<human>: Hey everyone, this may just be me being pretty dumb but im just getting started into this whole ordeal so bear with me.

I've been reading everything I could and as it seems to be the consensus, BMI isn't too great of a definite reading of anything. I am struggling to figure out what my goal weight should actually be. I dont want to overdo it and be unhealthy but I also want it to be good enough that I am making progress.

Currently I am just starting with monitoring my calories through MFP and keeping it at about 1700-1800 a day. I was never huge or anything but I'd imagine my usually day was 3000-4000 before i started to care whatsoever. I've cut soda altogether (which has been surprisingly easy considering the amount of Dr Pepper I used to drink).

Its also interesting because I currently work at mcdonalds and thus have started to actually consider what I am eating for my break. After actually reading into it a bit I am completely amazed at how garbage this food actually is for you. I thought i was doing myself a favor by just getting 2 small cheeseburgers but little did I know thats about 700 calories on its own and eats up almost half of what i want to eat for the day. Ive started just getting a bottle of water and a fish filet which comes out to only like 360 calories and i sometimes get a small fry if my calorie count is too low for the day but I feel surprisingly fine usually. I know eating Mcdonalds like i do isn't the best choice but I am working with what I have. Monitoring what i eat while at work seems to definitely be something that can be okay after all.

On the bright side, I am a student and the job makes me move around a decent bit and i end up walking quite a bit being on a college campus. We will see how it goes for the first month or two of trying to eat better and move onto a gym after that considering I have one so close...at least thats my plan.

Anyway, sorry this ended up being so damn long but...

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: want to make sure I'm not undercutting myself on calories in an unhealthy manor alongside my sort of forced situation with mcdonalds
