Sirdoc81 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hello everybody! My name is Josh, I am 6'2 and weigh 410lbs. I have dieted and exercised in the past with some success, but it always ends in injury and falling off the wagon. I was at a consultation for Gastric Bypass surgery when I decided I can loose the weight on my own... I am not looking for a diet but a lifestyle change, I am becoming more active and am doing things around the yard and house (like cooking) for the first time in months. I am looking to learn how to eat and make healthier choices!! I'm sure several of you will hear from me as I seek to learn as much as I can about food and fitness and will always be excited to share my failures and success as well as my new found knowledge with everyone! Quote Donuts are bad and I don't want them..... Unless they aren't bad, in that case, please someone tell me! Link to comment

LittleMissSunshine Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 We all have to start somewhere! Good luck with your journey. A good friend of mine is a good distance into a similar weight loss journey - she was just told that she no longer qualifies for surgery. I hope that you can find similar success in lifestyle changes. Quote Lvl 0 - Human - Ranger [sTR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 0 | CON 0 | WIS 0 | CHA 0 ] Current Challenge *~*~* Battle Log Link to comment

Outlier Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hey Josh it sounds like you have the right idea about making a lifestyle change. Diets are just fad scams people fall into. If you're ready to take on the reality shift to change your lifestyle then you probably have the right mindset. Not that I know what the right way is. I'm still figuring things out myself. It's worth the effort though. Quote Link to comment
vengefulpear Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Just try and take it as fast or as slow as you need Gets lots of meat and veg with some fruit and you'll do fine Quote Assassin Guild Leader Trainee STR: 2 | DEX: 2 | STA: 2 | CON: 3 | WIS: 3 | CHA: 3 Current Challenge: Vengefulpear Revives!

STFU&TRAIN Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hey Josh it sounds like you have the right idea about making a lifestyle change. Diets are just fad scams people fall into. If you're ready to take on the reality shift to change your lifestyle then you probably have the right mindset. Not that I know what the right way is. I'm still figuring things out myself. It's worth the effort though. He sure does. I agree. Lifestyle change is the proper mind set. The word "diet" should not even exist in my opinion. What is a diet? If you look at mainstream media, internet, fitness mags, you'd be confused as hell!! We should be eating real foods in moderation. The rule I try to use is "if man made it, don't eat it". We see too many people going from the next "diet" fad, to next "diet" fad, usually there's a new one every year or two. It's not that "diets" don't work, it's that I feel they promote short term goals. they also only tell you WHAT to eat and not HOW to eat. Keep it up Josh, you're on the right track buddy!
