Hello all,
New to the forum here, but I'm looking to get some support and guidance. I have zero in my circle of a handful of friends who do none of this fitness stuff. So, I know a lot about nutrition in general, but due to severe depression I've really really let myself go in the past couple of years and the doctor says I need to lose some of this weight fast.
I bought myself around 250lbs of iron, a barbell, dumbbells, a bench, and squat rack. I've been busy since forever, but no more excuses. I just want to do this the right way because I know I don't know it all, and I have to lose at least 20-30lbs within the shortest amount of time possible. I'm 5'6 and around 175lbs. Much of that is abdominal, but spreading to the hips. As well, it's causing breathing issues and I'm told my heart is weak. With stress, I have noticed some irregular palpitations....which is why the doctor advised.. I'm only 50 and I can't go having a darn heart attack working in this heat. Anyway, there's soooooo much info on the web it's confusing, and I want to just find something simple even if it's hard that I can stick to without complicating the chaos I already live with.
I just started the cabbage soup thing after doing some reading, but I'd like to get some input on how maybe any of the other vegetarians have been able shed fast. Well, even omnivore info is welcome. If there's any supplements, I'm open to that even though I've always poo'd them in the past. I know....there's no magic bullets, but still.
Direct me to testimonials and just briefly say,"Do this damnit!!". That'd be great.
Tonight I have to establish my starting weights for the lifting. I've picked on the AllPro beginner's program. It seems simple and apparently effective.
Thank you kindly!
Matthew
