    Your best bet is to enter all your details onto MFP and go from there. Aim for a pound a week and go slow and steady, that way you won't feel deprived and the weight is more likely to stay off than if you suddenly start depriving yourself of all the things you enjoy. Eat what you like that fits into your calorie goals. Aim to get a wide range of food, fruit, veg, meat and don't forget the odd treat. Try to do a bit of exercise if you can and eat some, but not all those calories back. Most of all, make a plan that is sustainable, this is your life, not a race.

    Oh, and unless you really enjoy that acv/lemon/water/cinnamon concoction, ditch it, it's not doing anything for weight loss!

    And remember - you CAN do it!

    Just eat like normal but eat less of it and make smart choices. No need to just eat fruit and veggies all day. You need to find the right combination of foods that will make you full, give you the proper nutrients. Its a journey for sure but if you stick with it you will make it to your goal. I have been on MFP for about 13 months and I am down 110lbs. Add me if you like, actually anyone can add me. I have an open diary and log every day. Good luck.

    You're drinking what three times a day? What are you doing for fats and proteins?

    I only take ACV once a day and take it like a shot every morning. (disgusting, btw lol!) As for the "grand plan" just eat whatever you want and track everything you eat at deficit. You don't have to eat healthy all the time to lose weight, but it's preferable to eat mostly healthy long term. You'll be fine.

    This is not really going to help ........ well eating less will , but this is not the way..... Log all of your food buy a food scale, stay within the calories MFP gives you. If you work out you will have more calories to use. But you don't have to eat them all back it is a choice for you to make. You do not have to eat just fruits and veggies . OMG I would get sick of that. I have noticed for the few months that I have been doing this I have changed the way I eat , yes I eat lots of Veggies and fruits but I have carbs and protein. And my personnel fav ICE CREAM!!!!!

    The weight loss will come, your weight will fluctuate , if you work out your body will retain water for your muscles but it will go away. Be patient, give it time and go through some of the threads. Read them You will give som good advice and Knowledge from some of these MFPers!!! Good Luck and you got this
