re: I'm Fat & Need Help

Hey baw I’m probably a little bit taller than you and 100 pounds lighter but I’ll help you if you take my advice

1. Order the gastrus probiotic and inulin right now and it’ll be here by Friday. Get a yogurt maker, I use my instapot. You need to make gurt asap
2. Go to Walgreens and ask the pharmacist for a box of bronkaid

Also if you wanna go to the gym with me I will show you how to lift weights

Make yourself a priority. Hang with like minded people. Nothing motivates like results. Lots of good advice here. Remember that you’re worth it. Some people eat from being depressed.

Calories in/calories out sounds simple. It’s not. Especially when you are eating calorie dense food. Not all calories are the same. You could probably eat 2200 calories a day and lose weight. You probably think 2200 calories isn’t a lot of food, and you are right if you are eating “junk”/calorie dense food. Try eating 2200 calories of protein and rice/potatoes/veggies. You will likely be full before you hit 2200 calories.

I’ve been on gurt the whole time

I make protein shakes out of it

It’s pretty lit

ETA: 777 does metformin work good for weight loss? Like better than berberine?

I'm not sure what your financial resources are, but consider hiring a trainer and perhaps paying for meal preps. Your mental energy will be needed to embrace a lifestyle change and having some of those pieces "done" for you, will help you get jump started. Having a trainer can help with accountability. You're less likely to skip a workout if you have paid for it and someone is expecting you - research has proven this.
Then once you get moving in a steady, righted direction, you can then invest some of your energy into the cooking or workout planning on your own.
Think of it this way...if you pay $500-1000 per month on this....you can pay now and invest in your health, or pay later. I assure you, you will pay later. Good luck to you!

We all have our struggles. You've taken Step 1, which is one of the hardest steps to make. You have admitted you aren't satisfied with yourself, you need help, and you want to change. That's really freaking awesome. Make a commitment to yourself to do better each week, and don't beat yourself up when you have a bad one.

Lots of great advice and support in this thread. I'd start by cutting down on your biggest vice. For example,
if you drink sodas, start with only drinking a few per week. If you snack a lot, only eat a single serving (lunch size) package at a time. Make a noticeable, but measurable change in your habits. Then whittle those vices down to special occasions. Go for a 20 minute walk 3 times per week. Gradually change your habits and lifestyle so you don't burn out or regress after a bit of time. And don't give up or revert when you "fail" yourself every so often. Make yourself proud of who you are and who you want to be.

Get the MyFitnessPal app to track what you eat and the MapMyRun app to track your workouts. They link together. Use the advice in this thread in these apps.

Some easy steps that won’t feel like a drag are drinking water and only water and LOTS of it. Get a large water bottle that holds a huge quantity and keep it nearby and every time you think about it, chug half or more. Don’t drink anything else at all except water, you will lose 15 pounds alone from drinking a shite done of water. Combine this with some walking through your neighborhood or on a treadmill. This will kickstart your journey in a couple of weeks you will have already made progress that will boost your confidence. If you can get through two weeks, next thing you know you’ll be through a month, then 2, then 4. You’ll have people complimenting you in no time!

I'm pretty much in the same boat as your fat arse. I know I can lose wieght when and if I put my mind to it, but sticking to it if often the problem when I have no real motivation.

Yesterday I started a game at https://www.dietbet.com/. I chose this one to do: LINK

It provides a little accountability. You bet like $35, and if you met the goal, you split the pot with the other people that met the goal.

What really motivates me is backpacking in the Grand Canyon. If you don't prepare and get into shape, you will feel mesiriable and maybe even hurt yourself permanently. I've gone fat before and the pain and suffering is real. So for me, to get truly motivated, it damn near takes the fear of death.

So plan a Grand Canyon backpacking trip. You have to apply for a backcountry permit 4 1/2 months in advance. So I use about five months to get into shape.
