Default High five to weight loss

Good morning everyone. I've just joined.

I'm a 32 year old male. I weigh 260lbs and I'm 6'1" tall.

I've joined because I am looking for a good support group of people to help me on my path to weight loss.

I think I need to start with some education. I don't know much about what is healthy and what is not, in regards to food. I've been cutting out junk foods and eating less. I lost about 20lbs four years ago when I cut out soda, but haven't lost that much since then.

I'm also looking to learn more about exercise. I've been doing yoga in the mornings for about a month. I'm also interested in the P90X.

Nice to meet everyone.

Welcome! I do P90X and am on my fourth week. I really like the program, it's HARD, but I'm getting stronger!

I like what I've seen of the P90X, I like that it's a total body workout and I don't need much equipment. However I think I need to get started with something simpler before I move onto the P90X. That's why I've been doing the yoga.

With the yoga I can see my progress. I'm more flexible now than when I started.

Welcome! I'm new as well. I recommend reading real literature on healthy eating: South Beach, Dr. Oz, anything you trust or can relate to. Good Luck

Default Welcome EyePatch

Good morning, EyePatch, and welcome to 3FC. It's always nice to have another male in the group. You'll find a bunch of us spread around on the different forums and threads.

If you search about, you're certain to find a group, or so, that fit your style.

Do you have an eating plan and an exercise plan yet?

Hi BillBlueEyes, no I don't have a plan yet for diet or exercise. I started another thread (in the diet forum, it won't let me post a link) asking for advice on which diet to choose. There are so many I don't know where to begin. I'm leaning towards low-carb.

I've been doing yoga in the mornings for about a month or so. I'd like to keep it up and add something else. I like the idea of something simple like jogging, but P90X is also interesting to me.
