yes it is called exercise. incorporate it and a lot of your health issues will go away. i am 65 and still in pretty good shape.

173 pounds eh? that's 78.something kilos. Unless your 3 feet tall, that's not fat.

I think you need some group that will support you in your efforts to change. Nutrisystem is obviously not right for you, but I have to believe there are other options.

You can try atkins diet for one month, that will do it, or just cut out all sugar and dairy, and exercise daily. Take an hour walk daily. You cold also go to overeaters anonymous.

Eat more vegetables and legumes.
There are alot of vegan recipes that make cooking and eating vegetables appealing.
Kettlebells are a good exercise if you can't get out and walk.
You will notice energy levels increasing and blood pressure and weight decreasing.

A 22 inch waist? 😯

I am on the Mediterranean diet right now suggested by my medical specialist. I will give it a go and hopefully, it works.....how about Noom? Any suggestions?

All the exercise in the world and what it comes down to is what goes in the mouth, or not. A person can literally do nothing and lose weight, I've done it. Not sayin you should, just an example. Limit those calories immensely. Maybe find a restricted diet that is compatible with the blood pressure.

Here is a place you can find online support groups for overeating:

It might not be what you need, though. Overeaters Anonymous gets at the inner reasons for turning to food for comfort. It is not about diets, I don't think. But the members offer support for each other as they all try to develop healthier eating patterns. And I bet they know about diets, and perhaps know about online support of the type you are seeking.

That's pretty big....
