    Strong wall of text. Anyway, if he is not supportive, then drop the loser. Plain and simple. You only have one life. I

    Create a diet that is based around protein, carbs, and fats. If you can't use the treadmill, then don't use it. Use other equipment like the elliptical. You're doing way too much cardio. Losing weight is like peeling the layers of an onion, if you start peeling off too much in the beginning, you won't have nothing to "peel" when you get deeper into your cut.

    So let's recap.

    1. Drop the loser boy"friend"
    2. Create a diet based around protein, carbs, and fats.
    3. Weight train.
    4. Start off with only 20 minutes of cardio post workout 3x times a week.
    5. Profit.

    I agree with Fitness Social. Eat RIGHT, dont rely on silly shakes or you'll just put it back on when you start eating properly again. Eat healthily and workout sensibly and you'll be fine :)

    Try to avoid the trap of deciding to lose weight, going to extremes, and then fizzling out. You might find you have an easier time if you make one or two small changes at a time.

    As for the SO, try sitting him down in a calm moment and explaining how you feel when he does things that sabotage your weight loss. If he feels bad that you feel bad, there is hope. If his attitude is that it's not his problem, then you have a larger issue that has nothing to do with weight loss.
