Throughout my childhood i've had a weight problem, and over the past few i've gone from about 180lbs to 250lbs, which has driven me into extreme depression (might be tmi i don't mean to be a pity party lol).

Recently i've decided that i'm done with the weight gain, i hate that i have this weight on me, and that im finally going to do something about it instead of living in my depression and making excuses. I've gotten and gym membership and am working on making the gym part of my routine, but i'm struggling with a few things.

I know that actually losing weight is entirely eating habits based, although working out and exercising does help. And everyone says oh just track your calories it's easy, but i actually have no idea how to begin doing so. is there a tool or something that i could use to track calories that works well? is it just a measure and keep a tally sort of deal? And how much less do i even eat? also as a side note, how do y'all integrate the gym into your schedule?
