Way to lose weight??

Question

I’m a bit overweight, it’s draining my confidence and making my depression worse. I hate looking at myself anymore. I’m just over it 🤷🏼‍♀️. I need to get motivated and get down to my goal weight so I can be confident for once. Can anyone share any tips with me to lose weight or some workout plans? Just anything please!

Answer

Im a nutshell: 
Try to cut out sugar. Reduce carb intake. More protein, eggs, fish, chicken, red meat is fine. Lots of veggies and salads. Almonds. Low fat yogurts with a little granola. Green smoothies. Log caloric intake. If your not huge into excersize start with walking, as much walking as you can do!
When Im trying to loose weight a typical day of food looks something like this.
Breakfast:
Wake up with black coffee.
Green smoothie (frozen mango, baby spinach and kale, apple juice and ice)
Hot Oat bran cereal sweetened with Truvia.
Half a bananna.
Snack:
Greek yogurt( non fat fruit on bottom is tasty)
A serving of almonds.
Lunch:
Tilapia or chicken served over leafy greens and other veggies, broccoli, carrots, onion etc with a chopped hard boiled egg. Dressing keep it simple, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt. pepper. The salad can be pretty big as lettuce doesn't have a lot of calories!!! Just make sure its leafy and green, Iceberg is basically water lol.
Dinner:
Protien of some sort, normally whatever the family has like tri tip, baked chicken, fish. Big serving of veggies. I like steamed broccoli with a little bit of chedder cheese, its my go too and easy. If we have made rice, potatoes or pasta I will have a very small serving of that. I like bread so if there's a bread I'll have 1 peice, just 1 lol.
Snack:
Other half of banana, half a piece of toast with peanut butter. 
Water lots and lots of water. 
One thing I've learned is to not completely eliminate a food group. Moderation is key!!! If my kids want Taco Bell I'll just order something small for myself or choose one other their "healhier" options. My husband and I really like eating out so if we go dine somewhere I just choose things that seem healthier and if I totally can't resist and just decide its a cheat day I try to remember to not overeat and aim to have lefovers, typically I'll eat half my meal and allow a desert lol. 
I've tried strict diets but can never stick to them. Doing what I've said above has worked for me. My heighest weight ever was 208. I was down to 140 in a year and maintained that weight for about 6 years. I got pregnant and went back up to 185. I was nursing so I had to eat a little more calories and try to loose slow as to not impact milk supply but I followed what Ive said above and was down to 112 lbs by a year and a half. Im pregnant and am already up to 165, as soon as I have baby I'm back to my better habits! 
I eat what I want, when I want when pregnant LOL so I've  been dealing with trying to find something that works for many years as I've had 5 kids already. 
Everyones different, so it might take some trial and error to find a new eating lifestyle that works. 
Good luck and sorry that this comment is so long!

Answer

I cut out sugar last May. No sugary snacks, no pop or juice, not even sugar in my coffee and I lost 20 pounds in 5 months!
Didn’t even exercise or diet! Just no sugar!
