I agree with exactly what not_a_charger wrote. As far as a dietician or nutritionist, I'm not all that confident they all are that up to date, but some are I'm sure. Lean proteins and some wild Salmon, lots of leafy greens, a little fruit (not too much and no juice). Plenty of water, sweet potato, slow cook some beans such as Pinto. Avoid fast food of course, grains (bread, pasta, crackers, etc. Just think of them as sugar, which you need to avoid too). And as he wrote, find the exercise that you don't hate. For me it's an elliptical machine, and free weights.
And finally, so true; you cannot out-exercise a bad diet! I've watched so many people try. Unless you're a teenager of course.
Facts are stubborn things.

Yep. In October 2007, I weighed 357 pounds. By June, 2008, I was down to 200 pounds. I ended up getting down to about 162, stayed there for 5 years, burned out on the workouts I was doing. I put some weight back on by design, got back to 200, been there ever since. I work out 6-7 days a week, every week, sometimes (like today) twice a day. Gave up fast food and soft drinks. Below on the left is me in September 2007, 3 weeks before I started Weight Watchers and began working out. On the right is me at boxing class a few months ago. And yes, I know my right hand is low, and that's an invitation to get punched in the face. Thankfully, the heavy bag doesn't hit back, but if I did that doing mitt work, my trainer would've popped me in the side of the head. I swear I've met you before.

You probably did at 42, or at Mike Ross' place, or maybe at Rick Gorski's place, or Bob Harwell's place. Sadly, I never made it to any of those... It'll come to me.

Very possible. Hopefully I'll be able to post some progress on this thread in the near future. I'm making some changes myself.

And finally, so true; you cannot out-exercise a bad diet! I've watched so many people try. Unless you're a teenager of course.
As a teen I didn't even need to exercise to beat a bad diet. I had a hummingbird's metabolism.

As a teen I didn't even need to exercise to beat a bad diet. I had a hummingbird's metabolism. I agree completely. This weekend was bad. I hit the Christmas cookies and beer pretty good. I gained a few pounds from Fri and Saturday nights transgressions. I went from 198 to 203 that quick. I hit the weights hard Fri before the beer and cookies. Then did it again Saturday beer and cookies that is except no workout. I finally got back on track Sunday with a salad for supper sit ups pushups and a leg workout. Today was good again chix breast for lunch sit ups pushups again. Weights sit ups and pushups again tomorrow. I can't get away with eating junk and not gaining weight at 53. I know it would be worse if I wasn't working out 5 or 6 days a week,but wow I can gain it quick.

I have taken up biking (indoor and outdoors) and have entered many mountain bike races (29 mile ICEMAN) in northern Michigan. I have a routine where I am getting 10 miles in every other day staying under my target time of 40 minutes (under 4 minuted per mile). On days I do not ride, it is light weight training for flexibility.
My left knee needs replacement at some point (I am 57 YO). However, I feel the burn and feel great doing it. If you are resting, you're rusting, just like your car.
I still eat like sh!t and drink, but I can burn it off now. I hit 10 miles in 37 minutes 13 seconds yesterday. A new best time Now I need a sub 37 minute time.
I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!
Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.
