Morgellus Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Ok so, a bit about me. I'm 36 yrs old, 100 lbs overweight and just went through my second divorce. I need to change my life. Badly. I've done nothing of real value with my life except have two amazing kids who I love more than anything. My obesity has been dragging me down for fifteen years and I just keep making excuses. My blood pressure is way too high for someone my age and I have no energy and feel depressed all the time. My goal is to lose the fat and put on some muscle. I'm lucky that even though I'm enormous, I have some decent muscle from my job which is somewhat physical. I have a physical check at the end of October and my blood pressure is the only issue I'm worried about. I'm going to a doctor next week to get meds to get my blood pressure down in time for my exam. With all this being said, I want to get started but I make too many damn excuses. I put myself in this position and am struggling to get out. My max weight ever was 310, right now I'm at 280 and my goal is 180-190. I did some grocery some grocery shopping and am going to try going paleo but I do have a sweet tooth. I'm looking for support, straight talk, whatever. 2 Quote Link to comment

Morgellus Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I fell off for a bit. I passed my physical with the help of some heart pills(unfortunately) but good news is, I'm down to 270 just by cutting out sugars. I'm joining a gym on Friday called Blast Fitness in Mesquite, Tx. Anyone familiar with it? The depression has really been kicking my @$$ especially on my weekends without my kids. I end up couch surfing all weekend and not doing anything. Does anyone have any recommendations for beginner plans? I need to be able to see the results or I can get discouraged too easily. 1 Quote Link to comment

I need to be able to see the results or I can get discouraged too easily. http://www.blastfitness.com/tour-blast-fitness Seems to be a lot like Planet Fitness, which is good, I like the atmosphere, very easy going. If you are a couch potato on the weekends one things that helps me is that my gym has Wi Fi and I bring the ipad or iphone and watch tv shows on the treadmill or elliptical. Much easier to work out zoning out to Buffy re-runs As for seeing results quickly I wish I had the answer. It took a few months to see results for me, but I see them. Plus it helps if you can find away to make going to the gym or working out not a thing to make it to a goal, but just a fun part of the day (I know that sounds nuts but eventually I started liking going) Best of luck Quote Hardway Level 13 Half Orc ScoutStrength:8 Dexterity:8 Constitution:8 Intelligence:6 Wisdom:6 Charisma:7 Han Solo Challenge 20%20% Batroc Challenge Challenge 25%25% Malak Challenge 4%4% Link to comment
