New to this

Hello everyone! Just starting here. I am 35 yrs old and looking to lose about 105 lbs. I have always been active and easily maintained my weight.. The past 3 yrs I have had a desk job and have not been as active. It really shows:( I am terrible at dieting, but will do whatever it takes to lose the weight. Just need help in the motivation department.

    Best advise is log your food and be honest with yourself don't cheat and skip logging an item because your only hurting yourself. I use this as a tool and if i want to snack i get on my treadmill or go for a run outside and i know how many calories i need to burn before i can stop. lost almost 40 lbs. But it is hard went on a mini vacation and did not log my food and did over eat and gained 5 lbs in that 2 days so it is easy too gain it back so i will always stay to my budget on calories or workout more to make up for it
