[quote=Anonymous]Okay, laugh.  Obese people always get slammed on this forum, so let's just get all the fat jokes out of the way, k?

Now, I'm 34, 5'7" and 250.  I carry it well, no Jabba, but I'm obese.  No getting around that, and I'm tired of it.

I've been keeping a food journal for all of December, just to watch and see what I'm doing (wrong).  I snack a LOT more than I thought I did.  I'm going to try to cut back on that, but I work from home and have easy access to food all day, so that's a tricky one.

I have a FitBit, and log 5000-6000 steps in an average day.  I think just meeting a daily goal of 10,000 steps would start some sustainable weight loss.

I have a history of anorexia that I have used as an excuse to stay fat ("If I diet at all, I'll take it too far" etc.)  While there's some concern there, because the only way I know to lose weight is to starve and smoke, I don't think it's much more than a crutch right now.

Thing is, I need some hand-holding when it comes to what, exactly, to eat and how, precisely, to workout every day. Everything I read is either "Paleo" or "Atkins" or some other faddish shit.

Can someone just give me a daily plan that isn't extreme?  I don't want to do crazy shakes or ridiculous WOD crossfit stuff.  I want a lifestyle that will help me lose weight.

Suggestions?  [/quote]
