Its good to hear things are going well for you Sheth :D Just keep at it and you will see good results in no time :D

nice read! I think a lot of us know how hard it can be to keep track on a diet and kick a bad habit.
|
Stick to it!
Hope you get serious with the weightlifting it improves every aspect of life! Ask at TLHF if you need any help, there is a vast pool of knowledge there.

You can do it man!

You should not sprint when you are over 235 pounds. Your knees are the same strength as a 100 pound girls knee. You'll give yourself serious lifetime injuries if you go too fast. Start with long walks instead of sprints.

It's actually good to carb up at least once out of the week on the paleo diet.
So, really not a big deal. Go easy on your body, try to do workouts with low impact. Swimming being the best because there is a very low chance of injury. Push-ups, planks, air squats, lunges are low impact and can be done anywhere.
Sprints aren't sustainable because of the stress put on your knees and ankles. (especially for heavier people) Tennis is fun, and it's the best when you can mix fun with your workouts but it is very very high impact. The starting and stopping will wear on your knees especially with hard courts. Try to find clay courts if possible.
Everyone slips with diets man, just look at the weight you started with not the weight you were a week ago and it should keep you motivated.
Good luck and have fun! Peace!

Have you tried swimming?
Swimming is pretty much the best kind of sport for someone your weight, cause it involves your whole body, and this is the weight specific part, because it's easy on your joints, you're not gonna hurt them like you will when you go running. A lot of overweight people dont do it because they're embarassed to show their body publicly, but if you can get past that it's really good for you and you wont have injury problems like you just had.

best of luck! I am on weight watchers for men currently ( just online stuff) to lose a bit of weight, and it really works for me. You might want to consider going to some sort of meeting once in a while, it could be a good motivation factor and like the "expert" a page or 2 back wrote, setting goals are really a good thing to do, even if they are small.
And don't beat yourself up over having a setback. If you are going to fit this new healthy lifestyle in the long term, there's going to be times where you eat bad or have a bad week. Just gotta shrug it off and either try to make up for it the next week, or start fresh again and keep on.
Have heard great things about Paleo from many people, keep up the blogs I'm definitely interested in your success with it!

Again thanks for the nice comments. And so many ideas and helpful suggestions. I need to go try swimming I think. Also thanks for spending the time to post here. Its tough to actively post on threads, or at least it generally is for me. So thanks for taking the time and effort to actually post these messages. They are a treat to read, and its amazing seeing friends I know wish me well. I hope those of you on your own diets know that we all wish you to do well too. Thanks for the cute joke sdnnvs

I wish u best of luck!

Sheth swimming is AMAZING!! You just feel so damn well after swimming for an hour. Plus you avoid all the sweatiness from most other sports, which is something that really bothered me personally, since I sweat a TON.
Cheers!
