I've tried these things before and I've tried eating clean but it never really sticks. I'm 22 years old, 160lbs and 4' 11". This is the heaviest I've ever been and hoping that having some friends on here will help and if I can help people along the way!(:

    You don't have to eat clean or make big changes to lose weight. Small changes with the foods you like so that you are eating at a calorie deficit will do the trick. You may have more luck sticking with it if you keep eating your normal foods with some adjustments.

    First, log everything that you normally eat as accurately as possible. Use a food scale to weigh solid foods. Having an accurate food log will allow you to look back and decide where you might make small changes.

    Next, reduce your portion sizes for the calorie dense foods a bit. Maybe have more of the veggie side dish and less of the entree.

    That's kinda what's I'm doing now instead of going all in lol I'm definitely cutting down on processed foods though like Mac and cheese (my obsession) and stuff like that. Thank you for the advice though!(:
