    You have the best tool right here. Set up your MFP account, follow the calorie guidelines it gives you, log everything honestly and accurately and you can succeed.

    honestly we had the same starting weight, as a male with close to 300 u can eat whatever u want and still loose weigth. Just get some protein rich (tuna,eggs,chicken) food in and drop the soda.

    Get into a routine, work out, dont, work out, dont...

    When i started i couldent do a single pushup, this was 7 month ago, now I can do 50 without breaking a sweat. I switched to 1hand...

    I still dont like sports, its just a nother chore I have to do...

    Reducing fast food and pop consumption is a great way to start, but the best thing to do is to use MFP to count your calories.

    Follow the guide above, set a moderate deficit, and go.

    You don't have to completely stop eating fast food, just make sure your overall diet is healthy.

    Eat plenty of protein (it helps you feel full plus other stuff), eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
