    Hello everyone

    Just thought I would stop in and say hi, it is the first day of the rest of my life. I have always been a fairly strong guy. (So I thought until I found this place) I used to work out a few times a week a couple of years ago, when I was 20-21. I then got a desk job and found myself doing less and less, I began to pack on the weight and in 9 months went from 220- 265. I quite smoking 3 years ago and I feel if I can do that I should be able to keep up with this. Long story short: I have become obese and I hate it, I used to feel good about myself but now I wear hoodies and Jackets to hide my weight. I have little energy and rarely feel healthy, and to top it off my fiancé is not all that happy with the recent weight gain either. I want to feel good about myself again and I think I found the place to start. I am going to post some before pictures later so everyone can get a good laugh and in the mean time I am going to check out the dieting section. Thanks again Guys and Gals

    Well I spent the evening reading through as much as i could in one night. I’m still confused as shit about the whole thing. I always thought eat healthy+ exercise= weight loss and muscle. I think I should look at a better diet plan to start, would I turn to a nutritionist to set me up one? Is there anything I should take while on the diet? Here is some more about me, also I am not sure if this should go here or in another forum but I will put it here for now. I am 6'2 - 23yrs - 263 lbs and the majority of fat is belly oriented. I am look for rapid weight loss within the next 1.5 months and then to build muscle through then on. Suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated.
