If you really have 160 pounds to lose, there is one, and only one method that works. But you have to want it to make it happen. Eat fewer calories than you burn. That works every time.
You can lose 160 pounds by eating foods that are fuels to the body (protein and healthy fats, and eliminating most of the carbs you consume). Carbs are what makes us gain weight and make it hard to lose weight. You can also work with a bariatric physician near you and you can find one by going to: https://obesitymedicine.org/find-obesity-treatment/

I battle with weight as do many of my family members. It is not easy to lose the weight, but if you do the right things and stick with it you will find joy, happiness and health that you never thought was possible. Each day is a day of staying on track. Eating in our society is rarely to gain fuel, but it is our social way of life, our coping mechanism, and something we do when we are bored. We have to eat boring to get the true pleasure out of life.
