutrient-dense items but not depriving yourself of a treat every so often. Do the exercises you enjoy and that challenge you to improve, in some combination of cardio and strength/resistance training.

its great that u r ready to face this problem，u might find this helpful

1. buy a food scale
2. set up a profile with an easy goal at first (start with .5 or 1lbs a week for the first 2 weeks to ease ur body into it) then try 2lbs/week when u r more comfortable
3. take up exercising (try only eat back half of what u think u burned at max). try utube for ideas n routines
4. join an online challenge
5. ditch any non supportive friends
6. donate all junk foods
7. dont tell people that u r trying to lose weight coz most will tell u to EAT MORE (smile n ignore them if they do but do not give in coz u have a goal n they dont)
8. LOG everything u eat consistently


good luck!
