I agree, especially for myself.
Any sugar 3x my cravings and hungry.
A piece of fruit okay but any process sugar or corn fructose is a killer.

You’re fat and you’re gonna die soon.

So you know what you’re doing in the gym.
I’ve been at it for over a year now at 53 and the gym is my favorite thing in the day. Just start with the basics 3 days a week….don’t do shite you hate (ie cardio). 3 or 4 lifts tops from Greyskull or SS template plus anything you enjoy. The gym needs to be fun…not a chore.
At your weight you don’t have to starve. Nail your diet and protein through afternoon…eat what you want for dinner just not a huge amount.
Walk every day…the weather is getting nice so find a podcast or audiobook and just go.
Do this for 3 months and I guarantee you’ll see results, feel better about yourself and get excited about it. From there build in as much or little as you want.

I started training in Krav Maga 12 years ago. Was 207. Now 192. Just turned 69. Find something you like and can stick with. I find the group setting keeps me engaged. Hard to do workouts on my own. Do try to walk on off days. Target 7,500 steps/day. Walking is the single best thing you can do!
Good luck!
Good luck!

This is cold as ice, but it's accurate. You're just a straight shooter with "Upper Management" written all over ya, and that gal in yer avatar has some big, creamy hangers that give me all the motivation I need to do whatever it is I need to do in life. Mahalo, my friend.
To the OP, get a damn blood pressure cuff for home and use it. Also get on some antihypertensives, also do some or all of the shite these other people mentioned. This process is "marathon" like, not a "sprint" , so give yourself some time, BUT DON'T frick ABOUT ANY LONGER, and it won't be linear either, you'll likely feel like a monkey fricking a football for a while as you go back and forth on certain things and find your way, but since you used to adhere to some kind of healthy training habits in the past, it shouldn't take you as long as it would if you were truly starting from scratch. Consistency is your best friend here. Start out with some new routines that are easy, fun, and repeatable. Be consistent above all, and over time, scale it up. It is truly impressive what a person can accomplish in 2-6 months with consistency.

start simple. Every day:
1. Deny yourself something you want, whether food, entertainment, etc.
2. Do something you really don't "feel" like doing.
You need to remind yourself that you can be disciplined like you used to be. Do #1 and #2 every day for a few weeks and you'll remind yourself that you can do anything, or not do anything, that you want to do.

Where are you checking your BP? At 260#, make sure the cuff is properly fitted (too small of a cuff can lead to falsely elevated BP’s). Get a real BP cuff for the upper arm, don’t trust a forearm/wrist reading.
Any leg swelling/edema? I’m not a fan of diuretics like HCTZ but your diastolic (bottom number) seems more elevated out of proportion to your systolic (top number), so they may be an option for you (risks of dehydration, hyponatremia/low Na).
My advice:
1) quit all booze. Get a sleep study (OSA can lead to HTN, stroke/CAD).
2) eat better, two 15 minute walks after lunch and supper, and check BP 2-3x a day and record in logbook.
3) if BP still high after a week or so, get on meds (probably would start with an ace inhibitor or an ARB)
4) dial in diet, start strength training, increase length of post-meal walks.
TRT, ozempic, etc. can be useful, but that would probably be step 9 or 10. If you have sleep apnea, getting on CPAP would treat the underlying issue, as opposed to treating the symptoms.

Solid advice. A sprinkle of cialis is also helpful for BP. I had my annual pcp appt yesterday had BP was 122/70

Preach
My wife’s friend signed up for the gym and a personal trainer. The trainer took a 50 yr old untrained woman and had her doing an hours worth of steps, lunges, medicine ball stuff, bands, etc. it was like she as trying to show how many random exercises she knew and could throw at her. The woman was so sore she couldn’t go back for days and equated it to a torture session. She dreaded it.
One cool thing about the LP programs is if you get your starting weight set and stick to the program you can work into it with very little soreness so you come back the next time. I was surprised as a beginner how much fun it became trying to push extra reps or weight over time.

For every 30-40lbs of weight you lose, you gain about 1 inch in penis length. So if you lost about 60lbs and got around 200lbs you'd gain almost 2 inches in length, plus increased stamina and drive..
