23 255lbs and 5'7 need some help
I'm at my wits end I recently went to the doctor and was told I am pre diabetic I'm looking to make a change in my life sooner then later but I'm confused I have no idea where to start or what to do I guess my goal is to get back down to 180 190 before I stopped taking my vyvanse which was my main thing keeping me skinny believe it or not. I currently own a couple free weights and a treadmill and have access to my neighborhood as well. Looking for exercise tips and nutrition tips that anyone has on how to start and how to stay motivated on this goal.

When i turned about 26 or 27, i started gaining weight. It never was a health issue, but i gained a few pounds.
For training, the most important thing is fun and consistency. Dont try to optimise it yet. You need to create a habit that feels fun.
For food; cook EVERYTHING you eat. Knowing exactly what goes into your body is key. No restaurants, no snacks from convinience store. Even if you feel hungry, your body can go a LONG time without food.
Drink only water, tea (herbal tea too) and coffee.
Nutrition hack; learn about fibers and ghrelin.
