but not sure how to start or what I should or can eat. I belong to the YMCA and have been going to a step class twice a week. Can anyone help?

Great start! The recommendation is at least 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week. Add another workout session to your step class and you are on your way. Try adding some strength training to tone up your muscles.
What you should / could eat - you need to be looking at your entire diet. You should be eating enough calories to fuel your activity level (at least 1200 per day... more when you add exercise) - as long as this is a reduction of your previous calorie intake, you will lose weight. These numbers get tricky, so focus on getting the food pyramid recommendations, and get used to counting calories. Focus on the one habit, then tweak your calorie intake later. (Stop drinking your calories to start - there's a lot of empty calories in sports drinks, pop, smoothies, fake juices, etc - best to stick to water, coffee, tea, and milk until you get the calorie counting down.)
Also, if you carefully watch your portion sizes (measure them out if you have to), very little is off the table as to what you can eat.

i go to the gym 3-4 days a week and lift weights you do 30 -40 reps at a low restistance and you should go on a low calorie diet like 1000-1300 cal a day and afterr you lift weights do cardio work out for 30 mins and that should work

fast food is salty food if you cut back on the salt in a few weeks youll be able to better taste the natural salts in food and may not crave the junk as much as you used to
