Advice For A Newbie

Hey guys! I’m starting my weight loss journey and wanted to seek out advice from anyone who may have some. I started going to the gym on Monday and I’ve been try to eat less and better for the past ~2 months. When I met with my doctor in August, my weight at the time was 213lbs. As of Monday, my weight has gone down to 201.4! It’s not that much progress but it’s better than none. My goal weight for now is around 170lbs and if I’m not satisfied with how I look completely I’ll go lower.

I’ve started tracking my calories via an app called MyFitnessPal and since I’m wanting to lose about 2lbs/wk it’s put me at consuming only 1,380 calories per day. I’ve also started a gym plan that involves going at least three times a week and my boyfriend built me a gym plan for each of those three days and it mainly focuses on my core and legs/glutes since those are my main areas of concern. I don’t know much about the dieting aspect or supplements/vitamins or anything like that so some tips for that would be really helpful. If there’s any gym tips that’d be really helpful too! Thank you!
