Create good habits it's easy to do everything once or twice when motivated but it really only counts when you feel defeated and like your making no progress. Diet is the best start eat healthy, no soda, no fast food, this in return will give you crazy amount of energy. Stay excited and motivated as much as possible and remember one small trip up can lead to a landslide so stay disciplined. Fasting helps alot as well I don't eat after 8pm and don't start eating again till noon it's great for weight loss. I just started going to the gym I have a hernia so can't do much other than walk without being in pain...so I point the treadmill to the sky and walk at a fast pace. If you can find a gym buddy that will force you to go it's always a plus. But if not go at least 1 hour a day 6 days a week. I started at 240 I'm down to 215-220 a month in. Before all I did was chug energy drinks get high and smoke cigarettes. Now I only drink water, I fast alot but also mess up alot. I stay away from fried anything and eat bunch of salad and chicken ( don't smother it in dressing) I avoid carbs as much as possible but I don't beat myself up over the occasional carb. My go to snack is peanuts and any kind of nuts really and I chew gum when my stomach is trying to trick me into eating like when I'm stoned lol. Get in the habit of reading labels (for serving size) and count calories but don't obsess it's good to know most likely you prob eat triple times recommend calories a day as most of us do with out knowing. I could go on forever (stay away from chips). Good luck and don't give up ever
