As a guy that is pretty much where you started right now (6'3'' 330lbs), what advice can you give me in terms of getting started with diet and excercise? I have not been very regular at the gym ( I have a 2 year old son at home, and my wife also works). I have mainly been trying to cut down on added sugars, and cut soda…

I have to disagree. Only he can determine that.

Jim, I'm 10 days in. I have really cut down on my sugar intake... I was a HUGE soda drinker, and diet was not good enough for me. I drink water and unsweetened iced tea now. Yeah, when I go out to eat I crave a coke sometimes, and instead of fighting it just to binge later, i order a coke and a water... you'll be amazed…

I can completely understand where you're coming from. It definitely takes discipline and it is certainly something you have to be committed to. I started to limit my intake of sugar because I felt like I was out of control and was finding that I needed to make a change.
-
Because i was providing SUPPORT which the OP asked for. So you're telling me that I shouldn't eliminate added sugar from my diet unless its medically necessary?
-
He never said sugar was poison... its his body, he can decide what he doesnt want to put in it. He was asking for input from people doing the same thing... not for a bunch of people to chime in against it...
-
Do you have to have a reason to want to eliminate added sugar from your diet? OP is asking for advice from people who have done the same thing.. not peoples $.02 about why he doesnt need to do it.

Stay away from fruit juices, they are full of sugar. If you want fruit just eat fruit and get the benefit of the fiber. I'm one week into the same thing you're doing. Its hard to eliminate all added sugars but as long as you are reading labels you will be ok... theres some things you just wont be able to avoid but you can…

If you haven't already, watch "Fed Up" on Netflix... I have been trying to eliminate added sugars from my diet...mainly by stopping soda etc. Yeah there's sugar in pretty much everything, but you really dont need all that sugar. When you eat things with added sugar you are not doing your body any good.. releasing all that…

I can really relate to you Born2Discover. I have been taking Vyvanse 40 for about 2 years now. I too was ALMOST a high school drop out. I hated high school. My parents didnt believe me when i told them i had trouble focusing in school and because of that my grades suffered and i basically skirted by. Not until I took the…

Before I started taking citalopram I had lost about 40lbs and kept it off for almost 1 year. I started taking it and CHANGED NOTHING with regards to my eating habits and gained about 30lbs back over 3 months. The withdrawal from the medication was the worst thing i ever experienced.....

I am interested as well.

I share the same goal with you. I am looking to lose fat and build muscle... any tips would be appreciated!

I've had a bodybugg for over a year. I just switched subscriptions from bodybugg to bodymedia just so I could start syncing the information to my MFP account. I dont have anything negative to say about wearing the armband. I feel more motivated on days when I do wear it, and I check it constantly... its nice to be able to…

1 Cup of Almond Milk 1 Medium Banana about 1/4 cup of strawberries, 1/4 cup of pineapple, sometimes I'll throw in mango if I'm feeling it... and a scoop of protein powder to finish it off.

At the beginning (351lbs) I wanted to loose 100+ lbs. I'm currently at 309lbs which is a total of 42lbs lost. I started tracking with MFP regularly when i had lost about 6lbs in the beginning. I checked in once in awhile, and not until recently have i began using it daily. Ideally i would like to be around 225ish, which…
-
Im suprised that you are only eating 1500 calories a day. This cannot be what MFP has reccomended to you. Have you edited your profile and stats and made sure you've chosen the correct activity level? I am "lightly active," I go to the gym 3x a week for an hour each time. I weigh 310 and am 6'4... MFP says that i should be…

Feel free to send me a friend request. I'm always looking for friends on here to keep each other motivated! I started MFP in January and have lost about 35lbs to date.

6'4 here. Currently in @ 307. Goal is to be about 225 but we'll see where i decide to stop! Feel free to add me, always looking for friends to keep each other motivated!
