Weight Problem (Please assist)

I walk inside my house when I'm on the phone or when I'm waiting for dinner to finish cooking. I've found that there are opportunities to keep moving besides regular exercise. (I can't believe I'm going to admit this...) I jog in place during commercials when I'm watching tv. Just keep moving. Every little bit helps. And congrats!

Good job man, keep going!
Like others have said, weights are your friend. You'll burn more fat through weight training than you will with pure cardio. You're familiar with the weight room, so re-introduce yourself. If you need starting ideas, look up the 5x5 program.

I, personally, know of people who are either at your weight or larger who work in EMS. You are being proactive by choosing to get healthy now...when it matters most. Keep at it, you are looking so much better. You have all the right motivators and I hope you get all that life has to offer you.

FYI - I love Jillian Michaels. She has helped me shed a lot of weight really quickly. I'd suggest starting with her '30 day shred', you can find it on youtube.
Good luck and stay with it, it sucks now but you won't regret in a year from now that you started today (or awhile ago in your case hehe). KUDOS!

Please don't take this as rude or condescending.

Lift heavy things often. Run fast and far. Eat in a manner that leaves you in a caloric deficit and at a ratio of 60/20/20 proteins/fats/carbs. Do this over, and over, and over, and over, and over. Over a period of time the weight will come off, lean muscle mass will increase, and maintaining a healthy weight will become easier. You did not pack on that weight in a short period of time nor will you take it off. Anything that drops weight rapidly is probably not sustainable long term. This is 110% foolproof and will always yeild a positive result. I know this sounds over simplified but it is the truth.

If you are unable to do this your problem is mental. To be succesful you must get your mind right. Only you can do this. There is nothing anyone can say or do to get your mind in the right place. You must desire lose weight must outweigh the pleasure derived from over indulgence. You must get to a point where you do not view it as optional. It will not be easy but it will get easier. To get in the right place to be succesful you need to get your mental game in order. If you suffer from psychiatric issues enlist the help of a professional to get those nailed down.

I wish you the best and hope for great success. If you want any further specifics let me know.

The best advice given in this threat is from BEN52 above my comment here. Read his post over and over again. That exact regiment worked for me and will work for anyone who finds the time for the hour a day work out and can maintain healthy eating. Good luck with the weightloss, keep up the good word.

Any update Burns? How's it going?
