Thanks for the added info. It helps a lot.
First - you get your weight down and you can probably go off the blood pressure meds, and the cholesterol statin. Even is your cholesterol is still "off" you may be able to resolve it with OTC fish oil, red yeast rice, etc.
Weight loss is 85% diet, 15% exercise. That's not what most people want to hear, especially someone who has always eaten sloppy... but that is the candid reality.
Sure you can get lipo, but if you dont clean up your diet, you will put all the weight back on in only a couple years.
Ill bet you've tried diets over the years too. You probably lose weight but after you go off the diet you gain it back. That's because you go back to eating what you were eating before the diet.
To lose weight and maintain the weight loss means lifestyle changes. No more fast food. You have to plan your meals.
Now none of it is hard. And the good news it that once you get down to the weight you want to be, and are maintaining it, you will be able to go out and enjoy a sensible meal from time to time.
Brown rice, chicken breast, oats, egg whites, protein shakes, sweet potatoes -- that needs to be your diet. Now you need to figure your macros, and then divide it out over abt 6 meals if you can, and eat an equal amount every 2 - 3 hours. Eliminate carbs after 6 pm other than veggie carbs. Anything with sugar - do NOT eat. Anything white do NOT eat (ie white rice, white bread, white potatoes).
Do you drink alcohol? If so, how often and how much? Alcohol can tend to increase estrogen in men, which then prevents your testosterone from doing what it is supposed to, including things like regulating your weight.
IMO you should train 5 - 6 days a week. Right now I suggest you do high reps low weight so that you see more weight loss sooner. If you do low reps, heavy weight you will keep your body in an anabolic state. This will cause it to hold onto the weight you have to give you the strength you need.
To avoid this do high reps, low weight.
IMO you initially need to do as much cardio as you are weight training. Do 10 minutes of cardio to warm up and elevate your heart rate during your weight lifting. Then lift. Once done, do the balance in cardio. So for example, if you train for 45 minutes, then do 10 minutes of cardio to start, and then do 35 minutes of cardio to finish up.
I do NOT suggest running for cardio. You are a big guy and it can easily cause injury which will set you back. Inclined treadmill, and stair stepper are both great.
There is one other route you could consider. You could do a medically supervised diet as a way to drop 30 lbs in a hurry to really kick start your transformation. There is an HCG diet that is for both men and women.
I have a buddy that works at an HRT clinic, and they prescribe the HCG and diet to people who want to lose a large amount of weight - ie 15 lbs in 20 days or up to 34 lbs in 40 days.
If you want, PM me your first name, and an email address and I can put you in touch with him. He can explain the details.
