    Welcome to MFP and let me tell you that you do not need a gym to get started on this weight loss journey.
    just keep track of all your food accurately and get some form of physical activity going like walking and body weight exercises and you will accomplish your goals.

    Best of luck to you. and feel free to add me if you'd like

    Welcome and good luck!
    A gym isn't necessary as you can accomplish your goals by calorie restrictions and just moving.
    a nice walk works well.

    Hi,

    You can do it. I notice that cutting out bad carbs (white rice, pasta, and bread) has helped me a lot. I also cut back on sodas. I didn't want to diet...I wanted to change my eating habit. Something that's not temporary, but life changing.

    Thanks for the warm welcome folks, Food is where I need to start. I mean in three years I have quite smoking and happily stayed away from it for 3+ and drink very rarely however food is a weakness and the work I do at the moment takes up all my time however, I am going to make time to exercise.
