Great advice tho

Track your calories, macros, and any micronutrients that you're concerned about (e.g., sodium, fiber). Set a goal and stick to it. I use the LoseIt app and a digital kitchen scale.

Drink a lot of water. Half your body weight (in lbs) in ounces. So if you weigh 130 lbs, drink 130 ÷ 2 = 65 oz of water daily. This is your baseline; add more for exercise. Don't go overboard because too much water is bad for you.

Aim for 45-60 minutes of vigorous exercise 3-4 times a week. I like weightlifting for this. On the other days, be active, but don't push yourself too much. You need rest for recovery.

After your workouts, don't eat back all your calories, but do consider having something protein-heavy.

Sleep. I can't emphasize enough how important sleep is. Try to get 7-8 hours every night. This is the hardest one for me personally; I don't have a ton of advice. But developing a bedtime routine helps.

Weigh yourself every day first thing in the morning, after you've used the bathroom and before you've had anything to eat or drink, with no clothes on. I like my Withings scale because the app tracks my measurements over time.

Have a mindset of lifestyle change - otherwise, if you go back to old habits, you're likely to gain back any weight you lose.

Good luck!

Yeah I love my Withings scale

Oh great, good luck getting that outta my head!

I think that would be purgatory.

No, it's just got an irritating sound. Also it makes me think about Niblets (the frozen corn kernels). But that's not enough to explain how annoying I find that word. Maybe I'm just weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Something about that word irks me and I'm not sure why.
