Finding me

Have you tried counting calories?

What are your stats? and your goal?

Have you tracked your calorie intake? Everyone needs to eat. Open your diary, maybe I can help with suggestions.

I’ve been there too. I thought I could never lose weight, that it was impossible. If you find it hard to restrict, put your stats into mfp, choose lose 1 pound per week and eat all the calories it gives you. It’ll be more than you think you can eat while on a “diet.” But do that, stick with it for a month and re-evaluate. You’ll be surprised. You don’t have to be extreme. That’ll just make you quit. Be consistent and persistent and you’ll gradually make progress.

Would it be nice to do it faster? Sure. But going extreme for two weeks then quitting for two months will ultimately be a lot slower than staying consistently at a small deficit.

Also I thought it was impossible for anyone to lose weight. Reading real success stories, those here and a few other places, not on sites trying to sell you crap ... that motivated me so much because I finally realized that it wasn’t impossible.

This is going to sound really snotty, but I really don't mean it that way, there's just no soft way to say it:

Don't quit. Keep going until you meet your goal, even if you have to switch tactics a dozen times.

You've got some good advice here. How about considering some part goals too? Almost 100 lbs is quite a number to take on in one "go"... Create rewards for yourself... after e.g. 10-20 lbs and so on, to keep motivated?
