I used to be 275 - 285 lbs. (at 6' 2") 5 years ago. Started walking everyday and then started tracking what I ate via MyFitnessPal.com. Long story short I am now 225 lbs. and running almost everyday. |

I've always sat there on the couch and thought "I should start working out"...but never do and forget about it/disregard it.
for some reason the last week-ish, I've really kept thinking about it over and over. I didn't 'think' was all that fat etc, but after seeing pictures, I can definitely see myself as being a bit too big and needing to lose the weight. Especially when I read about what my weight should rougly be for my height etc. |
They all work if you put in the effort. You still have to eat right though.
|
I always get a laugh out of commercials for stuff like Bowflex. They show a dude getting massively ripped and cut just from working out with the Bowflex. ROFL Right.
|
yeah; that much of a rip is basically 90% diet. those dudes probalby have like 2% body fat or something ridiculously low.
if I can lose about 50-60lbs this year, I'll be stoked. at that point, I might try to gains some muscle mass |

don't underestimate 'just' walking either for losing weight and general health...if you sit at a desk all day (raises hand), regular walking is great
this may not be your thing, but this site allows you to record all your work outs and gives you points video game style to level up https://www.fitocracy.com/home/ i've found it helps motivate, and also keeps records of everything you do so you can track progress good luck |

I tried to seach /research some, but holy shit......there are probably 5000 websites that all say something different. that myfitnesspal.com thing looks pretty cool. when I start, I'll probabl use that as a tracker/tool. |

As far as diet goes, I really hate "dieting" because it seems so temporary. I've been doing paleo (well, close to paleo because I still eat beans) for over a year now. That has simply become the way we eat at my house and it works for us. We are "good" about 80% of the time or more and that made it a pretty easy lifestyle change. Whatever you pick, good luck! |
Make smoothies with a tablespoon of flaxseed oil and olive oil pre and post workouts. It helps with soreness and overall recuperation of the muscles.
You won't be as sore as you would otherwise. |
Oh and whey protein powder added as well.

Try The Rack:
http://www.rackworkout.com/?gclid=CL...FSWoPAodXC0A5A I got it because I like having an apparatus to work with. But it's just like anything else, follow the exercise plan, follow the eating plan (which is really just a lifestyle change) and you WILL see results. Myself I am 200 lbs. I started the Rack in July and slowly built up to doing the 12 week plan. Since then I can do a ton of dips and pullups etc. which I was never able to do before. But, I have not lost one stinkin pound. Which means I'm putting on some muscle weight, but I really haven't changed my diet that much...so I'm sort of looking better but still carrying the gut. If I really wanted to change my lifestyle, I'd really probably be pretty ripped. As it is, I look fine. but I'm 42 and I don't care to look like I did when I was 21 either... |

Go for a brisk walk of a mile to start...just do something. That will burn calories and keep you from eating out of boredom (major problem for me). |
