It's a new year and all I seem to do is gain more weight. I'm to the point I run out of breath getting out of bed. I've tried exercising and walking but I hate to workout alone and working out with people smaller than me makes me feel ashamed. Two days ago me and my family went to Wild Adventures and I couldn't fit on the rides people were laughing at me and pointing fingers it made me feel horrible. Everytime I get the courage to exercise I feel like people are looking and judging me. If someone can give me some advice I would appreciate it. I don't know how much I weigh exactly but I know it's well over 400lbs.

People will give you a hard time, but if you are srs about losing weight, it's not as bad as you think. Just start counting calories using an app, such as myfitnesspal or mynetdiary. Use a kitchen scale to measure food. Eat real whole fruits, whole wheat, brown rice, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, vegetables, lean beef, and lots of chicken (breasts or tenders are best). Keep cheese to a minimum since it's really dense. Same for nuts. But both can still be healthy if portioned. Portion everything. Drink water. Don't drink any calories at all (MAYBE 1 8 oz cup of milk tops). Period. Start by walking a bit each day. Try to go to bed a little hungry (but not too much). Just eat smaller, portioned meals. Don't try to change too much too fast. Watch your condiments (carefully measure oil and butter). The weight will come down. If you aren't used to eating a healthy diet, then these changes alone will bring your weight down dramatically. It's really hard to overeat chicken and veggies. SRS. You will be full and chitting all the time and still be below your calorie count.
People on here will give you a really hard time. This isn't the place to be if you aren't ready to get insulted. But don't give up on your weight loss journey.

eat less
you literally dont need to go to the gym ever to lose weight
so judging by your current figure..
lets say you are having 10 pancakes for breakfast that are soaked in butter and a cup of syrup.
change that to 8 pancakes for 2 weeks and then im sure you willl lose some weight from that. Then the next 2 weeks try 6 pancakes.
You gotta make small changes so your body doesnt shut down.Doordasher crew (SRS)

OP, there's a thread called DON'T LOOK PAST THE BASICS at the top of the forum. Read it through and then follow its link to the thread that helps you determine how many calories and how much protein and fat to eat. You can set your deficit at 2 lbs/week. Use the highest weight in the healthy zone for your height when determining the protein and fat gram minimums. Eat at that level for 3 weeks and then if you're not dropping weight, drop your calories by 200.
- Get a digital kitchen scale and use it to weigh solids and semisolids. Not only will this lead to more accurate calorie counting, but it will also help you learn what proper portion sizes look like.
- Whether you use an app or pen and paper to log your calories, be sure you're using correct calorie info. To do that, double check the packaging's nutrition label or something like the USDA Nutrient Database or buy a little calorie book.
- Get active. At some point you'll need to do resistance exercise in order to be sure you retain muscle. HOWEVER, at your current starting point it's more important to just start moving more. Walking is a good entry level way to do that. Two to three 10 minute walks the first week, then add 3-5 minutes the next week and the week after that, etc. Just ease into it and resist the urge to. overdo it at first as that usually leads to injuries, which often leads to quitting.Last edited by spradish; 01-01-2019 at 03:43 AM.
