Weight loss journey

Hey! I'm new to this forum and fitness in general.

First a bit about myself? I'm 18, from the UK, my name is Jessica and all my life I've been overweight. I'm about 6.1" tall and I weigh around 196 pounds, or 14 stone. I've been unhappy about this my entire life (of that I can remember) and I've never had the time or the money to do anything about it.

I recently dropped out of a College course because I wasn't enjoying myself, and I plan to re-join a different one in September, leaving me with 7-8 months to finally do something about it! I have a membership to a good gym (All facilities and even a pool, sauna etc) so now I'm finally ready and able make a change. I know it won't be easy but I've wanted this all my life and I'm a very persistent person. I won't give up.

I came here because I've no idea how fitness works. I'm clueless! I don't know the best things to do to strictly lose weight, and I don't want to waste these 7 months. I can adjust my eating in any way (I heard that 5 small meals is better than 2 big ones per day) if needed. I'll do anything to get the best results out of these next 7 months.

Any help would be appreciated, this is my dream goal.
 
If you are completely new witch i think you are and you seem very motivated i would suggest that you start with home based workout such as Insanity or P90X there complete workout with meal and supplement plans and everything you need.
If that's not something you're interested in; then just do a basic 4 days a gym routine and focus on cardio mainly and have about 4 to 5 small meal a day + a cheat meal every week.
Exercise is the fun part, if you're going to have any problem it going to be in committing to your diet , just remember your goal and everything is gonna be alright.

Hope that's helped :)
 
Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.

Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

You can always eat negative calorie foods for weight loss and below is a list of negative calorie foods that will boost your metabolism.

Negative Calorie Fruits:
apples
cranberries
grapefruit
lemons
mangoes
oranges
pineapple
raspberries
strawberries
tangerines

Negative Calorie Vegetables:
asparagus
beets
broccoli
cabbage (green)
carrots
cauliflower
celery
Chile peppers (hot)
cucumber
dandelions
endives
garden cress
garlic
green beans
lettuce
onions
papaya
radishes
spinach
turnips

These foods don't actually have negative calories but when you eat these foods raw or slightly cooked your body burns more calories digesting and processing them than what is in the food itself.

For a healthy weight loss add some of these foods to your diet each day. Most of them are full of healthy nutrients.
