Looking for motivation

Hi! Not sure where to start. Working on my weight for 4 years now, sw 344, lowest weight 196, CW 256, gw 180-190. I've been stuck at 256 for months now with zero motivation. Any friends, encouragement, advice, anything would be lovely

    You found enough motivation to create a user account here. Did you input your age, gender, actual weight today, goal weight, and a weekly rate-of-loss goal? If you did, MyFitnessPal then told you what some 4 digit number was the number of calories you could eat to lose weight at the rate of your goal.

    From there, it's a little effort to learn to use the recipe tool and the food database to log your food.
    It helps to know how to use https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list

    Other than that, it's all a matter of knowing that you are in a calorie deficit at the end of each day. Over time, that deficit turns into weight loss.
