@Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty I know I'm not who you asked but I can give some advice too.

if you're trying to lose weight, the easiest first thing to do is just stop drinking soda. I'm a relatively skinny dude and not drinking soda alone cut out like 5-10 lbs pretty quickly.

Then you want to just make sure you're at a calorie deficit. It doesn't matter what you do at the gym or what you eat as long as you are burning more than you are consuming. The higher deficit you run, the more you'll lose, naturally. Cardio and calisthenics usually burns the most. Eating high protein and low calorie foods will make sure you don't feel hungry, but you do still want to make sure your body can function because you can't work out if you're dead. Smaller meals throughout the day instead of like, one big meal will be better.

Of course, if you're not actually going to the gym or going on walks/runs consistently then none of this will matter. So it might be good to get into the rhythm of that first and just ease yourself into it. Just start doing it and don't stop, even if it is inconvenient or you really don't want to do it one day. You gotta just force yourself and focus.

If you have anyone that you can work out with, that's also a huge help. It's way easier to do it with someone because you get the social aspect in there and you can both motivate each other and hold each other accountable.
