new here, gotta lose alot

[jdwooley14]

found this site when i was looking up the paleo diet and thought the character thing seemed pretty cool. im currently in the hospital due to wounds i had on my feet, so i cant start the diet till im out. according to a chart, i should weigh up to 199 to be normal since im 6'3, which means im overweight by over 600lbs at least, its horrible, ive tried dieting before, but it never worked out and i end up going back to my old ways, so once im out, im gonna try hard this time to eat better and work out more than before. sorry if i rambled on to much, hope this all works out in the end.

Good luck man, 600 lbs are a lot. Start with simple things like walking, then you might try running for short periods of time  it will be worth the effort!

Welcome to the Rebellion! We're so glad you're here! Walking is a great way to get started and it can really make a big difference - our founder, Steve, has written a lot of articles about the benefits of walking combined with changes in how you eat:

Do you have a game plan for your food yet? Or are you going to focus on walking first? (One thing at a time is totally okay!!)

 

Also, I'm so sorry you're in the hospital! That's no fun at all!    Hopefully it's something that won't keep you down for long?

my heel had 2 ulsers on it, so ive been unable to walk since jan 12, they are trying to get me able to walk again, its very hard, im only able to walk in little steps while im standing on atleast 50-60% of my weight.

 

i planned on trying the paleo diet while getting some walking in, when i can again that is

Hi! I’m new too, but we can be newbies and work on our goals together!! Let me know how I can help... wishing you a speedy recovery!

I'm not sure if swimming would be an option once your wounds heal? It's a great way to exercise and keep the pressure off your feet/knees. 

 

I'm also paid and signed up to the nerd fitness academy, best money I've ever spent. It's just one payment and you get lifetime access. I'm 31 and have struggled with weightloss my entire adult life. I've tried diets and different fitness plans but until the last couple of years I didn't know that mindset and having strong reason for making the changes is a huge game changer when you set out on something like this. There is a lot of info about this in the academy and I 100% recommend giving it a go.

600 lb is a lot but you can do it man. Just don't forget that it's a slow process. What you eat is the big thing. I don't have nearly as much to lose but if you need a partner to help keep you accountable, I'd be down. 

 

I don't know what your able to do but elliptical was helpful when I couldn't run and wasn't hard on my joints at all, just make sure you don't overdo it and ask your doc. Just take it slow and don't get discouraged.

 

It's a slow uphill battle but the hardest part is getting your mind right. 

 

Regardless, good luck! Newb here too.

[Sloth the Enduring]

Hey! I know what it feels like to start dieting and exercising and not follow through... I do that a lot too! This is a great community and it really helps you stay on track. I was gone for 5 years and now I am back to restart my journey! We can do it!!!

 

Hope you get better and out of the hospital soon!

Hi jdwooley14,

 

How's the weight loss coming along?  

 

Have you looked into the ketogenic diet?  Even better for weight loss because the higher fats keep one very satiated with few carb/sugar cravings (after the initial two to three weeks adaptation period).
