    I suggest you get a nice haircut, put on your best clothes, take a full body picture. Be proud of how good you look! Now imagine how good you're going to look a year from today after losing weight and working out for a year.
    Get started.

    Tip 1: acknowledge it won’t be fast

    If you eat so little that it actually is fast, you’re shedding a lot of muscle with the fat.

    start drinking a lot of water daily. Start a healthy eating plan..but don't do a starvation diet. Walk most everyday for 30 to 60 minutes. Do some pushups.. and exercises in your bedroom every morning or night. ..and give it time.. each day you'll look better.
