290 is not bad. It could be way worse. You need to shock your body. Start tomorrow. Wake up and do it

Bro,
I hope things are good for you. 290 at 6'0 ain't no joke. I was 275 at my highest at about 6'0 as well and I felt absolutely terrible. I've dropped a considerable amount since then but still have some ways to go.
With your work hours, I think your best bet is to focus on your diet. Go for high protein, high fiber and complex vitamins and minerals. Lots of water and when you can, walking. Don't even need to sprint or anything like that but just walk. 30 mins a day would really be all you need.
As the weight drops you'll have the inertia to keep going and not revert to your old habits
Make these changes now as it'll only get harder later on. In 6 months of concentrated effort you could realistically shed 40 lbs.
You made this thread a year ago. In a year you could near 225-230 if you're focused. Just take it one day at a time. A year is broken into months, which is broken into weeks which is broken into days. 1 day at a time.
We rooting for you breh.

The last two days, I've tried walking on a treadmill at a 12 incline at 2 miles per hour, jumping up to 2.5 after 30 minutes, and I have burned over 1500 calories in the last 2 days.
I have also been intermittent fasting, and so far I've lost 5 pounds in the last week. My eating window is 4 p.m. - 8 p.m.
I've been getting some pretty good advice from you guys, and I'll be sure to post the ups and downs. I just wanna get my life back

I cut out beef/burgers, pasta, breaded chicken, and started drinking more water, but still struggle to lose weight for some reason. I know I'm not working out anywhere near as often as I should, but I thought I would experience some changes at least

I lift weights every now and again, but it's not often. I use my breaks during the weekdays to run some errands, so I don't end up having to run them on my weekends off
That schedule. How consistent are you with your workout? Are you counting calories?

I get my protein from grilled chicken, turkey, mashed potatoes, and dark green vegetable juices occasionally.
How much downtime in between routes?
That schedule not gonna help you get any momentum
I really think 3 days is minimum to get any kind of momentum. Anything less than that is really just maintenance.
I need to build my endurance back to where I was going 5 times a week.
