Hey /fit/ I need your help.

I've defected over here from /tg/ because I don't want to end up eating myself to death.
I'm a 20y/o male. 6'1 tall and weigh 203 lbs. I want...no...need to lose weight. I just
bought a gym membership but I have no idea where to start. I can spend about 2 hours a
day 3/4 times a week at the gym, not really much more due to work ect...

Help me /fit/ you're my only hope. How should I begin, or is it too late for me?

I'm not as large as the pic but getting there

hey fa/tg/uy
Spend part of that 2 hours a day reading up on fitness and nutrition. Work your way into a normal workout routine with the other hour or so. Start slow, ride a bike or use an elliptical at your own pace, do some light lifting and focus on form until you get the hang of it. Just make sure you stretch before and after your workout to prevent injuries. From what you wrote it sounds like you aren't that bad off.

This only one thing...
Do Not Stretch Before You Lift.
This can inhibit your performance if you do static stretches so at the beginning just avoid it.

OP here - Is it possible to get from 203lbs to a decent weight in 3 months or is that too optimistic?

if you don't plateau or cheat you can lose maybe 10 pounds a month max so you can get down to around 175.

You probably will plateau, you WILL cheat and this is assuming you don't starve yourself but lose the weight without adding muscle mass.

Truth. In general, NEVER STRETCH COLD MUSCLES. Before aerobic or anaerobic workouts, it just risks damage and hurts progress. Stretch some during, but mainly cover all muscles after your workout for best results.

I went from 202 to 166 in two months from just staying low on fats and carbs, and walking.

You really shouldn't use the scale as an indicator of your progress if you're lifting too.
