Here to learn
So I just came home from the hospital where they dragged my fat ass onto a scale for the first time in ages and I'm 325 pounds... I knew I was fat, but that's just sickening. I'm hoping to convert myself from a walking heart attack into a healthy person and I could use some advice.
I don't know a thing about steroids, I don't even know how to work out at the gym, but I'm gonna learn.
I tried to get a little more active last year in the spring by playing football. I loved being able to throw my weight around but I ended up tearing my Achelles tendon (2 times) which left me on a couch for almost 5 months eating pizzas and getting fatter. My foot is almost ready to go, still fair amounts of pain but it's completely manageable. I'm meeting with a physiotherapist tomorrow to discuss how hard I can workout with my foot still not back to 100%.
I don't look 325 pounds. I have very broad shoulders and carry the weight well. I'm pretty agile for a fat guy. I have natural strength, I always rock my friends who workout when we wrestle so i don't think I need to be babied. My biggest weakness is cardio, I get out of breath pretty quickly, I also have asthma.
Anyways, I have access to whatever I want in terms of gear. From what I can tell I'm better off just working out and not taking actual steroids until I become less of a diabetic death trap. So my plan is to work out eat right and take clen. I have half a bottle ready to go, and I'm gonna start Wednesday morning once I read up on it a little more.
That's my plan, any advice along the way will be much appreciated. I've decided to not allow myself to drink alcohol until I've lost 50 pounds, so I wanna shed as much fat as possible in as short amount of time as possible.

Two more questions...what other medications do you take? And, do you have any allergies to medications or foods? Thanks
Imho, taking clenbuterol will cause your heart to over work, which in turn, is counter productive contributing to additional significant medical complications, in addition to any other underlying pathologies that you may have, or havent, failed to mention.
No allergies, no medications aside from symbicort for Asthma. Other than being out of shape and still recovering from my achelles tendon repair surgery I'm healthy. I wasn't always THIS fat either, I've just let myself slip quite a bit over the last few years. I have no heart issues, no other medical problems. Just got my yearly check up at the doc last month, blood work and all that came back tip top. Blood pressure is also good, a little high but nothing to be concerned about
I was in the hospital yesterday for a sleep study, I sometimes have trouble sleeping, and girls have told me that I might have sleep apnea. Possibly as a result of being overweight.
Thank you for the info...looking forward to your follow up info re: BF%..
Do you have an idea what your BF% is?
Can you post a pic and leave face out, please?
No idea what my body fat is. I'll ask them to calculate it for me at the physiotherapist today when I go in to discuss how hard I can push my foot.
I'll post a picture tonight when I get home.
Thank you sir
Hey, my Physiotherapist couldn't measure my body fat percentage, i guess they don't do that there. This is taking a long time to put in action! Learning about workouts, diets, supplements and everything else, along with scheduling time with a dietician and personal trainer. I was thinking I could just start immideatly!! Hahaha not the case.
I've managed to go to the gym twice, legs the first day and I WAY overdid it. I can't walk down stairs today.. Did arms today but went much slower.
I have some pictures, I'll blur my face and figure out how to post them on here. I'll have my body fat percentage by tomorrow hopefully.
Calipers can be purchased on line or at a nutrition store.

Thanks man. I'll look them up.
I would look at our diet and exercise forums and stay away from AAS until you get your weight down and get into a discipline of eating and working out correctly.
Only after proving to yourself you can stay the course, and in this case, it might be 2 years or more.Then, and only then, should you start to think about it.
you've got a lot of people here that can help you along the way. Do not think for a moment that AAS is your silver bullet to a slimmer healthier you. More likely than not, with the added water weight, BP, higher RBC, it could be the death of you at your current condition.
And stay away from the clen.
Thanks Greg. My focus is 100% on getting into a healthy routine of working out and eating right. I thought clen would be a good fit in the right dosage (once I'm in a routine) as its used to treat Asthma, which I have a mild case of.
Once I feel I'm physically ready and educated enough I'll start. I'm gonna hitting the diets and gym pretty hard and I don't think it'll take too long to lose a bunch of fat with the right diet and exercise.
Aside from being overweight I'm healthy, no high blood pressure or heart issues. No medical issues, I got blood work done this year and everything is where it should be. So aside from having a fairly thick layer of fat around me I'm healthy.
Once I'm into the routine, where should I start? I'm reading about Clen and X-Burn. Is there any other products I should start reading about?
Every diet aid you use will complicate things when you stop using them. And you will have to stop using them.
I dropped 50+ pounds within 1 year. Safe, no diet aids, no rebound, and I learned how to change my diet to match my changing metabolic rate as the weight came off.
You will cheat yourself in the long run if you use diet aids. And I'll bet you you will not save even a month in the effort.
But go for it. Read every "infomercial" out there about the miracle diet drugs and spend your money. All I can say is, been there, done that.
I started out by reading this book(link below). Followed the weekly meal plans and lifting routines outlined in the book and the weight came right off. I thought I'd start AAS use right away, (hence my attraction to the title of the book) but ended up putting it off for years. By then my BF was somewhere around 18% - 22%. My T levels actually went up naturally as I got in better shape and more active.
