[quote=Anonymous]Any advice for a diet/fitness newbie who's failed several times due to lack of knowledge / information overload? I've hit 160 lbs (height 5'7), fattest I've ever been. I feel absolutely disgusting every time I look down at my belly and thighs. I want to succeed at this but I don't know how.

I don't make anywhere near enough to hire a nutritionist or personal trainer. I've tried researching online and am overwhelmed by all the vague and conflicting information out there. I don't have time to become a fitness expert, and I don't know how to choose between the hundreds of workouts available from hundreds of different trainers, hundreds of recipes that all claim to be healthy, etc. I need a clear formula to follow for both diet and exercise. Does this exist?

With workouts, everything I try is either way too hard, so I overdo it and give up or too easy, so makes no difference. I don't know how many minutes I should be working out per day, how many days per week, and what is the right combination of HIIT, running, strength training, yoga, and so on. I'm ok paying for it, but I don't want access to a library where I have to choose myself what to do each day. I want a clear plan to follow.

With food, I really want to eat fresh rather than signing up for a service that sends prepackaged meals. But I really struggle to put  together a healthy, easy-to-make meal plan each week (which also will fill up my perpetually hungry husband, who can eat twice as much as me and still weigh less, and picky kids). Eating the same few basic things doesn't work for us(plain chicken or salmon with salad seems to be a mainstay of every diet). I know I'm supposed to avoid carbs and processed crap, but when I have to come up with something for lunch and dinner every day, we end up defaulting to unhealthy choices. I would love to have like 3 weeklong seasonal meal plans that I can rotate. Again, happy to pay for it.

Thank you in advance for your advice!
