I'm just looking for help, anything really. I'm a 32 year old male, who's 6'6" and probably 260lbs. I Googled weight loss and ended up here. There isn't much to my story, I got very ill early last year, found out I was diabetic, lost the toes on my right foot, part of my right lung, and most of the muscle in my right leg. Fast forward a year and here we are. I need to lose weight and get healthy. I hate the way I look and feel. I hate that I haven't regained any of the stamina or endurance I had (not that it was a lot to begin wit). I just hate where I'm at. I know things need to change. I'm writing this to try keep myself motivated, and I hope someone reads it and stays on me to keep at it. I need to change everything about my health. I don't eat a lot, but what I do eat is terrible for me. I'm kind of a picky eater, but that has to change. I installed a health app on my phone, and started to count calories. I'm using the pedometer to track my steps. I really don't have any idea what I am doing, or should do. I know there is a lot of bad information out there so I guess I want someone to point me in the right direction. I am terribly out of shape, and have very little endurance and strength. Any and all help or advice will be appreciated. Today is day one of the rest of my life.

Hi
I am new to the site also, can relate very much to your post. My "brother in law" had an accident a couple of months ago, fell in shower, cut leg,severed artery, he is 6 ft 2, he has gone opposite ay, lost weight. His son is 6 ft 7, I have also suffered ill health for five years, I am 54, never been overweight in my life. As far as exercise goes, obviously that is down to physio etc. I have just started on a rebounder, have to be careful with exercise, but did feel, like yourself, unfit. Initially I lost two stone, now I have gained 2 stone. My post earlier may help you, sticking to, for a woman 2,000 cals and then, as a bonus 1,500 . Hope some of this helps, and bet wishes. Barbie
