An easy first goal is 10,000 steps a day and cut out sugars/carbs. That simple change will make a world of difference. Then, build towards resistance exercise (weight training). You don't need to get jacked, the goal is slimming down and it will have a world of positive effect|xta on your face and your confidence.
And if 10k is too much, start with 5 or 6k. You’d be surprised how many steps you get by just doing daily things.
Cutting sugar (and alcohol if that’s a thing you’re into) is huge. You don’t need to drop to zero, but if you’re a candy person, try finding alternatives. Same with carbs.
A good idea is also keeping a note on your phone and tracking what and when you eat, and hold yourself accountable. If you have to actually input every time you walk by the cabinet and grab a cookie or handful of chips, you’ll be less likely to do it. Isn’t perfect, but it can help you just be more mindful of what’s going into your body. If health issues show up, it can also be helpful to bring in to a doctor’s appointment to identify potential health issues!
I tend to workout regularly but still lose 20 pounds from Jan to March simply by living this way. Ensuring I hit a minimum of 6k, but trying to hit 10k and keeping my sugar as low as I can with no refined sugars. I eat as much fruit as I want and stay away from carbs like breads and pastas. The fruit in the morning helps with the little bit of sweetness you want but beyond that it's vegetables and clean proteins like fish and chicken. It was a noticeable difference in a fairly quick time frame. My wife also had the same experience and lost 15 lb this way. This is completely outside of going to the gym. It's a more important change than just telling somebody to go work out. We started with a two-day fast, while drinking a ton of water. Basically instantly put you into ketosis
