    hello berta.. . good luck to you on this journey (not diet).

    1. fill out your profile. be brutally honest about the reasons you want to lose weight, about those reasons you hate being overweight, about the reasons for your past failures with "dieting", about the things you will do to avoid those past failures.

    2. don't worry about exercise for now. 80% of weight loss is what goes into your body. find a healthy nutrition plan and run with it. you can, and will lose weight without exercise if you eat healthy. exercise has its benefits (tighten up as you lose weight, some added calorie burn during the day from muscle vs. fat, ability to eat more during the day due to calories burned, improved cardio system, reduce the risk of certain disease, etc.). however, for pure weight loss alone, you can accomplish that without exercise. if/when you choose to add exercise to your healthy lifestyle, start slow....try to find something you think you would enjoy and go with that. as you become healthier, you may find that you like exercise.
