Hello! I am Rose. I am completely new to the Darebee community. I have seen the website before, but as I said, I'm brand new. Where do I even start, where do I begin? Are these forums free? How can I track progress? I'm trying to lose weight.
I am transgender/nonbinary, assigned male at birth, 6 feet 4 inches tall, eith a Size 14 Wide Male shoe, and at maximum weight I was 400 pounds. I am now currently at 345 pounds, trying to shed weight and burn calories down to a hwalthy weight of like, 250 to 300 pounds, trying to lose 100-200 pounds. I have hypothyroidism and I have no energy to exercise in the middle of the cold winter months, especially where I am at in New York State. Help me, please! I know I need to do a calorie defecit of like at least 1,000-2,000 less calories than usual. I am a school bus monitor and the children on my school bus call me "big back" which is apparently Generation Alpha slang for fat. I have been labeled fat/obese/overweight my whole entire life and it makes me feel so sad that I die a little inside whenever I hear remarks about my weight. I used to have esting disorders of overeating and undereating/anorexia/binging, but no purging. I am sober from eating disorders for 3 years and 14 days. I just... need help, and therapy is not free, despite me having Medicaid. I am veey sorry if I am oversharing. I am just atretched out very thin at work, and I have no energy at home because all my family does is fight and argue. My brain is Hell, I'm overwhelmed and tired, I had a migraine/headache with a Pain Level 7 for the first time in 300+ days yesterday night from 4:33 to 9:30 PM. I feel so tired. Too tired to sleep, to poor to quit, too obese to be fit. This is my first real job outside of a crappy Wendy's that I have been to, and I'll be getting a raise in mid-February due to me being with my school bus children transportation company for 1 year now. I just feel so lost and confused. If anyone has any advice on any of what I have said so far, please do not hesitate to comment. One of my goals this year is to finally lose my weight, 100-200 pounds, as that is how much i am overweight by. Please help.

Welcome to the hive @Rose777!!!

As @Fremen offered, the Get Started with DAREBEE resource is the best place to start. The most important aspect is to start off silly slow and silly simple and build a habit out of your goal(s). No one can fully understand what you are going through, but know that you are not alone. This community is full of kind and thoughtful people who are willing to listen or give advice where they can.
Enjoy your day! :hi:

Welcome to the hive!
Me suggestion for an easy start without much hassle and thinking around would be to choose one of the level 1 programs and just start to complete each day if possible:
This will get you going and lay the foundation for more demanding programs. Big benefit with programs in my opinion is that you don't have to think each day what to do, it's all already laid out.
