Hello Everyone! My name is Bill!

I am a 5'11 male who has had a weight problem for a long time. I am currently 18 years of age and have always been big. At my highest weight, I was 212lbs (June 2013). I am currently 163lbs and need the help of this forum to help me fight the flab! I feel like every time I look at myself, I've gotten fatter! Anyway, yeah, my goal weight is 140lbs so hopefully this will help and I can get to that! I'd love that so much!!! The problem for me is that I can't run on the treadmill due to a particular muscle injury. Therefore, my course of action is usually to try and burn around 600 cals on the elliptical and then just restrict dietary calories to about 800-1000 cals worth of vegetables! Hope to speak with y'all and get your opinions and suggestions! Thanks!
 
I have never done any resistance training, no. I mean, I definitely feel my legs have gotten a lot stronger from the elliptical (I do go high resistance on that), but nothing further.
 
If you want to start adding in some resistance it might help you. You could add in some push ups to work your upper body (start with modified ones and work up to regular) and bird dogs are a great core exercise. Depending on your knee injury, you could add other exercises as well. Are you seeing a doctor or physio for the knee injury? They could make some suggestions that would be appropriate for your injury.
What are you eating other than the vegetables mentioned in your post? Your body needs a mix of protein, carbs, fat, etc. to function and lose weight. What country are you from? Most have general healthy eating guideline that are a good place to start.
