want to lose weight

Track your calories, eat less than you burn, go for walks.
Its a lifestyle change. Not a short program. You have to fully commit. Forever. Its a long and slow process, but you can do it if you want it bad enough.

If you count calories then you have a guarenteed way to lose weight. The next 6 months are going to go by anyway, so are you going to be more fit by then or not?

ahh you definitely have to cut some foods from your diet. try small at first - if you drink soda, dont drink soda, etc. calorie count and see what your diet looks like. A woman should really not be eating more than 2k calories unless she's a very high performing athlete. starting out, at 117 kg? theres calculators for that, but i would say start eating only 1.6k kcal a day. I like food and sugar too, I generally only eat 1.4k a day. It is not impossible!

this is easier when you cook more of your meals and avoid refined grain - whole wheat is the way to go! cooking and baking are not as terrifying as they may seem, just find a good recipe and follow it.

exercise is also important. you don't post what exercise you do currently, so I will assume sedentary. If you want to build muscle, obviously weight lifting like the rest of IST. but theres other options. Taking more walks is a good way to start. Public pools generally have fun and social water aerobics classes. Water walking and swimming are both low impact cardio. Cycling outdoors is fun - idk if I can recommend indoor cycling bc its more boring than a fricking treadmill. But for starting off, I would say pool exercise and walks are a good way! Add some bodyweight movements in there. I know that at that weight just bodyweight squats, lunges, and dips are difficult, so those are good places to start.

Another anon was right when he said one part diet, one part exercise, one part mindfulness. You NEED to control yourself and build discipline.
>Stop eating like shit
No more drinking alcohol. No more eating restaurant food (it has 3x the fat as normal food). No more smoking pot. No more going out to lunch with coworkers. Start packing your own lunch and throw away all your snacks. Generally, if you're trying to cut you should aim to eat as much protein as possible and to keep your daily consumption under 1000 kcal.

>Work out every day
A typical workout plan for both males and females would go something like this. This will NOT make you 'look like a boy.' I promise you. It'll give you really perky breasts, a thin face, and a voluptuous, firm ass. All exercises 3 sets of 10 reps.
DAY 1: PUSH - bench press, cable fly, shoulder press, lateral raise, tricep pushdown, crunches, 40m cardio
DAY 2: PULL - single arm rows, lat pulldown, cable rows, rack pulls, bicep curls, crunches, 40m cardio
DAY 3: LEGS - barbell squat, goblet squat, stiff legged deadlift, leg curl, calf raises, crunches, 40m cardio

>Get a grip mentally
Prioritize your health. Choose to say no when you're presented with goyslop. Look at yourself in the mirror and recognize that you are worth being treated properly by yourself. You've been treating yourself like shit for too long and look where it's gotten you. The good news is that it's reversible.

Any questions, I'll keep this thread open while I work.

Try and track cals but if that's too stressful some days or whatever just track them loosely. For sure make a habit of turning food over and reading the nutritional info to get yourself in that habit. Besides that WALK!
WALK!
Every single day you need to be walking for at least a half hour but build yourself up to more. It's the easiest way to start, easy on your body, gets you some sunlight and will start the fat burning process.
