Hey! Welcome. You've come to a great place to learn and get support. You can take simple steps to get started on your weight loss and then add more steps as you go along. 2 things that can help are drinking water and cutting out sodas and juices. Do you like to cook?

Thanks. I cook everyday. I'm trying to half my portions. I've got to get my weight down and lower my colesterel as I'm not doing well with that. I give up too easily I'm hoping t get some motivation from here. I have cut out soda. I just need to drink more water. Thanks for the tips and responding x
