DRINK WATER!!
Plain and simple. You have got to stop drinking calories. This is the best first step to start losing weight. Maybe you are having difficulties changing your eating habits. So start with changing your drinking habits! Most overweight people drink an insane amount of calories per day. So just cutting those out should yield some results! Water not only cuts the calories out of your diet over other drinks, it also helps keep your stomach feeling full. Which in result should curb how much you do eat at your meals!
My typical day starts with a glass of water as soon as I get up before I eat anything. Your body can become dehydrated overnight as you sleep. So it is important to replenish first thing. I will then take 6 bottles of water with me to work to drink over the course of the work day. When I get home in the evenings I will typically drink (2) 32 ounce glasses of water. That’s a lot of water!!

Warning: If you are just starting this out be prepared to be using the restroom a lot until your body adjust!!
