There is an advertisement that keeps popping up, for a course called, Noom. Combination of diet and psychology. Don't know what it costs but makes big claims.

Are you active enough, Cleoval?

Make smaller goals, then the enormity of the whole task doesn't overwhelm you. And you get regular lifting wins.

Thanks Mamba, looks like too good to be true, and the only thing getting slimmer would be my wallet!

Sounds sensible OG.

Buying a fitbit and going for a walk everyday might help. If you are able to, of course.

Set small, measurable goals that will help you get to your overall large goal. Keep a food and exercise journal.
