REALLY great advice here Steph! And you can do it! Look at all the lovely ladies who are behind you all the way here!

I'd second what Elizabeth said about maybe only cutting 350ish. I've always felt that you can go to about a 500 calorie deficit a day (tops tops tops) with exercise, but that you shouldn't be eating less that 350 calories from what you burn on an average day without exercise. You'll just get too hungry and grumpy and it won't be fun. See how you do with it though. The amount a person needs to cut to lose weight varies from person to person so you'll need to experiment a little at first. Try 350 for a week or two with maybe a few cardio sessions and see how you do with that. If you're not seeing any results, try cutting a bit more for a few weeks (that should kick start the weight loss) and you should be able to bring it back up after a while.

I'd really recommend some exercise at least though as it will jumpstart your metabolism - which will help. Also make sure you're eating 5-6 small meals (or 3 meals and 2 large snacks) every few hours with protein at each one - it's important to not let yourself get hungry!

GOOD LUCK! Again, we're rooting for you! You can do it! *now picture me with pom poms - yikes!* lol
