Update and question
So, I've gotten a membership at Planet Fitness, the so called "Judgement Free Zone" because all the other gyms I visited, the denizens did not look very friendly. LOL. They have free personal trainers, but that's only as far as it goes to get a routine setup. I go for my first session this week.
Anyway, I did get from bb.com that 90% of weight loss is diet. As it says in my profile, I'm a pretty big guy. My appetite gets me into trouble a lot and worry that it may cause me problems with the weight loss. I'm a little in financial straits right now, so I can't get too many different supplements, but am willing to invest in a couple.
I've looked around for like dietary suggestions. I'm tempted to go to a nutritionist to get advice for what to eat. What would you guys suggest?
Another issue I face is that I'm minimally medicated for my bipolar disorder which wrecks my motivation to actually get to the gym. It's been a factor before and I didn't take the appropriate effort to see what I can/should do about that as well. Any thoughts?
I appreciate everyone's warm response to my other post and feel reasonably better about posting this post here versus on bb.com.
Hope to get some good advice / info.
RD

No worries. The closest thing to a supplement you might need is oatmeal.

Everything you need to know about nutrition is in the sticky at the top of this forum
BEGINNERS/NEW MEMBERS -> START HERE!
Watch your calories, watch you macros, move heavy things, keep motivated and you'll be golden.
The only supplements I use are a multivitamin and fish oil.
Welcome and good luck,
Bob

Don't listen to this guy... oatmeal is not a supplement. It is food. 
The only supplement you really need is water. 
...and more water.
