Hey>>50122, how you doin?
First off good job choosing to do something about your weight, I understand your reservations about weight lifting and etc. I was 409 pounds, and I'm 190-200 right now. However, if you really want to pound that fat away, you're gonna need some weight training mixed in with your cardio! This is because muscle burns off fat better than fat burns off fat. So in addition to the fat you burn off with cardio, you're gonna be burning off calories after working out from that weight lifting, in addition to the calorie loss, you're tightening up that stuff under the fat so as you shed away the pounds - You'll start to look better and better and better as the progress continues.
The main apprehension a lot of big guys like you and I have with weight lifting is we assume we're going to get "big". and the word "big" translates to "fat" for us. We don't wanna be BIG anymore. But don't worry, if you're doing weight lifting in a light way, eating right, and doing that cardio...you'll shed weight and you won't get big.
I hope that helps, listen, I'm more than willing to help you out if you want. I'm willing to correspond over e-mail or whatever if you want too.
Best of luck and keep it up man! OH! And by the way, when I lost the weight, I didn't have a gym, I had a small set of dumbbells and a shitty bar, and a lot of open road. If you have to run 1-2 miles to get the gym, think about this - You don't have to use/wait for those cardio machines at the gym! Huh? Huh?
Not to mention I've met seriously awesome chicks while running, they dig an active guy, even if you're a little big they admire fucking determination, you can rock it brother. Go for it, and let us know about your progress. Cool?
