Where do I start??

loveyourchaos

I'm 18, 5'5 and around 260lbs. I'm looking to be around 160 around this time next year. I've been overweight for the majority of my life. I'm embarrased! I don't know where to begin. What are the key things that will help me shed the pounds?! I'm looking to start a gym once I get back to school in a few weeks. Does anyone have any tips for me to help me get started??

^This was tremendously helpful for me when I started. It clarified a lot for me and I hope it will help you. I recommend joining the Eat, Train, Progress group ans reading all the info there. I've been a lurker there for awhile and I am thankful I found it. Good luck and here's to a great 2014
