Weight Loss: Beginner to weight loss looking for tailored advice |
| Beginner to weight loss looking for tailored advice Posted: 13 Jun 2021 07:09 PM PDT Sorry ahead of time if this is out of order or has bad formatting. Im on mobile and dont really post to reddit. If i should post this elsewhere just let me know an i will move it. Background: So im starting to actually focus on weightloss for the first time in my life. My weight has fluctuated a lot through life but I've never sat down and put energy into getting healthy. I've been overweight my whole life and with a wife and kids i want to be healthy so I can enjoy my time with them and set a good example for them when it comes to food choices. A few months ago I was at 230 lbs and currently i am at 208. (Im a 30 yo male and 5'-10") and my weightloss has stalled. Im trying to take things slow and make it a life style change and not shock my system and make it hard to stick with a "diet" What ive done: Im tracking EVERYTHING I eat/drink using the myfitness app and counting calories that way. I also check fitnessfrog to see when my tdee is. (2831 for light excersise) I cant be away from house much other than work due to family stuff so i am using a stationary bike at home (life fitness brand if it matters) and i use it 4-5 times a week for an hour. I am slowly getting better numbers, i can avereage under a 4 min pace for 50 min now! (Huge improvement for me) i dont have access to free weights but i can use a machine for curls, press, pull downs, etc. It would be super inconsistent as to when i could use it though. I do have to be "on call" at all times for the family. Im not looking to get shredded or muscle up. Im happy with myself other than just weight. I wont complain if it happens its just not a major goal. My only goal is to get to less than 180 lbs and just generally be more healthy. At 200 lbs I will weigh less than i did in 8th grade lol. Medical: Ive had 3 knee surgeries. Both knees have been under the knife. Both feet have as well so thats 5 total surgeries frome the knees down. (Thats why im using bike and not treadmill.) What im asking: I guess i dont really know what im looking for other than some direction. (I feel a bit lost) do i keep doing what im doing? Should i be factoring in my diet more? Should i prioritize time or speed or effort on the bike? Have i messed up my metabolism? Is there a next step to this rabbit hole that i should go down? Should i do the fasting thing?
