    As far as diet, I would check out the getting started forum. There are tons of threads with helpful info on getting started. The best ones are up at the top; some with step-by-step instructions on how to figure out how many calories a day you need to eat.

    Exercise you really have to find out what works best for you. If you're not super active already, I'd recommend starting out with something low-impact. I started out with some simple calisthetics (sp?; squats, crunches, wall exercises,etc) and Yoga. You can go on popsugar.com, Pinterest or Youtube and find a lot of exercises to get you started. Find something you enjoy and try it. Finding out what I was interested in and actually trying it was the biggest and hardest step for me when I got started about a month ago.

    Hope this helps! Feel free to add me too! :)

    My best advice - eat what you want in moderation and within your calorie limit, have sustainable calorie limits, and find exercises or a sport you LOVE - it makes exercising easier if you truly enjoy it. Feel free to add me :)

    The only thing that has worked permanently for me is reducing my portions. I can't eliminate any one food as that makes me crazy. I do yoga and Taekwondo as exercise because I enjoy them. Find something you like or you won't do it.
