    Start by logging everything you eat. I recommend using a food scale for all solids, measuring cups for all liquids. The more accurate your diary the better results you'll see. Don't stress in the beginning about making big changes or anything - just work on the logging and then you'll see where you can make modifications in your eating habits.

    For workouts - I'd probably start with walking if you aren't use to exercise.

    Eat fewer calories than you burn. Easy game really.

    You don't need a system--just move. Keeping adding time, new goals and new exercises.

    When I started at 300 pounds, swimming was where I began. I was inactive for several years due to severe illness. Swimming is good to avoid injury--the water supports you and you don't even sweat. Plus you can also go at your own pace. As a very competitive former athlete, I need to start out in the pool alone so that I didn't have anyone to challenge except myself.

    From there I added walking, then weight lifting, then cardio dance, setting new goals within each activity all the time.

    Just start. You don't have to have a terribly specific or concrete plan.
