1) track everything you eat. That latte isn't 0 calories for example.
2) I like weights, and you can get a great session in 30 minutes if you focus on the big moves
3) try to stay active to a bit (go for a morning walk if feasible, walk to get coffee etc)
4) drink water
5) some meal services might help but I haven't used them

Good luck!

East better food. Do more HIIT (steady cardio isn't the answer). The rest is math. Less calories in than what you're burning. Set a realistic weight loss goal and track it. Also consider carb cycling and timing your macros for optimal energy burn and for sedation.

This is the answer, but start slow. Low impact.

It’s 80% diet. I was 320 pounds a couple months ago, now ~275 pounds and still going! Been fat my entire life, hated it, kept trying to lose weight and kept falling off within days. Finally got absolutely SICK of myself and am sticking to a plan that works for me, and god knows I’m not stopping this time. I’ve attached my diet, but probably will switch this up soon as eating the same thing 6/7 days of the week for 10 weeks now has me hating life, but the progress makes it worth it.

Yes intermittent fasting. I seldom have a coffee in the morning, but that’s it.

Most people in these comments have no clue what they’re talking about. I’m 6’, about 185, shredded and eat and go out every weekend. What works for me, if you like having fun, is two big meals a day (so you’re never hungry). First at around noon and second post workout around 6. Just make sure you’re eating a bunch of eggs and meat and lay off on the sugar

Calculate your basal metabolic rate and institute a calorie deficit with healthy cals while increasing cardio to 30 mins/day with moderate - heavy lift 3-6 days / week. Also increase water and cut all processed sugars and carbs (or replace with healthy options, ie carrots v chips). Weight loss imminent.

Lost over 25 kgs in 2 years. Eventually it all came down to:

Calorie In - out < 0

Here are tactical things to do:

Out:
1. Measure your BMR, that’s what your resting output
2. Increase your activity through regular exercise to add your output
3. As you do more exercises, you also gain muscles, which increases your BMR

In:
1. Measure everything you eat initially, and then you’ll get a hang of what “costs” how much
2. Make sure to maintain 10-20% deficit initially , anything lower and you’ll starve yourself and end up over compensating.
3. Eat a balanced diet

Start slowly and you’ll start to notice progress.

All the power to you :)

PS: As you lose weight your BMR also goes down, so important to keep focusing on muscles so that at least you retain a constant BMR (if not more)

Diet is everything, I cleaned up my diet to chicken and fish only.

Use myfitnesspal app and track your calories and excercise. Works like a champ.

Don’t drink your calories. Lots of veggies and drink tons of water. Get lots of sleep to keep energy levels up.

Do a protein with just greens

keep it simple ...each day burn more calories than you intake

can eat whatever just make sure you are at a calorie defecit

dont jump off the deepend with diets or fads that will deter you and set you up for a difficult time

just eat smaller portions of your fave foods, will be hungry in the beginning but your body will adjust

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
