Hi, I'm 31 yr old weighing 222lbs currently and looking to drop down to 150lbs. I am 5'3" and so so so out of shape. Currently only adjusting my diet. I started at 230lbs and am now down to 222lbs :-) I'm hoping soon to be able to integrate some exercises, but walking is the only thing I've been able to fit in at the moment. Any suggestions of things I can do at home for a beginner would be so helpful.

Starting slow and being consistent is a great beginning. I'm down 81 with just watching calories and walking. I add in the occasional bike ride or hike and i'm not worried about going all hard core. Slow and steady!! You are off to a great start.1

You really need to add light weights to your exercise0

Water. Quit all other drinks. Water is the key.0

Look into a Mediterranean diet. High in fish, fruits, vegetables, and seeds and nuts. Also cooking with extra virgin olive oil. Getting the healthy fats are key. It's been shown to reduce systemic inflammation which can allow your fat cells to better break down fat. Walking is great but if you want to boost your metabolic rate, adding in some resistance training will definitely help that.0

I'm starting over myself and I agree with Mediterranean diet and all water. that's where I'm focusing. also just joined a gym and hope to focus not on "dieting" but on new lifestyle changes for long term success0
