What should I do?

Hi, I certainly have empathy and understanding for your desire to lose weight. First, you should talk to a doctor and receive professional advice.

Now, I will tell you how I lost weight. I used to weigh about 280lbs at my peak. That was in 2006. I now weigh 170lbs and am very happy with my weight considering I am a 6’1” male.

Some simple, general things I did to lose weight that worked for me:

drink water, and lots of it - no diet sodas, coffee, tea, ONLY water

count calories - I was eating 1500-1800 calories per day, only eat foods with labeled calories

fat/protein/carbs - try to get most of your calories from protein, avoid fats first, then avoid carbs (99% of extra fat calories are turned to body fat, only about 70% of extra carb calories because they require more metabolism to convert) despite the low-carb trend diets, eating extra carbs is better than eating extra fat

Protein shakes - look into protein mixes, go for about 110 calories per shake, drinking one of these every hour between meals will substantially reduce your inter-meal hunger

Eat early - eat all of your meals early, try to eat your last food by 5 or 6pm in the day, don’t eat late, this increases the liklihood that the calories will be stored

Good luck
