I want to lose weight be have zero motivation and don't know where to start. I'm on pain meds and psych meds that increase my weight purely cause they make me hungry. I'm at a total standstill and hoping with some support I can increase my motivation. Hope u can help.!

Hey! Welcome. You've come to a great place to learn and get support. You can take simple steps to get started on your weight loss and then add more steps as you go along. 2 things that can help are drinking water and cutting out sodas and juices. Do you like to cook?

Thanks. I cook everyday. I'm trying to half my portions. I've got to get my weight down and lower my colesterel as I'm not doing well with that. I give up too easily I'm hoping t get some motivation from here. I have cut out soda. I just need to drink more water. Thanks for the tips and responding x

Yes, do start exercise and improve your diet. Eat healthy food such as low calorie and fats, eat healthy fast like fish, avocados, nuts,beans, etc.
