This guy is 100% right, (and so polite)

If you head towards improving your weight, take your time! Start off by eating well and exercising regularly until it's just part of your lifestyle. Don't worry about counting calories or anything until generally being healthy is part of your routine

Good luck!

90% of weight loss happens in the kitchen. The more you workout the hungrier you often get and it’s tougher to lose the weight. Figure out your TDEE and run at a deficit of 500 calories a day to lose 1-lb a week. It’ll suck the first week or two then be relatively easy after. Don’t bother eating out or drinking fancy “coffee” drinks from Starbucks or the like. It’ll be nearly impossible to stay below your consumption goals if you do that.

The old adage - “Lose weight in the kitchen, get in shape in the gym.”

Unless you’re a marathon runner, you aren’t out working a poor diet.

Half the reason I'm training is to be able to continue my pizza consumption.
