Just starting, need some advice!

Hey everyone! I'm so excited I've finally decided to start working on my weight. I'm female and I'm 20 but I'm overweight:( I am in a wedding in September so it's really a goal to lose at least some weight by then( about 30-40lbs). I really do not know where to begin. I've been excercising and eatting less junk and more fruit. I'd love advice on healthy food choices or good cardio excercises to lose weight!

You can found most of what you need here.

Have reasonable expectations, learn how weight loss is done, buy yourselves some food scales to weigh your food, eat at a sensible deficit and commit.

You simply need a consistent calorific defict and you will lose over time.

Be patient.

This is probably one of the best introductions I've read.

Congrats on starting your journey! My biggest piece of advice is - give yourself grace! It's hard, and it's easy, at the same time - and this is a great place for support
