Hello everyone,
I am new here and I need some help to reach my weight goal. I am not sure what it is that should be eating to lose weight. By that I mean should I be eating more protein than carbs? Should I be taking protein shakes/supplements?
I guess I need more of a guideline of what foods/things I should be incorporating into my daily routine to help me lose weight.
Currently I weigh 188 pounds

and I am 5'3. I would like to get down to 135-140.

I don't really have a time frame but I want to make sure whatever I am doing is working for me. Currently I am exercising about 40 minutes 5 days a week. Started a month ago. I am doing brisk walking/jogging.
I have eliminated sweets/sodas/junk/fried foods/alcohol from my daily routine.
I see a lot of people here who have reached amazing weight goals and I would like to know what people have been doing that has been working for them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
