Motivation!

Start off by keeping it simple. Weigh/measure your food and track it here. Keep to a reasonable calorie deficit. Do whatever exercise you enjoy doing and can fit in. You can definitely make changes as you go along, to your diet (if you want to/think you need to) and with exercise, but it doesn't have to be all at once. You don't need to exercise at all to lose weight (although exercise is really good for you and I highly recommend it!) You just need a calorie deficit.

You don't need to eat certain foods either. If you want to make changes to get a better nutritional balance for your health, then great. If you feel you want to make changes to make it easier to meet your calorie goal, then that will happen. To start with though, just keep it simple and meet your calorie goal. As you start to see progress, chances are you'll feel a bit more motivated/excited about the whole thing.

Unfortunately there are no easy fixes. You won't lose weight if you are not motivated and/or disciplined.

I'm frequently not "motivated" to exercise or count calories. I do ok though. I agree that some degree of discipline is necessary though.

Motivation comes from within. If you want to do it, you will.

absolutely this ^^^^
Decide you want to and then commit to getting it done :bigsmile:
