Hello! New person here, hoping for some help from all you nice people with my current circumstances.
I'm M/31, 5'11", and some amount over 300 lbs (I haven't weighed myself in quite some time, no scale, but last time I did I was hovering around 300 even, and have only gotten noticeably larger since). After a couple recent health scares (and no health insurance), I've finally decided enough is enough, and I need to start losing weight right now. In a super-duper perfect world, I'd love to weigh in the 225-250 range within a couple years from now.
At present, my girlfriend and I live together in what basically amounts to a studio apartment, but, there is no kitchen. We live out of a mini-fridge college dorm style, and own a microwave, toaster, and a Ninja Foodi air fryer/grill combo. No oven/stove. We have access to a freezer but it isn't ours alone. We have to do dishes in the bathroom sink. Clearly, far from ideal lol. All this meaning what food we are physically able to cook and store is severely limited. (Non-perishables we do have plenty of room for, thankfully.)
I'm here today seeking ideas on where to begin, food-wise, that would help me start a successful weight loss journey, but also work within the very stupid confines that we have. My knowledge about dieting is very limited, but I'm a fast learner and very eager to do so! I know obviously I should eat an apple instead of a bag of chips, of course. Water instead of soda, check. But, I'm not as well versed in terms of full meals, both what I should be making, and how much of it I should be making. For breakfast, I've almost always just eaten cereal for years now, but should I be starting my day much differently? As for lunches and dinners, I'm totally lost honestly. Even when it comes to snacking, how much is too much, even if my snacks are actually healthy? Any and all help in the food department would be so greatly appreciated more than words can describe.
Besides this, I am going to start going on walks in my neighborhood, trying to ween myself into being being more physically active (from my current baseline of doing literally nothing lol). I'm also hoping to be able to buy a bike at some point in the near future (though I don't know where I would store it, fitting the theme for my present living situation). Basically, I know I need to get off my ass and get out there, doing something that's even remotely more productive than typing on a computer all day. If anybody has any ideas on activities that would help burn some weight that's easy for a fat dude to get into, I'm all ears my friends haha.
I thank everyone sincerely for reading this and for any advice you can provide! I hope you all have a wonderful day and upcoming weekend!
