Welcome! There's so much information out there about how to lose weight. Put very simply, you have to eat at a calorie deficit, but your goal should be to eat as many calories as possible while still losing weight, because who wants to feel like they're starving? I've lost nearly 40 lbs without feeling like I've been on a diet and it's because I've started with small changes that can be sustained for a long period of time and changes I can fit into my life. I've sent you a friend request. I hope we can support and encourage one another during this journey!
