hi, im new advice please

Hi everyone, i was wondering if anybody could give me some advice re losing some body fat, I'm 5'2 and weigh 77.3kg and a size 14, now I'm not really concerned how much I weigh because I know I do have a little more muscle than some of my friends, but I would love to cut some body fat, I went to a gym recently hoping that they would be able to point me in the right direction however they were as useful as a chocolate tea pot, I have never been to the gym before and find it quite intimidating as I really don't know what I'm doing, I work evenings in an office and have noticed that I have ballooned since starting, I used to run a little about 5 years ago but still never felt happy, I would love for somebody to give me an idea on what sort of training I should be doing and also what sort of diet I should be eating, I think this is the main factor in my weight!! Thanks in advance 

Hi Kate welcome to the site.
 
You're in safe hands this is a very friendly place.
 
I would advise you to post up seperate posts in the diet and training sub-forums to gain maximum response.

Hiya Kate welcome to MT,
Wilks is right you will get a much better response + more advice for what you need in the weight loss forum post your story there :)
I am losing weight too so will probably chat again soon!
