also all this start big s*** is nonsense bro, start small and build on that. i’m literally a living example of what you want to do
i.e. you’re not going to bench 330 in a year and worrying about muscle rn is counterproductive to what you want to do. there’s a reason people slim and then bulk. and it’s because as far as i’m aware fat doesn’t really turn into muscle it turns into water from exercise. you’re not gonna magically recomp into 250lbs of pure muscle by going down from 330 you need to get to a place where you’re feeling more comfortable with your weight then consider muscle training
Thanks man!
The problem is I don't really have any good habits established and I'm trying to change up my life lol.
Want to lose weight, get stronger, read more, and take my career seriously.
I don't really do anything great rn (work and just browse the web/watch NBA and soccer after work), so I'm trying to do a 180 with my life.
Been meaning to read that book. It's on my Kindle, but haven't read it
It's not an all or nothing thing tho, you can chain having french toast with going to the gym for instance, at least as a stopgap thing for now you know? As long as you moving slowly in the direction you wanna go.
Coming home from work can be the signal you cook a more healthy meal or something. Watching sports can be what you do after you make the food or after you go for a walk, or before/after a cold shower or whatever.
You tryna do a 180 but it's gonna happen one degree at a time. Say one degree a day and in 6 mos bam you're reversed. The time will pass anyway so it doesnt matter if it takes a long time, its what you do with it that matters.
Kindle gang too, s***s goatd (i should use mine more tho )

You right, you right.
Just need to take it one step at a time. Appreciate it bro

god forbid you try and be helpful
This is some great advice and I'm also looking to get in proper shape and clean up my diet once and for all.
What's a good rewarding goal to chain with exercising in your opinion?
I don't drink coffee, but eat lots of sweets (which defeats the purpose of exercising)
Ktt fit club I'm here for it
330 holy f***
You wouldn’t even be able to tell if you saw me in person. I’m 6’5” and broad shouldered.
walk everywhere, no its not too far
I work 45 miles away from my house lol.
Although if I did that walk, maybe I would lose the weight pretty fast
Walk 10,000 steps a day
Running is awful especially when you’re overweight, so you’ll always dread doing it and never stick to it. Walking is easy and we do it all the time, just do it more
Try to stand up more
Take up a fun physical activity of your choice. Personally mountain biking looks fun as hell to me but I have to save up for a good bike.
Find something you enjoy doing is all
Also intermittent fasting is a cheat code. Basically only eat your days worth of food within an 8 hour window and fast for the rest. Anything above 50 calories breaks a fast, so no creamer or anything if you drink coffee
You don’t wanna be skinny fat so after cutting fat, definitely get into lifting weights
@firelord
It’s SO important to take small steps over a long period of time to ensure that you make those changes permanent. Doing too much at once never works in the long run

yeah mate get up 12 hours earlier
I have a pretty sedentary lifestyle. I’m 6’5”, 330lbs and I’m looking to slim down over the next year or two to 190lbs for health reasons.
I want to slowly change this, I know I won’t stick to it if I just start running 5 miles today.
Is there a good way to slowly build up to more activity. Something where I can tangibly meet goals and then raise them once I consistently meet them.
Any advice?
Walk fast 5 minutes, 5x a week.
Then 10 minutes, 5x a week.
Then 15. Then 20. Then 25. Then 30.
In two to three months, you should be able to take quick walks lasting 30 minutes.
Next step: Quick walk 5min + jog 1min.
Next step: Muscle workouts + short jogs
Go slow. Slow and steady. You should be able to hold a conversation
190 is real skinny at 6’5. I would aim to drop 100 lbs and hang around 230 to maintain some muscle.
