Does anyone have tips

Hello and welcome!

Some tips from me:

• Don't try for fast weight loss, work on permanent weight loss. To do that, focus on developing new, long-term eating and activity habits that are practical, affordable, ideally enjoyable (but at least tolerable) for you as the unique individual you are.
  
• Other people can give you ideas to try, but only you can figure out the best solutions that work with your personal preferences, strengths, challenges and lifestyle.
  
• Half a percent to one percent of current weight lost per week is reasonable, with the upper end of that range only if quite obese and ideally also under medical supervision for nutritional deficiencies or health complications . . . because fast loss brings risks in those areas. For you right now, that would be something in the range of roughly 1.5-3 pounds per week, with the 3 pounds being the risky/difficult end of the range.
  
• Make an easy-to-stick-with plan. Losing any meaningful total amount of weight isn't a quick project with an end date. It's going to take many weeks, months, maybe even a small number of years. Most of us can't stick with extremely restricted eating, deep calorie cuts, or punitively intense exercise sessions that long, let alone continue them forever to keep the weight off.
  
• Expect some scale stalls, mis-steps, and other speed bumps along the way. As long as you don't let any of that make you rage-quit (or make you try extreme tactics), and as long as you learn from what happens and adjust your plan based on the new knowledge, you can succeed long term.
  
• Corollary to that: "Perfect every moment" isn't realistic. However, "pretty good on average the
  majority of time" will work fine. Give yourself some grace.
  
• The quality of life improvement from success will be more than worth the effort, if your experience is anything like mine. Some benefits will arrive along the way - it isn't all about waiting until the end. There's magic in health improvement, in improved well-being, both of which come with progress . . . not simply in reaching some single magical number on the scale "someday". At goal weight, we're going to be pretty much the same human being, just lighter . . . and maybe with an improved sense of empowerment.

I started at a lower weight than you are currently, but still class 1 obese for my shorter height. That was over 10 years ago. For 9+ years, I've been at a healthy weight . . . after around 30 years pre-loss of overweight/obesity. If a hedonistic aging-hippie flake like me can do this, I think most average adults can, honestly.

Best wishes - I'm cheering for you to succeed!
