I am trying to do this the right way, and not do a fad diet. This needs to be a lifestyle change that I can adhere to easily. I know it will be difficult in the beginning, but any advise would be greatly appreciated to get me going in the right direction. I am 5'4, at 240 and REALLY motivated to do this! Thanks in advance for any advice!:)
