attitude as bad as his odor
Nov 9th will be month 12 on my diet and I expect to be 245-250. With winter about to hit, I think its the perfect time and weight to get back to lifting. With the deficit I'm at already, I have no doubts about losing weight at the same pace. All my meals are protein heavy, so I shouldn't have to adjust to a new plan right? Also, you did no cardio?

Im on it then when Nov 9th hits. Definitely don't wanna lose all this weight and end up being "skinny fat." Too young for that shyt.
Im making that plunge and I need help.
I turned 24 in July.
Im 5'8 at 224.6 pounds
I drink tons of Kool Aid and Soda..I rarely drink water. I eat unhealthy as fukk. Greasy and fried chicken..Burgers, spaghetti, all that shyt. I eat bread, hot pockets, pizza, tacos..etc I don't go to sleep to like 2 am and I am eating and drinking until I go to sleep.
With that being said I do have the will power to stop..I hate being
..............Looking in the mirror and the before/after pics that were posted on the first page was a huge motivator. Also my doc said I must lose weight ASAP or im fukked...So I am more than ready.
I don't have access to a gym but there is a basketball court like 3 blocks from my house, I do have an exercise ball and 40 pound dumbbell set...also got a digital scale.
So where should I start?

Gotta clean up the diet first and foremost. Drinking those cals will stunt any potential progress.
For what its worth I started at 5'9 220 ish in February (really dialing in and getting focused) and I'm down to 170ish. A lot of what is said here is backed up elsewhere so it's good advice. Just realize it will take time breh.

Yo OP what was your starting weight?
I work with a trainer Tuesday's and Thursday's so they make those plans. I just started with a new PT on top of that but it looks like we will go some combination of chest/arms/back on Tuesday and Legs/Back/Abs on Thursday. For example last Thursday we did legs:
Done as a circuit with weight increase on the first two exercises
Leg Press
Step-Ups onto a weight bench with 35# DB
30 squat jumps
Lunges with 25# plates, 2 sets
Broad Jump Burpees, 2 sets
Kettlebell Sumos, 2 sets
Today was Chest/Arms:
Incline Bench Press
Pull-Ups
Seated Cable Row
Flat Bench Press
Bosu Ball Pushups
Conditioning:
2 sets
Box Jumps 1 min per set
Burpees 1 min per set
Saturday's I left on my own with my version of 5x5 B:
Deads
Overhead Press
Squats
Pull Ups
Shoulder Press of some type
Some form of abs, Planks, Decline Sits with a 25# weight or Windshield Wipers
Sunday's are more chest/arm focused
Incline DB Press
Bench (Smith Machine for spotting purposes)
Triceps Pull Downs
Machine Chest Flys
Ab Raises

I just gotta get my weight routine on point then Imma be
before you know it.I got a free personal trainer session and am going to retain everything taught and then make my own plan. I want a trainer for the first few months to be honest.
Do you feel like it is worth it?
Also: @MMSex told me to do the stronglifts and Imma try that. You ever try that?

For me not having lifted since high school I would say yes. I don't have a lot of time to waste so it's been good to build a foundation on different lifts, form and pace. I think I'm signed up thru December but I won't go past that because of work schedule and I'll likely be changing gyms. I should be fine at that point. I feel like the key thing is to record your progress, so you can stay on track. Stronglifts is what I meant by 5 x 5. I switched it up a little but the Saturday lifts are basically that program part B.
I don't know how you have to lose but I haven't lost much pure weight since August, maybe 11-2 pounds. Some of that is falling of track, some of it likely over training and some of it work related. That said I stronger and I can see some changes in body comp. I say that to say don't get discouraged or to tied to what the scale says especially if you are primarily going to be lifting.

MMsex, what weight were you around when you stopped the cardio and went 100% lifting?
200 lbs, I had lost 15-20 the first month and a half

And your weight loss was as consistent as when you were doing cardio? Its gonna go down regardless because of the deficit, but just want to know if its more of a gradual change when compared to just running.
