Hi!! I’m a 24M, 5’11”, 365 lb guy who’s trying to lose weight over time, eventually reach a healthy weight, and live a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. I’m hoping some people here might be able to give some advice on what they’d recommend.
I’ve decided to make big changes to my lifestyle in an effort to finally be at a healthy weight (I’ve pretty much always been either overweight or obese). I’ve started tracking calories, remaining at or under 2000 daily calorie intake, doing cardio (incline walking 40 min) 5 days per week, and strength training 3x per week. I also walk to school Monday-Thursday which is a 12.5 minute walk one way.
Since I started this lifestyle change in late January, I’ve lost 28 lbs from an initial starting weight of 392 lbs!! I’m super happy about this and it’s motivating me even more to continue with this journey. However, I’m concerned about my future and how I can maintain a healthy lifestyle with sufficient exercise/movement.
I’m a law student, and I plan to become a lawyer, which means I’ll have an office/desk job. I’ve read that this makes people become sedentary, and I don’t ever want to go back to having an unhealthy lifestyle.
I’m also worried about loose skin — since I’ve been obese for so long, I’m afraid I’ll have a really ugly body even after losing all the weight.
If anyone has any tips on these things, any advice at all, I’d be super appreciative of it!! I could use some help since I’m basically doing it all on my own, and the encouragement/advice from people in the same boat or who have completed their weight loss journey would really benefit me!!
