Hi I might as well get some personal details out there. I'm a 19 year old guy (a rare sight here I'm guessing) I am completely out of shape and overweight. Here's where the help part comes into play I happen to be disabled as such my ability to exercise is cut down majorly I only can walk period I cant run or jog or any of that stuff. I have been exercising to the best of my ability (I can only stand for about 10-15 mins at a time) and have been eating healthy I was just wondering if any of you could give me some tips on how I can maximise the limited amount of time I have.


A couple of other notes I started this diet and exercise thing on Monday with the purpose of strengthening my legs and it is already paying off I've gone from 220 to 216 lbs and my legs are feeling better. I just need some tips/moral support.

I found it right after I made this post.

Welcome to 3FC!! This is the perfect place for motivation and knowledge!! Although I am so NOT an exercise specialist ( I NEED help here myself) I would think some type of low-weights would be good. I also remembering reading about functional fitness type of exercise..search it on the web.

As far as the diet..I found a GREAT book called Super Foods RX Fourteen Food That Will Change Your Life. Really super clean eating.

Good Luck and Keep at it!!! Your attitude is on track so there is no way you can fail!!!

Hi, i am also new to all this. Just signed up today. Wish you the bet of luck.
i am looking to lose just under a stone. By looking at my stats you may think i was striving to be a size zero....... big no. I am currently a size ten but became unwell about a year ago and put on this extra weight, i feel frumpy and unhealthy. Through exercise and healthy eating i wish to hit my 'before ill' weight....... just have no idea where to start. HELP
