MFP friends :-)

Here's my suggestion:

Figure out your TDEE and take a moderate cut from it.

Eat at that level for a few weeks, and adjust your calorie goal up or down as needed.

Do resistance training so that you retain your muscles and lose mostly fat. Do some cardio-type stuff if you enjoy it.

Be patient.

Welcome.

I personally feel the biggest and most important advice I can give is to stay persistent. You will fall off the track. You might not see the results as soon, or even at all for a while. You might try a workout and not like it and wanna give up. Don't. Just keep pushing.

If you eat too much one day. Don't say "oh well, there goes the week". No. Keep persistent. Start again TODAY.
If you don't like a workout. Try something else. Don't just sit around.
If you don't see results, stay persistent. I have lost my weight in over 1.5 years. For that duration, thats a small amount. But thats fine because in between I feel a lot and had to pick it back up. And now I am in a habit of eating right and working out.

The second best advice, surround yourself with people who will motivate you and educate you and inspire you. Everytime I fell, I had people push me and I try to do the same for them.

Wish you all the best. Stay persistent!

This is all kinds of awesome.
