UK male Teacher here looking to lose a significant amount of weight and gain more energy/feel better. I let myself get this way through being lazy at home after a long day at work.

Tried calorie counting before and it worked so this time I'm going to stick to it. Anyone similar want to add me and support each other?

Definitely need tips on the exercise front. Especially concerning weight exercises.

    You sir! Are not alone. I also need to lose a significant amount of weight. Over 100 lbs in actuality. You may feel free to add me and message me when you see fit. c:
    Exercise wise, I'm doing Stronglift 5x5 program 3 days a week and in between those days I do an hour to two hours of cardio. So basically MonWedFri is 5x5 and TuesThurs is cardio.
    If I can help you in anyway then don't be afraid to ask me questions. I'm still new but will try my best to assist you. c:

    Even though people will argue calorie counting doesn't work or isn't needed doesn't mean it won't work.
    Stick to it :) I've lost 35kgs using calorie counting I was on 1200calories a day for 6 weeks at a time and seen some pretty good results. I hope you get your goal and feel free to add me I wish you all the best in your journey.

    Good luck! I too am a teacher. I find during the busy day it is hard to eat well. Counting Calories helps me stay mindful and not overeat at the end of the day.
    add me if you wish.
