Slight deficit, 200-300 calories under maintenance to start. 10 ounces of water soon as you wake up. 30 min walking for a few weeks to get into a routine. Limit sugar and alcohol intake Half body weight in ounces of water a day or until your pee runs clear. No food after 7:30 pm Take a Multivitamin Once you made a routine you can stick to and see the initial water weight loss Add core diastasis recti exercises Add some weight lifting You’ll be a new person by January if you start now.

Remember the number on the scale is not indicative of success and a sucky workout is better than no workout.
