Day 1, Week 1! Any advice/tips?

Hello everyone!

I'm just a beginner to this weight loss journey.

I was weighed today at my GP and found to be 154 pounds, making me slightly overweight. I've always been quite slim but unfortunately university life has taken its toll! I hope to be 130 pounds around mid-January, working out as a weight loss of roughly 2 pounds per week. This would take my BMI down from 25.1 to 20.1.

Does anyone have any advice/tips?

Thanks everyone and good luck with everything!

Hi, Sophie, plan your meals, and snacks, I divide my day into 5 bits, 3 meals and 2 snacks, 2lb loss is normally excessive, 1 lb is more normal.

Depends on what exercise too, good luck.
