Hi everyone ! I just started yet again a diet. I think the reason i failed the other times is because I had no support and that's why I joined this forum. My heaviest weight was 260 lbs, I'm currently at 225 lbs and would like to get down to around 145. I'm also looking for tips as I live in a west african country where people eat rice every day and don't really care about healthy foods and vegetables so I'm looking for a way to eat the local food and still loose weight.
Nice to meet you all !

Hi! Welcome!
My advice is of course that you should try to find some sources of vegetables and fruits to add to your diet. What you can do is try calorie counting. There's a whole sub forum dedicated to it, and it's something that I have done very successfully for weight loss.

Best wishes with your weight loss journey!
