Hi and welcome. I have found what has worked for me is don't make all changes at once. I agree with alanakerr01 find something that is viable and not so impossible. My biggest struggle when I first started was trying to eat clean 100% of the time. Know that you can eat whatever you want really as long as you learn portion control. And for those trigger foods that you just know you can't have because it will sabatoge your efforts try to find a more healthy substitute for it. Make sure you drink lots of water. Water has been my saving grace throughout my journey so far. One last bit of advice, exercise generally sucks but find some kind of physical activity that you enjoy. Do that often. Not everything works for everyone. Good luck to you in finding what works best for you. Feel free to add me. I'm always open to new friends and will offer advice if I can or just be an ear when you need someone to listen. Remember you didn't get 312 overnight. This isn't a diet it's a lifestyle change. When you get down on it all just remember you are important and you deserve better than being miserable.

Welcome!

My advice: Calculate your BMR and always eat at or slightly above it, move your body for half an hour each day in whatever way is comfortable for you, eat foods not just for taste but for how they make you feel afterwards, and allow yourself plenty of space for grace in this weight loss game. It's a rollercoaster, so just ride it and enjoy
