I started by setting monthly goals for 5 lbs a month because I think it's doable. I know from the past that eating low carb works for me so I eased off of grains, corn and corn ingredients, and potatoes. I started easing off sugar and processed foods too. I haven't eliminated these things completely, but I don't have them often and usually don't want them anymore.
To get started, you can try looking at what you're already eating and figure out what to cut or what to add more of. Don't necessarily change what you eat but eat more of the healthier stuff you already like and less of the junk. If you're working out, don't go for a full 7 days a week or really long hours. Find a rate that you're more comfortable with and increase from there.
