    Hi! Welcome!

    My advice, from many times trying this, lol, is to take it easy at first. If you try and do too much too quickly you get overwhelmed and in my experience quit. Dont go too low on your calories at first. It is a major adjustment and anything you do is better than what you did before. Start slow on exercise so you dont hurt yourself. Try to eat more clean foods than processed as they will keep you full longer and processed foods tend to be high in calories.

    Best of luck! :)

    Thank you! I defiantly will start slow, my problem is I always eat out to much and carbs! Breads, rice, and stuff like that which I know isn't good, but I'm trying to eat more fruits and vegetables and I've also been trying the lean cuisine frozen dinners, as for exercise I don't have any routine, but I know I get a workout at work with all the walking back and fourth:)lol
