Set yourself a sensible steps target, but aim to increase those active minutes and get your heart rate going, if you excercise then eat a sensible small helathy meal after as your body will use it as fuel rather than store as fat. Make small changes to your diet and lifestyle grdually so not to feel pressured. Break your target down in to manageable a achievable amounts o not to demoralise yourself too much

Some simply tips to get started. First- Start working on making your food portions smaller. Second: You need to always know what and how much you are eating. A 6 oz grilled Chicken Breast and a 3 oz grilled Chicken Breast have a big difference in calories. Third: Eat lots of Veggies and add some Fruit to your diet. Fourth: Ged rid of the junk food and all soda, even diet ones. Diet Soda makes your body crave sweets because of the Artificial Sweetners. It also expands your stomach. That is why Bariartic Patients can use it. Add some excercise to your daily routine. Start slowy at first,like maybe a half mile, and work yourself up. To me calorie counting is very important. I track everything I eat. I guess that is why I now weighe 186 and not 271. Good Luck.
