Answer: Hello there and thanks for using Wellvis

I can relate with what youre experiencing because Im on that journey myself and its quite a challenge but fulfilling Ive knocked off almost 30kg and hoping to lose more

Theres a lot of good advice out there on how to go about weight loss but what I think shows the most success is making it a lifestyle change This means Making healthy food choices and choosing a sustainable exercise regimen These need to be things you love and can keep up without getting bored

But its also important to ensure that your excess weight is not due to any medical condition as it will require more than diet and exercise

I will recommend the following
 That you reducecut out any processed foods and do more of fresh meals So say bye to any fast foods and make an effort to cook your own meals
 Reducing sugar alone or sugar containing products is proven to show some reduction in weight 
 Reduce your portions gradually and take a lot of water Sometimes we think we are hungry and all we need to do is drink water
 While indoors there are so many video resources and apps for home workouts You can start with a low intensity workout routine and gradually work your way up to a higher intensity

These recommendations are a few of many and we will be glad to give you more through the live chat 

You can do it and hopefully you will do it

I hope this helps
