Hi, Dickerson , welcome.

I was 19½ Stone, disabled for five years and have lost 4½ Stone.

I lost stone or two while I was disabled.

Many of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Eating All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:

Hi John and welcome What type of exercise are you trying? if you can't stick to it for more than a few days I would suggest its not right for you.

I can't do exercise much other than walking as I had a stroke and my balance isn't back to 100% but walking isn't a problem. I bought a cheap pedometer and keep daily and weekly track and try to do more each week. I don't have a smart phone but listening to the radio on my "old"Nokia with headphones makes a daily walk more enjoyable LOL.

Just remember any weight loss will help your health, my being overweight was a major part of why I was ill, I wish you the best of luck with goal x

It's so hard isn't it. But you've taken the first step. Good luck.
