I am 489lbs i cant stand for more then 15mins without my back killing me, my whole body hurts like all the time.
I know it wont be easy at this point in my life i need to do something or i dont think ill be around much more then a year.
If anyone can give me any tips i would be greatfull.
I'm so sorry you're in so much pain. My tip would be to not set a time limit on weight loss, but to input your numbers here on MFP and stick to the calorie goal. You don't need to exercise to lose weight, just be in a calorie deficit. The hardest part is just getting started, getting past the first hurdles of "what's the use?" mentality. Every pound you lose is one pound closer to a better quality of life for you, so put one foot in front of the other and march forward! I wish you the very best of luck
I know setting a time limit is bad all that. I know it my sound odd but i want to be able to start training for a spartan race next year i know its more then likely never going to happen but its a goal to try to work to all the same.
2 years ago I was nudging 300lb and couldn't walk across the room without crutches. In the last 6 months I've run 2 half marathons along with countless 5k and 10k. Next year I'll be running/walking/crawling a full marathon (along with 3 halfs) and my plan is an ultra within the next 4 years. So never say never, it's great to have a goal to work towards, whether that's to be able to walk a mile or a Spartan. Having my goals helps keep on track when I have a bad day.

Pretty much what the hospital has told has to me in prep for surgery also. Except I was given max fat and carb g to stick to.
Fish, chicken, shellfish, green veggies, greek yoghurt, berries, salami sticks.
I'd say eggs but read you don't deal with them well.1 -

I assume it's Ali.
Gonna do a search and find the threads describing it's use.
Found it. Has 2 l's

OP. Please read the thread and the warnings. Nothing wrong with Alli and it will help with weight loss, but the side effects are diarrhea, sometimes explosive with no warnings. So yeah, don't trust a fart.
Best of luck.6 -

Travel may cause water retention. I always retain water when I travel. Drink some extra water and go back to doing the things you were doing before. It'll come back off. Don't get discouraged.9 -

^^This.
It will go away in a couple of days. Don't fuss and just take it as a learning thing.1 -
So i dropped my calories to 1800 the 1st cuz of what the doctors said and what not but i find by the time it comes to go to bed starved. Most days before i dropped it i was lucky if i got to 1800. What the heck is up with that.1

I've been lurking in the background since day 1. Kudos to you @bjcrewe.
Perhaps you are hungrier because you're expending much more energy than usual due to all the packing and carrying of boxes you have been doing lately? The MFP way is to eat back some (or all) of those expended calories. I would add especially "if hungry" which you indicate you are.So i dropped my calories to 1800 the 1st cuz of what the doctors said and what not but i find by the time it comes to go to bed starved.
