Starting over

I've out of the gym for 3 months. Eating way to many calories and the scale and my clothes are not happy. How should I start back up so I don't burn out? And how many calories should I eat? I was 149 now I'm 160. I was thinking a good mix of cardio and weights and salads with protein on top?

    so set up MFP, put in 1 lb per week loss (or maybe 0.5), and see what it says as your calorie goal.

    You can enter it in to MFP.

    I entered my information here: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator
    This calculated the total number of calories I should be eating overall. I don't eat back my exercise calories because it's accounted for here. This is the easiest way, in my honest opinion.

    I pretty much swear by MFP for advice and support though :)
    Best of luck
