You cannot keep this a secret and you cannot do this alone. Coming on this site and asking for advice is great first step. There are health…

Mistakes only have the power we give them. How we view them is mirror to how we view ourselves. Thomas Edison failed over 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. We always learn more from failure than we do success. So, pick yourself up, log your calories and get back in the game.

You're a beast and role model for us all!:drinker:

I've lost my weight with just being in a calorie deficit. I count my calories. Like magic when I stop counting my weight goes back up. I try to keep my calories between 1000 and 1200 during the week and up to 1500-2000 on the weekend. I'm a big guy, 6'4'' so the weight comes off when I follow the program. I am now a firm…

I have the highest respect for our Active Duty men and women. This is the Land of the Free BECAUSE of the Brave! My dad was an Air Force Lifer. I grew up in the military. Thank you for your service. First: forget all hype and rhetoric. Losing weight is the cheapest thing to do. It is all calories out vs calories in. You…

All these are great ideas to get over cravings. But I have to ask myself why am I craving. If I have a balanced diet there is no physical reason. It is all mental, aka , addiction. We generally have addictions to fill voids. Our drug of choice is food. Deal with it like any other addiction and don't expect it to go away…

That is a great article. There is only one reason I don't lose or gain weight. calories in vs calories out. I had a long hard conversation with myself asking why am I hungry all the time; I feel like I am starving. I came up with that "hungry/starvation" feeling is not about hungry at all. I am 6'4'' and I found out I…

All these are great ideas. I would add water walking while using light barbells 5- 12 lbs bicep curls, overhead press and overhead tricep press. As for being in public in a baithing suit: own it! You have just as much right to be in that pool as any skinny chick, if not more. At 335 lbs the fear of being fat in public kept…

I know where you are coming from. The weight room is scary. I was 335 lbs and I was sure all the buff guys were thinking "what is that fat guy doing in here?". In college I worked at a YMCA and was so intimadated I never went in the weight room. Then I learned it was 100% inside my head. All the guys in weight room are…

Crossfit. You're best hope is Crossfit. If you don't know what it is look it up. If there is not a gym near you their workouts are online. You can go as expensve/involved as you can afford or as cheap/simple as you want.

People go to the gym to focus on themselves. It's neither good or bad, it's just their "me time". When I was heavier I thought everybody was looking at me thinking what is that fat guy doing here where only fit people are supposed to be. Then one day I realized nobody in the gym even sees me or gives me a second thought…
