  1. Hello everyone I was wondering about online trainer programs because i have come to realize that with my weight loss journey i need professional help of some sort because what i am dong on my own is sporadic and really not getting the job done i do not know what is going on with me i work out for 3 days straight then i stop for three days its just not right for a young man who wants to lose weight really bad just cant cut the mustard in my heart i want to get the job done but my head always make an excuse things are really boring for me when i work out.I believe dealing with a professional would really help and give me some motivation cause right know thats my biggest hurdle. So do you guys know of any online programs were you deal with a professional trainer who writes up a custom program to help you reach your goals thats good for you and caters to your abilitys cause i need a change of some sort.Has anyone ever done something like this. Thanks Brandon

  3. Thanks guys after reading your replys i have somewhat jumped backed on the wagon i have realized i am a big guy and things are not going to be easy i have to man up cause it will pay dividends in the end. thanks so much guys you are a big help brandon17
  4. Hi guys it seems i am having motivation problems i really think my fitness level is really holding me back it seems i can only do 20 minutes on the treadmill at the warm up pace and its funny next to the warm up pace setting it has a little turtle next to it lol.and i can only do that in intervals the fat burn pace i will be lucky to get 6 minutes done with out dying.and when i try to do leslie sansones 3 mile walk just the sight of her on my screen just irritates me and causes me to not do her video its just so boring im to big to do damage on the treadmill and the work out dvds just irk me and it seems im not losing weight.I just want to know what can a 26 yr old guy that weighs 350 pounds can do effectively to sustain constant weight loss well with in range of his limits i know its not an easy task its just seems im doing something wrong.i do work out at 3am-to4am in the morning maybe i should change that and the doc told to start lifting weights and that would help with weight loss.i dont know i just need to hit the mental reset button. anyway thanks guys sorry for the poor grammar good luck to all brandon17
  5. I beileve i eat about 1700 calories a day or lower and as far as Protein i really dont get much i eat alot of oatmeal if that helps. but juding by you guys response i beileve im lacking somethiing in my diet rather it be protein or something else im not sure i go in for a physical 2mro so maybe my doc can uncover something. thanks guys Brandon

  10. is it ok to do the treadmill in incriments cause i usually do 7minutes stop for 3 minutes do 5 then do another 5 but with the 7 minutes and 5 minutes im out of breath my legs burn and i pour sweat like i just came out of the shower. do you guys think this is an effective way to build up stamina to do longer periods? brandon 17
  11. Joe how long did it take you to be able to do 40-60 minutes a day? brandon17
  12. Thanks for the encouraging words gary464 how many weeks did you do the 15 minutes before you increased??? and when did you increase after that? thank you all for the kind words i wish you guys all the best!!! brandon17
  13. Evening guys I have another question about treadmills, I have just received a treadmill and i used it twice so far 20 minutes in incriments each and its really a killer how much time do you guys think a 350lb person should use a treadmill a day? for effectivenss thanks brandon17
  14. gdivita thanks for the reply I have a question how much weight have you lost with just walking alone cause i have been walking everyday for 20 something days know while i feel i have more endurance i feel i need to do more to lose weight but im still a big guy and some exercise are out of the question so does just a walking regiment help you loose weight my goal is to loose a 100 pounds i know that it is a journey but i just feel it isnt enough brandon
