I lost close to 85-90 pounds, was 255-260, currently 160.
Steps to take:
Set REALISTIC Goals
Seek a nutrionist - Seek what foods are good for you and healthy, and what tastes you enjoy
Write down a health Journal of what you eat and how much you exercise
Burn more then you put in
Do lots and lots of cardio, lifting is good, true, but you need to do cardio because your trying to lose weight.
Former Fat Boy (Me) advice on what exercises will work if you want to lose weight:
Elliptical - Hour // Tread Mill - Walk for 40 minutes twice a day at a speed you can tolerate.. At the moment I currently walk at a 4.0 - 4.2 speed for 40 minutes on week days, and on weekends I'll do two sets of walking for 40 minutes. 40 Minutes of walking at a 4.0 speed ='s about 400 calories/70 Carbs. 1 Hour on the ellipitical doing 150 strides a minute is about 700 calories.. and at your weight you might be able to go faster .. say you can do 160 strides a minute.. I'd say you'd burn at least 750 calories in just one hour's worth of work and it's not that hard, nor stressing. Also, the hardest thing but most effective cardio exercise is the stair master, which is probably a little advanced for a beginner like yourself so you may want to stay away from that until you lose about 40 pounds?
Don't quit. Don't let others say you can't do it or your working hard. Be hard on your self, and realize that your going to have to bust your ass, you spent all that time gaining weight.. realize it make take that long to lose weight because chances are it's going to take awhile. Don't have cheat days where you eat what ever you want because eventually one cheat day a month turns into one cheat day every two weeks... then one every week.. then cheat meals every few days.. and eventually your back where your started.
Eat Protein - Tuna // Chicken breasts are both very good for you, you can eat lots of it and not gain weight. Stay away from Candy at all costs .. also stop eating cheese burgers, Frize, Pizza, ala a fat mans favorite food. Fuck the Peter Pan peanut butter and Jiff - Hello Natural Peanut Butter found in the same section as breads, bagels, and rice cakes are. O yea, rice cakes are bad to, stay away from them. Don't be afraid, eat that apple, eat the bananna, drink that water, No put the diet soda Away!!!. Don't rely on supplements, protein shakes, do it the natural way. Goodluck man, I will be waiting for you to be a FFB. Just remember, you have to eat, not eating may seem right and when you lose weight you may get excited but in the end, this just won't work and your looking for an easy way out when really you will put the pounds on real fast.
Final Tips - Stay away from cerials, breads, butters, chips, crackers, and anything with high counts of Trans and Saturated fats. Get'er done.
