Dear /fit/

I am a fat ass. I weigh 23.5 stone, thats 329lb, 149.2.
I've never considered myself unhealthy, i've always been kind of overweight but I used to bike a lot and I was always active when I was in school, well I'm 20 now and umeployed and i find i just sit in all day, so I've let myself go. I only realised I was so unfit when I had to take a walk up some hills.

So whats the best way for me to exercise? No public pools nearby to swim at, and i'm too self conscious to go to a gym. So it looks like cycling and walking are my best bets, and situps and what not at home.

How much should I exercise a day, whats the best way to lose weight, how many times a week, and all of that other stuff, i'm tired of being lazy.

I was the same way about being too self-conscious to go to a gym. Even now that I'm at my ideal weight I still run at night and exercise when no one's around.

If I were you, I'd make a couple of common sense changes to your diet and do cardio. When you go walking, try to alternate jogging and walking and increasing the amound you jog each day.

Another thing, don't let the fucking diet nazis on here get to you. When you're starting a diet it can't be overly restrictive or you'll lose interest. I just cut out most sugar and carbs and ate very light dinners.

Follow that and when you start noticing results you'll be more motivated to follow a more regimented diet and exercise plan.

Good luck.

How is it that you stupid motherfuckers delude yourselves every fucking day? How can you say, on the one hand, that you've never considered yourself unhealthy, but on the other hand, that you're too fucking self-conscious to go to the goddamn gym.

Jesus H Fisting Christ! What fucking disconnection is taking place in your head that you cannot equate "being so motherfucking fat that I'm even fat amongst the fatties at the gym" with "well I guess I'm not that unhealthy - maybe I'll just keep eating three bags of nachos, a bucket of lard, and some aids butter."

Get to the fucking gym. Get a goddamn trainer and start sweating those fucking man-boobs off. Fuck your self-consciousness. If you're too goddamn weak to manage this, then you're already fucking doomed and might as well just kill yourself now.

You are so fucking shallow and dense it's unreal. OP was stating how he felt before, and now understands the reality of the situation and is asking for advice on changing everything.

I was also feeling self-conscious about going to the gym, so I put off for too many years. Then I finally sucked it up and joined.

The first few times I went I felt like an idiot: not knowing which exercises to do, proper form, or how the machines worked. So got a trainer to show me a few things.

Fast forward six months and I go 4x a week. I absolutely love it and look forward to workout days.

When I see new faces, walking around with the same beginner's workout sheet the trainer printed out for me then I think to myself "good for him/her".

We all started in the same place, buddy.
