I need help. Need to lose 80lbs and I have back issues.
So a couple of things are required to explain my situation. 1. I am a 41 year old, 6.1 foot male who hovers around 275ish give or take. I have had weight issues since about the age of 24 but really my bad experience with food started as a child as my military dad would not let me waste any food. I'm talking about taking…

How to overcome lack of energy?
I guess a little story. I use to play ice hockey a few years ago and I loved it. I broke my hand and had to stop playing. Then came the back and knee issues.

Under calories? Question
I went to the doctor to talk about my Barrett's and weight loss. I think he is vegan because he strongly pushed that. I do need to eat better which I am trying. So I went out and bought a bunch of fruits and veggies and other healthy foods. I'm enjoying what I eat and for the first time ever started tracking what I eat.…
