Some background.
Male
6'4"
352 lbs.
Used to play sports frequently, made a little something of myself by playing hockey.
Former Goaltender.
Most of my adult life has been spent bouncing between 220 and 260. During my Playing Days It was 200-220. You tend to lose weight very quickly playing goaltender in hockey. On some occasions can lose close to 10lbs in a long game such as double overtime.
Anyway, I digress... 2 years ago I moved from Pittsburgh to Erie when a old flame wished to try things out again. Fell in love with the city, bought a house, settled down.
Ever since getting back with her, both of us have ballooned in weight.
Myself from 260 to 352.
Her from 140 to 240.
I have very bad knees, so strenuous exercise is pretty much out of the question. My eating habits are not THAT bad but could use some adjustments. Hers are VERY bad and if she knew I posted this, I would be on the back of a milk carton tomorrow.
I Have Atrial Fibrillation. This in itself is not bad, but I did have one case of V-Fib where I was rushed to the hospital and resuscitated and cardio-inverted back into rhythm. So there is medical concern for a repeat of this.
Due to my weight, my sleep apnea is getting progressively worse. I am not on a CPAP
I have tried a dietician but she did not seem to understand when I informed her of my knees and heart to not make a weight loss plan based around exercise that is stressful to the legs.
I considered bariatric surgery, but after looking into it more and seeing a death risk, I put that on the backburner.
I am looking to drop back to 300 , then to 260. I have considered regulated fasting, but I am open to all ideas and whatever has worked for others, I am inclined to hear.
