Hi, herokj , welcome.

Weight loss is not all about motivation and masochism - if you "slim smart" it is not so hard!

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 Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:

Well you've made a start by coming on here. Read the info admin will send and jump on in. A good place to start is the 12 week NHS plan as it introduces you eating healthier and exercise. If you do the calorie counting check your allowance on BMI calculator rather than going for the general 1400 Cal's and eat to top end of it. Good luck
