    Welcome,
    There is lots of valuable advice on here which will help you understand the best way forward, my tips would be the following
    1. It took you years to put on the weight so don't expect to lose it all overnight
    2. Don't lie in your food diary you are only lying to yourself
    3. Weigh all your food it's the only accurate way of doing it
    4. Don't make it too complicated it's simple burn off more than you take in 3600 calories = 1 lb
    5. Don't treat it as a short journey it's a new way of life
    6. Treats should be limited - you are not a dog so don't reward yourself with food !
    7. Keep exercise varied that way it does not become boring or a chore
    8. Be proud of all the changes you make and where you are heading

    Good luck and keep us informed

    Welcome to MFP! Log EVERYTHING especially the bad days. MFP is a great accountability tool. I too agree with all the tips Reevsie123 posted. It's a marathon not a sprint.
