Where to start ?
I've had a gym membership for awhile now but never really put it to use. I'm 5'8 and 177 pounds. My goal is 150-155. I don't really know where to start as far as exercise goes. Is it better to focus on cardio when trying to lose weight or do a combination of cardio and weights ?

My father the diabetic
My father has been a type 2 diabetic for as long as I can remember. He has diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and he has a skin ulcer on his leg which is made worse by all of these issues. He refuses to believe that his diet has anything to do with these problems. He has said how a doctor told him that even if…

Which gym ?
I have contacted two gyms that i'm considering joining but i'm not sure which one to go with. Ymca - $39 per month. You must pay six months or a year in advance if you don't want them taking it out of your bank account monthly (which i don't) The hours are Monday - Friday 445am to 10pm. Sat - Sun 7am to 5pm. It's always…

Thoughts on what i'm doing ?
I was using mfp for awhile and it was working but then I got off track. I gained back all the weight I had lost. So what I'm going to do this time is first concentrate on staying under my daily calorie limit then add in exercise then worry about cleaning up my diet. Thoughts on that and/or any advice would be helpful.

Why do people think it's okay to make very rude comments to a overweight person ? To their face or online ?

Fitness equipment is too heavy
I bought a elliptical machine about half a year ago and i have been using it some but not as much as i thought i would.

There is a company around where i live…
