Thanks everyone, lol :p I'm just complicating things. I will just focus on a caloric deficit like mentioned above.

@angelsv15 just now reading this. Thanks for the awesome advice.

Take a good dump early in the morning than weigh yourself. The scale always fluctuates by a few pounds. I would not go nuts about it. It's all about inches and how you feel. A muscular person can weigh just as much as a fat guy. But would you still say he's obese or overweight. Heck no :D don't be a slave to the scale.…

Lots of sex, squats preferably while having sex will tone those thighs kitty kat :)

Dude I currently weigh 298 lbs. 2 and a half years ago I weighed 198 and I was fit and active. I'm not looking at it as a mountain. I'm just trying to make smarter choices. I know things will get easier as I will begin to gradually lose the weight. The more weight I lose the better I will feel and the more active I will…

How about focusing on losing just 10 lbs for now. Or focus on being more active and making healthier choices. Don't focus on the mountain. Focus on the small steps you can take to climb that darn mountain. Good luck, be strong and don't be intimidated. A mountain and actually just be a hill.. It's all about how you see…

I think you should focus on breaking the cycle of misery. I know it's easier said than done but do little things to change your life and get your confidence. Make healthier choices through out the day. For example you could do a little more walking then usual by parking further away from your destination. You could eat…

Sometimes our body plateaus after the initial weight loss phase. We just have to try different things and keep our body guessing to lose more weight. I don't think you should beat yourself up about it. Everyone has been at where you are at now but the difference is what you do to move forward and not fall back into old bad…

Wow awesome responses. Dude you should take every advice on here and apply it to self. I think to sum everything up you have to really love yourself and appreciate who you are as person. Maybe you are not the most attractive person in the room but you are a good listener and people come to you for advice. It could be…

I think Kai green is awesome. I particularly like the YouTube video called a day in the Life of a body builder. I honestly like his philosophy on life and body building. There's no short cuts in life and he honestly had a really rough start in life and some how managed to turn his life around by channeling his negative…

Honestly people can't see what you weigh. It's really all psychological if you know you just gained a little bit of weight. Your weight will constantly fluctuate. Don't be a slave to the scale. Go by how you feel, the increase energy, the sense of accomplishment, the positive feedback you get from people who see how much…

I think you should not beat yourself up about it. Everyone has set backs. It seems like you know what your problem is and know what to do to get yourself back on track. You just need to do it. I think you should do what works best for you. Ask yourself, do you really need to logg every single thing you eat. Or just make…

And honestly be upfront with how you feel to them. If they are good family and friends. They will understand how you feel and come around.

Honestly if you are skinny, fat, healthy, attractive etc.....people are always going to find a way to try to steal your joy. Just remember that you over came your obstacles for yourself and not to impress them or live by there standards. If you do, you will never be truly happy. People can be jealous over anything. Just be…

I was into the shakes big time. I was even a herbalife health coach lol. But honestly it's a big pyramid scheme and to really profit you have to be good at selling and extremely out going. I enjoyed the nutritional club they had in my area but unless you are a eager and hungry entrepreneur who's naturally gifted at saling…

Honestly you can get everything you need just by taking a good multivitamin and eating healthy. You really don't need a shake. I drunk herbalife nutritional shakes for 4 months Substituting two meals with a shake and lost 40lbs. But I also did the same thing by eating Healthy. Lean protein, low fat, veggies and whole…

I've tried a lot of different things. To lose weight over the years and I realized that the only thing that works time and time is again is a proper diet. I stayed away from sugary empty calories with no nutritional benefits and avoided starchy foods. I ate lean meats that was high in protein and low and fat and ate…

I'm doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. Even doing as a guy is tough because we all have different fitness levels. Level one is good for beginners and honestly a really good total body workout. I'm doing one day on and a day of rest the next day for a total of 3 days per week with resting in between. With a proper…

I'm interested, I am a guy so I just use 10 lbs instead of 3lbs or 5. I tried it today and it was honestly tough but I would like to motivate you and vice versa.

@angelsv15, awesome advice. Any form of cardio as a close to 300lb individual is difficult but I will try to mix it up just like you mentioned. Thanks, I kind of don't mind the skii like machine they got in the gym. It could be quite boring but even after 15mins I am sweating.

Be upfront and firm with men in general . Your body is your temple and not that guys personal big ole drum :D. You don't ever have to endure anything that makes you uncomfortable. Honestly ask yourself if your sister or niece or daughter was in this situation. They tell you that they mentioned it the first time. What…

Honestly with men you have to be as direct as possible. Pull him aside and tell him that your uncomfortable with him slapping your big ole booty. Maybe not the way I said it but be upfront. I don't care how awesome of a personal trainer you think he is. Anything that makes you uncomfortable is a no go. You already told him…

Also try interval training. I use to jog on the treadmill to warm up for 5 mind, walk for 2 minutes and run at top speed for a minute and kept switching up like that for 20 minutes. Sweated big time and speeds up your metabolism because the body continues to burn calories afterwards like weight training. Normally when you…

Everyday I did my own thing and incorporated what I learned from exercise videos and the people I came into contact with while I was fit and active. Everything during that time was 100% psychological for me because I was ready for positive change. People admire the results but never understand the struggle it takes to get…

My weight ballooned due to life circumstances. I lost my job, apartment, and a few friends. I have been in limbo for 2 years now. All the people that looked to me when I was 190 lbs attractive and fit disappeared. My wife is my main support now. Mix things up is my suggestion. You are doing awesome to lose 120lbs. Try yoga…

It's a shame, these people flock to you because your positive results but I bet in the beginning they completely ignored your attempts. I admire your effort and the person in the beginning who fought hard to get where you are at now.

Awesome success story, I think I will start to incorporate some weight training in the beginning. Not really 100% sure of how to approach it. I have access at this moment to dumbbells and some basic gym equipment in my apartment complex. I will definitely emphasis more on weight training and incorporate some sort of…

Honestly you don't need healthy shakes. It's just mainly for lazy people like me who don't like to cook. I enjoyed it at the time because living life on the go, it was easy to make myself a shake. And they didn't suck and taste like booty like most bland health shakes :s . But as long as I maintained a healthy lifestyle…

First time was lifestyle changes. I ate consistently healthy Monday through Friday and only had one cheat meal on the weekends. I became more active by going out and doing anything that allowed me to walk and be more active. Learned yoga, excelled after only a few weeks thanks to Tony Hortons p90x yoga. I constantly mixed…

Balance is the most important thing. You will be fine. You personally know all your weaknesses and all your strengths. You can be your own worst enemy or your best ally. Continue to make smart healthy choices and continue to build momentum.
