    1. buy a food scale
    2. set up a profile with an easy goal at first (start with .5 or 1lbs a week for the first 2 weeks to ease ur body into it)
    3. take up exercising (try only eat back half of what u think u burned at the max)
    4. join an online challenge
    5. ditch any non supportive friends
    6. donate all junk foods
    7. dont tell people that u r trying to lose weight coz most will tell u to EAT MORE (smile n ignore them if they do but do not give in coz u have a goal n they dont)
    8. LOG everything u eat consistently


    good luck!

    read everything. find what fits for you and ignore the haters! There are a ton of people here, who use a ton of different methods. I'm a Beachbody fan and eat Keto. But that's not a fit for everyone. So look at ideas that strike a chord with you, then gravitate to the people who are following that particular plan
