Just an idea, but when I use the restroom, it's followed by drinking a glass of water, then doing one set of an exercise. It's Tuesday, so that's pullup day for me. Each day has a designated exercise, and I do that movement until muscle failure for every set. Pee, drink water, exercise. Repeat daily.
It was when I went hiking for a week on the Appalachian Trail. Tent, food, water, and supplies. 30lbs didn't sound like much until I had to carry it lol
Eww bacterias.
This. Use water as resistance and go hit the pool. Find a friend to stick with you and make it a habit. 90 days is all it takes to make it a habit if I remember right. You got this man. Slow and steady. Don't try to Rocky Balboa it. Take it a day at a time.
Do you have a gym membership?
If only putting muscles was just as easy as women think we all be buffedPeople make weight loss and getting fit more complicated than it needs to be with a lot of misconceptions. Like women asking me about tips and I tell them to lift weights and they look at you like you're crazy. They literally think they'll turn into Chyna. That's why the cardio section is full of women.
Walk
I do not. I've got a bench press, pull-up bar, 15 & 25lb dumbbells, and resistance bands at home.

65% of the effort is on the food department, 45% is on the exercise. Constancy and adherence is the key.
Calisthenics is a difficult discipline for those who are obese. Plus Cali has a known deficiency for lower members on the long run. Try it on a second moment.
I would go with hidrogymnastic (if possible) or walking as cardio, just to build some resistance and to not overstress your joints. (Begin with 30 minutes light intensity per day for 15-30 days then increase it. Later you can switch for what you really like but Video game isn't cardio
Hit the gym with supervision for some weightlifting. You are fat, you already have an advantage here because you already carry you body mass. Plus find the right gym for you.
On the food department.
Begin by dropping the Cheetos and the non zero coke now (I know you and you can still have your zero coke)
Eat at the right times. (Breakfast, small healthy snack, lunch, small snack, dinner)
Search for low calories, high fiber and protein snacks, you will discover that you can eat a lot of good things.
Gelatin and fruits are your friends for desserts.
Have a water bottle with you all the time.
You hungry out of one of the big meals I described? Drain water. Then if you are hungry again, use to your "snack pass" on something.
During the large 3 meals, go for bigger portion of lean meat cuts and try to reduce on carbs and sugar.
Find some vegetables that you like and fill your plate with it instead of carbs.
Learn how to cook and the air fryer is your friend.
You're having problems here? Or you you are very good with what I told you? Go for a Nutritionist.
This will make a difference in the long run and it will make the nutritionist work easy for both of you. Dieting imho is 50% about eating right and 50% adherence.
At the first appointment, the nutritionist will give you a very healthy but generic diet. The idea is to see what you like and dislike, and how well you stick with it in order to tailor a diet specifically for you. When you understand that and you arrive there with the right mindset, things will be way easier.
Nah. If the goal is to strictly shed pounds, then yes, caloric deficit is all that matters. If the goal is to lose weight, workout, and become a healthier person, then what you eat is just as important. Consuming 2000 calories worth of burgers and fries from McDonalds is going to have a very different nutritional profile than 2000 calories of say, authentic Korean BBQ thanks to all the extensive side dishes. There's a reason why eating 4 oranges is better for you than drinking 8 ounces of pasteurized no-pulp orange juice.
Sort of. They're good for you in moderation, but they're very caloric dense so it's very easy to overeat. It's one of those foods that requires active portion control. Plenty of people have gotten fat from eating too many, but I've never known anyone who got fat eating too much broccoli.
Yeah. Every fat person I know that eats nuts because they read they were "healthy snack" just gets fatter. People are generally fat because they over eat and can't control portions, so buying a packet of cashews thinking that it's gonna help you lose weight is just not going to work out.
Edamame are extremely good, I actually put them into some of the stews I make so I'm not relying strictly on meat for pumping up the protein count. I buy them wholesale, frozen and already separated so they're always ready to go.
I usually put broccoli in stir fry. Carrots typically go into all the stews I make.
