    Put your stats and goals into MFP, get a calorie goal, log accurately, and consistently hit your goal.

    That sums it up pretty well. Be patient and consistent, if you maintain a caloric deficit of 500 cal per day on average you should lose about 1lb of fat per week but keep in mid weight loss isn't linear and it takes time.

    You can do it, stay committed to logging your meals everyday as well as staying within your calorie goal, know that everyone slip up at times. Try to look at it as living a healthy lifestyle rather then somthing for the moment,and know that the benifits are rewarding. It took me 6 months tp loose 40lbs

    Set at 1 lb per week for 10-15 lbs then switch to 0.5 per week. Don't rush it.

    its great that u r ready to face this problem，u might find this helpful

    1. buy a food scale (the most important tool u need)
    2. set up a profile with an easy goal at first (start with .5lb a week for the first 2 weeks to ease ur body into it). u can go for -1 or more lbs/week if u like after u get comfortable with ur new lifestyle
    3. take up exercising (try only eat back half of what u think u burned at 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!
