I have quite a bit of weight to lose too, and I'm finding seeing a dietitian helpful. I've lost 20 lbs so far. She helped me set a calorie target and helped me figure out what actual serving sizes are, as opposed to what I'd been eating. I also keep a food log, where I write down everything I eat, and its calories. I review this with my dietitian. I meet with her once a month, which I find is helpful for accountability.

I'm also trying to start exercising by walking, but am having difficulty finding the motivation to get started.

Good luck.
