Hey /fit/. I'm overweight. About 250lbs. Yeah I know I'm a terrible person, man the harpoons, blah blah blah. I'm asking for advice, What's a good, solid way to get my metabolism moving? And what would be the optimum exercise time? 1hr? 2hrs? And of what? Just cardio at the beginning or weight lifting or...?

Pic not me. kthx.

2000 calories over 5-6 meals over the course of a day. start slow with maybe 1 hour of cardio with breaks cause ur fat and probably will get a heart attack. do eliptical and bike cause u cant run, ur too fat and joints will die.

Pretty much what this guy said, except walking is also an option and 2000 calories may be a bit much depending on your height. How tall are you OP?

Right, sorry about the slow response.

Well at 5,8 and 250lbs your in pretty bad shape, and I'm sorry to say it, but chances are if you got into that kind of shape, then it will take you a lot of time and progression to get out of it, I know it did for me. This is what I started with, and I suggest you start with the same, after about a month I got somewhat addicted to the idea of working for a new body, its quite exillerating. (typo?)

With your body, 2000 calories is good, take that in daily, and try to eat around 400 calories per meal, spread at intervals through the day, thats about 5 meals, doing this will keep your metabolism active, and help burn the fat.

Walk for 45 minutes every morning, or night, I had a lot of time so I did both, if you have the time I suggest you also do. Don't try running or jogging yet, it will be bad for your knees.

Every 2nd or 3rd day, lift instead of walking, it makes the muscles work and as they repair and grow they increase metabolism. If your worried about getting muscular and bulky, don't. It takes far more work and wont happen if your losing fat.

Drink a lot, and I mean a LOT, about 8 glasses of water a day, it keeps you hydrated and stops those pointless cravings.

Don't by any means starve yourself, no matter how desperate you get. It's very bad for you, to begin with, and will most likely just slow down the weight loss unless you stop eating entirely.

Record progress, its a great way of encouraging yourself.

And if your someone who likes to snack constantly, but something that is low calorie but tastes nice, that way if you do slip, you dont slip onto a 1700 calorie bar of chocolate, I suggest flavored rice cakes, they are about 30 calories each, and if you desperately want something for flavor, they are quite nice.

Also, if you have a friend who'll exercise with you, ask away. If they come with you it can really take your mind off the exercise.

Good luck OP, thats about all I can add.

Lol impossible. I play DDR every single day for 3 hours straight on my custom nonstop songlist and I've never hurt myself. How'd you pull that off?

DDR damage!

Short lived run due to terrible weather.

I have no fucking idea. I didn't feel a thing during it. It was the day after and ever since I get a random sharp pain. I might have twisted it weird?

I've never hurt myself with it or any other exercise before.. I'm confuzzled.

I wouldn't bring up the injury if I thought it was from me being fat. I'm not a moron much like the OP asking how to make my metabolism move.
