there is no easy answer. you have to make up your mind to stick with it and just keep trying. I too was at my heaviest when I started just two weeks ago, so far I'm down 11.2 pounds and going strong. I know my normal breaking point is coming but I'm determined not to let it get me off track this time. I'm hoping by using this website and talking to others who share my struggle I can achieve my goals this time. Have faith in yourself and I wish you the best! 

I think everyone needs to have that "WOW - I don't want to live like this anymore" moment. The moment that inspires us to make meaningful, long-term changes. Until then, many of us diet off and on, and sometimes even get good short-term results. To turn those short-term results into long-term lifestyle changes, most people really need that "WOW" moment. Is this your moment? It can be, if you so choose! And you have a whole community of people here who will cheer you on the whole way. :) You can do it! 

Thank you both for your responses. I know that I'm in a really bad place and something has to change because I simply can't live like this anymore. All your support and care is greatly appreciated. 

reading your comment, that was me last week,I am also near my heaviest weigh for ages, and I took drastic measures and now on Lipotrim Meal Replacement. I so agree with the others above, this community kept me on track till last June, then I had no internet and gained 1.1lb back a week. So stay on site, come on and chat, Drink water while chatting, it will help make you feel full. YOU WILL DO IT,
