Need a lot of help, to lose a LOT of me

Options
I'm 23 years old and 290 lbs. I want to lose half of myself so that I can live to a ripe old age and have children I can actually keep up with one day. My boyfriend will not let me have kids until he knows I am at a healthy weight, which is completely fair and appreciated because he wants the best for me. I have struggled with being overweight nearly my entire life so I do not even know how to begin. I have no idea what it is like to be the weight I am supposed to be and so there is a definite fear of the unknown in starting the commitment to real lifestyle change to reach better health. Struggling with depression and self loathing never helps either. But I want to do this. I want to thrive while losing this weight, but I know I need a lot of help. Help?

    Hi there!

    I'll help be some motivation. I myself need to lose a ton of weight - I'm 23 and 258 lbs. I also struggle with depression and also anxiety, so it's not always easy.
