Go vegan. Switch to a whole foods plant-based low fat diet.3

I need to lose 100lbs too. I have high blood pressure.
If you stick to the MFP plan, you will lose weight. The issue is motivation. Find a buddy to talk to about it and will hold you accountable and be supportive.
Good luck!6 -
You can do this. I've lost a total of 72 pounds so far. Use the app; it really helps. Log all your food, but don't overreact if you go over your calorie allotment. There's a big learning curve so don't be too hard on yourself.7

Baby steps. Don't make 8 million changes all at once. Start with calorie counting and once you get comfortable there add in some walking, then start adding in some moderate exercise if you want, etc. I lost 90 lbs and I think if I had changed my entire lifestyle all at once I would've gotten burnt out. It's so important when you have a lot of weight to lose that you lose the weight in a way that is sustainable long term.11

i am trying to lose 75 so i know how frustrating it can be. i am working very slowly. i have lost 26 so far, and i hope to lose the rest by the end of the year. don't have expectations of losing it all quickly.2

There is really no secret formula and there are no tricks. The best advice is to eat less and move more. And the moving more part (to the extent you can), is really key. It will loosen your joints, it will stimulate your base metabolic rate, and it just FEELS good to move around more! Don't cut your food or increase your exercise to an extreme or you will likely burn out. Remember that you didn't get fat in one month or even one year, so losing it all isn't going to happen quickly either. 100 pounds will take a year if EVERYTHING goes perfect. In all likelihood, you are probably looking at about 18 months. But that doesn't mean there isn't incremental progress and benefits. Yeah, you aren't going to be 216 this 4th of July. But you won't be 316 either. If you could sign up to be 20 or 30 pounds lighter by then, that would be a good thing, right? You've signed up for a long journey, man, but it all starts with the first step. (In fact, in this case, it can LITERALLY start with a first step--go take a walk to kick off the new you!!)6

I'm fighting diabetes as well. I've cut my carbs started eating 5 small meals watch my portion sizes and I've given up bread and red meats. I've lost ten lbs so far. Also I started walking in the afternoons when the weather is good. Good luck if you need anyone to talk to I'm here for you.

All of this. Too many times I've tried to overhaul my entire life by the flip of a switch. It never got me anything but heavier.
Every mile walked, every pound lost is its own victory.

If you're drinking any alcohol, sodas, other sugary drinks, substitute it with water and/or unsweetened green tea. The withdrawals will suck but you'll thank yourself later. I cut all that crap out back in December and have lost a little over 35lbs now.2

How did you loose the 90pounds?0 -
There is one secret:
A calorie deficit2 -
I've lost 39 of a projected 124 lbs. Progress is slow, but it's workable.
Remember: the closer your food choices are to the way you plan to eat when the weight is off, the more sustainable this is going to be and the easier it'll be to maintain. In other words, don't get into the mindset of "no more chocolate for me until I lose the weight" or "as soon as I hit goal, I'll have ice cream again." This isn't meant to be a punishment.
I'm not talking about temporarily abstaining from foods you have a weakness for. There may be foods you have a hard time moderating right now. (Personally, I don't buy potato kugel anymore, but once a week, I have a small portion that I look forward to. I'll occasionally buy a small packet of jellybeans and savor it, but I don't get 2 lbs worth at the bulk store anymore. But I've stopped buying cheese, with the exception of string cheese, because I know that if I am alone with a half-pound, I will eat it in less than a day. Still have cheese pizza, mind you, but I only buy what I want to consume at one sitting.) That's different for everyone.2 -
Eat less, move more.
I'm down 104 lbs following that one simple rule. I still eat pizza, tacos, candy... but in moderation. Make a conscious choice when it comes to food. Know you're not going to get to move as much today, plan meals that are higher column and less calories (big salads, lots of veggies, nice amount of protein). It's all about balance.5 -
This can be done! I've lost 175 Lbs in about 14 Months and have 88 left to go. When I started (very small), I weighed 378 Lbs and am just about to break the 200 mark. My health is better, I feel like a person. Before starting my journey (never diet), I thought I was too old and too fat to lose the weight. If I can do this and completely change my lifestyle, I think anyone can! You do need to be motivated. When I am having a bad day, I just remind myself that I am doing great and how much I've already accomplished.
I wish you the best luck on your journey.6
