First timer looking for advice with weight loss and endurance.

[c21]

Hey everyone,
I`ll try to make this brief. I am 41yrs old and need to loose weight and gain endurance.
I have never been a health nut and haven't taken the best care of myself like I should of.
This is my dilemma, I am overweight at 5`8 230lbs have high blood pressure and have been "chubby" most of my life. Well now I have the biggest test of my life coming up and this will determine the quality of life for my family.
I need to loose this weight and be able to run about 3-5 miles a day, I have been going to the gym 5 days a week for the last month or so and am the same weight. The most I can run non stop on the treadmill is about 1/2 a mile before I have to slow down and walk for a while, its sad I know. I am not looking for the magic pill or shot cause I know theres no such thing. What I need is something that can help me with weight loss and get my butt to be able to run a few miles at a time. I have asked a few people but everyone has different ideas and I thought that this would be the best place to ask for help since most of the people on here know what works and what doesn't.
Growth hormones, steroids? what is safe and what will work !!!!! someone please help with some advise if you know what will help
Thanks to all for their time.
Kind Regards

whats your body fat %
and post your typical diet for a day

Tried one of those home weight scales that can read your weight and body fat and it said 45% ?
Not sure if its accurate (hope its not ) !!
I try to have a shake and piece of fruit for breakfast and a salad for lunch and what ever the wife makes for dinner but in a smaller portion.
Thanks

You should head to the diet forum and start doing a lot more cardio.

T3 is the only drug I would consider, as you are probably thyroid hormone deficient anyway.
Get some blood work to confirm this and we can go from there.

Welcome to the board mate!
BF Scales are not very accurate with respect to overall BF%. They can be helpful if you want to track progress, and not too worried about a specific number, just improvement.
Better is a BF caliper. here is the one me and my kid just purchased. Only $20 and you can check your self, without the aid of others...

Good Luck!
