hey everyone
this is my first post here. Im looking to get some advice, help, support ect with this crippling weight problem I have had for all of my life.
2 weeks ago i started a half assed version of atkins, keeping under 20 carbs a day (excluding fiber) I do 10-20 minutes of the "gazelle" exercise machine a day (all i can do before my feet and legs give out) Last week my wife bought me a weight set at a garage sale. Its kinda old but it allows me to do all the exercises on the online weight program i found. Ive done a week so far of 10lbs on the bar doing 1-2 muscle groups spread out over a week.
about me-
im almost 30, spent my whole life eating what i want and as much as I want. My sport is video games and sleeping.
I went to the doctor last month because my chest was tight all the time and i couldn't breathe laying down anymore. He couldnt even record my weight because his scales wouldnt go that high, even with the magical extendo-matic weight attachment. he estimated im 400-430ish Im borderline diabetic and my cholesterol is 230. awesome. ><
usually i wouldnt give a crap about being fat. ive been fat my whole life it never really bothered me. Now its different. Ive got a lovely wife and a kid on the way and I dont want to die or be couch ridden like my parents were and miss EVERYTHING in life (except seafood night at the buffet)
my goal is 225 lbs. its actually how big i was in 6th grade lol
over 200 lb deficit. -@.@-
wish me luck!
