Your best option might be bariatric surgery
Check your insurance to see if it'll cover it. In 2017, I've lost 145 pounds.

Well I’m not like super fat. I’m 6’2, 240. A lot is muscle, but I definitley have a belly that won’t go away.
I put on some weight after surgery because i couldn't work out. I ended up trying that paleo diet and walking for an hour on the treadmill everyday. That definitely helped me
Over the next month cut in half the fast food, soft drinks, sugar and bad carbs. After a month cut all those things again in half. During the day, snack every couple of hours on a handful of mixed nuts, bananas, apples, etc. instead of Little Debbie's and Frosty's. Try lifting a little weight 3-4 times a week and walk every night after dinner or sometime during the day. You'll be surprised how quickly you'll lose weight. Also drink plenty of water through out the day and don't go back for 2nds during dinner.

It's a mental issues...
it's really as simple as stop eating so damn much. Also, eat better during the day, maybe a shake for breakfast and a salad or something similar for lunch during the week. Eat whatever you like for supper but in moderate portion size. Eat nothing before bed, on the weekends, do not limit yourself as much during the week and try to exercise by walking and maybe a few weights at first. Otherwise you will continue to be fat...You will survive, and you do not need as much food as you think...

Agree on it being mental. When I'm trying to lose weight I will have a powder Slim Fast shake. In the blender mix in a banana, milk, ice and you have a nice thick shake. Maybe an apple mid afternoon. Light breakfast and a reasonable dinner. Has always worked for me. This time of the year is a tough time to lose weight tho. Holiday food and less active in the winter unless you join a gym.
Listen to me
You can eat between meals. It’s actually good to eat throughout the day if it’s small and healthy as it increases metabolism. Boiled eggs, fruit for breakfast. Banana/fruit as a snack mid morning, small/healthy lunch, shake/fruit mid afternoon, and small healthy dinner. I did this during lint last year. I wasn’t overweight, but I wanted to lose what fat I had. I did this, cut out all fried foods, soft drinks, and sweet tea. Ran about 3 times a week. Drank about a gallon of water a day. Ate ice cream every 17ing night. Lost 15lbs. Went from 195-180. I’m 190 now because I love pizza and sweet tea.
ETA - id like to add no sugar added, non-fat, Greek yogurt as an awesome snack. I eat Powerful Greek Yogurt and it’s the ****. 22-23 grams of protein.

Try reading Wheat Belly Total Health by Dr William Davis. The premise is eliminating all wheat and grain from our diets. We don't get fat because of the fat we eat, we get fat from the insulin our bodies produce, or diabetics give themselves. Grains have the highest glycemic index which means it spikes your blood sugar the fastest and highest, so in response you produce a lot of insulin to get that glucose out of your blood stream. Now if you are exercising regularly, or have a high metabolism, your body will use that glucose, or energy. But if not, it will convert that to fat and store it in your belly for later use!
The diet is similar to Paleo and Adkins and such, and as said before, eat throughout the day and don't skip any meals. I lost 16 pounds the first 2 plus months and flattened out a bit, then picked up my cardio and I work out now at least 5 days a week. I have kept off a total of 25 for over a year now and have leaned up a lot from where I started. I'm over 50 and have never felt better.
There are many different ways to lose weight and I don't like "dieting" because it's an up and down thing so take the whole "lifestyle" change. It's a balance of eliminating many of the bad things for us, eating smaller portions throughout the day, and EXERCISING regularly. Make sure you do both cardio and weight training, and if you are older than 50, or sooner, flexibility and stretching are important.
Dfferent things work work for different people and if you can get into some science and the why, this book I mentioned makes a lot of sense.

I lost 40 lbs in two months (Sept,Oct) by low carb'n....taking a break during Holidays and will start back in January
I find it easy to eat reasonably during the day. But at night, I get hungry as 17 and can eat enough to feed a village in Africa.
Have you ever seen that tv show called - My 600 pound life?
It usually comes on tv when im eating fried chicken or something else bad. That show always motivates me to eat healthy.

Easy- 80% of wt loss is eating less calories and 20% exercise. Stop eating carbs and sugar and the weight will fall off. Don't diet - must make a lifestyle change
Go on the Dannon/Taco bell diet.
Drink a couple cups of coffee and a apple for breakfast. If you ain't crapped by now, drink another cup. Go crap.
Eat one or two tubs of Dannon yogurt for brunch. Crap again, maybe again.
Taco Bell for lunch, probably crap before getting out of store. Fart. Farrrtttt, Far-ooops that one has a tail. Go ****! Go back to work and listen to innards percolate for an hour or so. Go **** again.
3 pm is here, yogurt time again. Might want to be close to crapper now.
Spend rest of day being scared to death if that is a fart or not. **** again before leaving for home.
Yep, now it's time to hit the Taco Bell drive through again. Go big, don't be scarred.
Make it home and **** 4 more times and go to bed at 7:30. Sleep (hopefully) and wake up next morning and do it again.
Repeat for one week. And be amazed at the scale results.

No offense but this is bad advice for many. Waiting between meals to eat 3 times a day is miserable and you'll end up getting hungry and make terrible decisions on what to eat.
Eat a couple hundred calories several times a day and you'll almost never feel hungry and you'll take in less calories per day. I only eat a "meal" when people make me, like a business dinner or something. Other than that just steady fuel all day.
Also, DO NOT DRINK YOUR CALORIES. If you can drink water and other zero-to-low calorie drinks you'll cut out hundreds of calories per day, which can be a ton of weight over time.
Exercise is good for you but it won't make you lose weight.
You cannot outrun your diet.
Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym.
Good luck to all.
Somewhere there is a new study about best diets for blood types. Mine is O+ so the ketogenic diet works best for me. That is a high fat low carb. I love it cause I can have much meets, eggs and cheese. It also includes bacon and regular salad dressing. And for those who think it would cause a higher risk of heart disease, wrong. Cholesterol levels actually went down. Lost 50lbs with little exercise. Most will get the “Keto Flu” two weeks in which is usually bad diarrhea and some upset stomach.
Here is what I would encourage everyone to look into. you have to keep in mind we are all individuals and there is no such thing that works the same for all individuals.
but what I would suggest is to just read a few paragraphs of The South Beach Diet. The Author is a heart surgeon.
I don't recall the exact chapter but it is one of the first few. what they guy says is the fact that everything we eat converts to sugar. without sugar, we die.
the question is how we allow it to enter our bodies. if you eat a food that is high in nutrition and fiber, the digestion is slow. it takes longer to digest therefore your pancreas can take the sugar in incrementally therefore create enough insulin to convert the sugar to energy and send it where it needs to go.
but when you eat ice cream and white bread etc..., the digestion of those type of foods digest very quickly and create a burst of sugar that the pancreas cannot deal with . the excess sugar the pancreas leaves behind goes to nothing but fat.
And here's another caveat . when you eat foods low in mineral and vitamin content, you are not giving your body what it needs therefore you will be hungry much faster after eating because you are not giving your body what it needs. Also, healthier foods take longer to digest therefore further prolonging the time it will take for you to get hungry again after eating.
there is NO reason to go hungry and NO reason to not eat lightly between meals if you do it the right way. skipping meals (especially breakfast) is the stupidest **** anyone can tell you.
when you eat the right stuff, you can eat right and not go unsatisfied. fruits , veggies. meat & ****. replace white rice, taters & white bread with lima beans, black eyed peas, quinoa, & gluten free crackers .
live well and be happy.
