Idk what i’m doing anymore. First picture is me at 20 years old and 436lbs. Starting April 17, 2025 I went balls to the wall and cut out every bad food under the sun, as well as tripling my daily steps and doing 2 hours of cardio a day some days. lowest weight hit was 213.3lbs a few weeks ago but my diet has been slipping and I’ve gotten to 221. currently gyming 6-7 days a week. I plan on getting skin removal surgery when i can afford to do it right, but for now any advice would be appreciated. Currently taking Reta but it seems less effective the second go around. just give me some of your thoughts.

Hey guys new here. Lost 8-9kg so far. Any advice

Hello,

I have in the last 2-3 months started at the gym, before I would not be able to stay in the gym due to anxiety. Lately, I have been joining into classes my gym provides e.g. yoga/pilates, last time it was quite spontaneous after my workout and I loved it, it was so lovely, the yoga felt more intense to me than the Pilates! But at the moment I’ve done my gym split as this: is this too much in one day? I did it once and although was sore the next day it wasn’t like I couldn’t move/unbearable. To me the classes especially Pilates was quite low intensity which is my reasoning,

Also to note I would be doing one class in the AM after gym and one in the evening when my child is at their club.

I am thinking maybe I’m just so excited I got over my anxiety I am jumping into everything! lol.

Thanks in advance.
