It's hard to lose weight, that's the first thing you have to remember. It's not easy. It may feel like you put the weight on rather quickly, but it took time. So it will take time to take off.

The key with working out is that you don't have to jump right in to "working out." Start slow. Go for a walk 3 days a week. Get a pedometer (you can get a free app version for a phone if you have smart phone.) Start setting step goals. If you need help with that check out America on the Move (americaonthemove.org) and you can start "challenges" to walk famous trails virtually (by number of steps per day.)

Then start making small changes to your diet. Slowly start lowering portion sizes. Don't give up the foods you love, but start eating a smaller portion. Start adding new things like whole grains or vegetables.

It may take 52 weeks, but if you lose 1 pound a week that's 52 pounds. And you'll feel good and not deprived. If nothing else, you'll just feel better because you know you're doing something good for yourself.
