Help an overweight guy here weighing 245 lbs. I really dont know how to lose weight and I want to be fit any ideas? Im petrified going to the gym alone and i dunno what to do Really need help with control and everything.
I went full out for like the 1st time today, and I've had a huge lunch and 2 full dinners and now my stomach is STILL growling for more. This is ridiculous. If this is what it takes to grain weight, I'mma stay skinny idc

Just discipline yourself to do it. Watch when you get buff you'll like it.
Mad I'm leaving school and my meal plan. I could easily put on another 15-20 pounds in a few months and be closer to where I want with no effort but there's no rush I guess.
I'm trying to gain muscles, and it is SO HARD to work out I start out nicely, but at the end it is the most horrible thing when you don't have energy to do a machine How do you overcome this lack of energy?
I know that if I do lighter weights, then I won't gain muscles, only stamina (right?)
Pushing limits is the worst I feel so spent and weak
I try to do around 70 pounds on machines

bump to the new page. I hope someone will answer how to overcome tiredness
And you only gain muscles when you push your limits and get sore next day, right?
I feel like many times I'm shaking trying to work a machine very hard, but don't get sore next day

Soreness doesn't equal you pushing yourself. I only get sore if it's been awhile since I lifted last.
And in general free weights>>>>>machines
Gaining muscles is combination of eating enough and lifting.
@Blue Jeans, make sure you're eating right 20-30ish minutes before a workout. Also, it's best not to do cardio before strength training, as it more heavily drains your glycogen stores than vice versa (and can explain why you're so exhausted). Lastly, if you're shaking or struggling to move the weight, you probably do have to go lighter. At the very least, you should be able to do a few sets of 6-8 reps with proper form if you're pushing yourself on heavy weight (10-12, sometimes 15 or 20 for longer sets of more manageable weight). Drop sets are another instance in which you'll be using comparatively fairly light weight, etc. Hope some of this helps!
