OK, I am in. 5'11, M, 34, 262lbs (mostly in my gut) with a disability. Been dabbling with WW and various diets over the past ten years and it never works. Need to start counting calories religiously--MFP is a good app and a place to start. 1500 calories a day featuring Veggies and protein. And need to stop slurping down so much beer. <----- My Main Issue

I have been exercising at the gym--either swimming or elliptical and weights and plan to go 3 times a week minimum. I work at a desk 50 hours a week, so there is that.

Doing this for my wife who is fed up with me, doing this for my dad who needs help too, and doing it for me--want to look better in the buff ya know?


Just need support and motivation.

Hi Nick1234! Welcome to 3FC.

Welcome and good luck on your journey!

Thanks

Welcome Nick and good luck! Another Newbie here too. I hear you on the beer, for me it's wine. I am totally giving it up at least initially though and will then allow myself a weekly treat of a glass or two. If I do more often than that it leads to bad food choices. Like beer, it goes really well with food!

Hey Nick! My husband and I are dieting together, makes it easier on both of us! We both have 20 pounds to lose; my weakness is RockStar Light Vanilla Roasted coffee drinks. YUM!! If I can curb my addiction to that, I'm well on my way! Good luck to both of us in standing up to these demons of coffee drinks and beer! Stay strong!!!
