Any advice? words of wisdom?

I've been over 200 lbs for the last like 7 years of my life at least, and this year I finally got down to about 175 and I'm about 5'10. I've got broad shoulders and a wide body and I think 160 would be a good weight, but I'm starting to lose my patience and breaking my diet. It gets hard for me to work out cus I've got a bad leg/knee from a car wreck and I have metal in my leg, so it's difficult to run/bike/elliptical for long periods of time. so anyone have any advice or words of wisdom? anything would help out a lot.Any advice? words of wisdom?
You've come so far, and whatever your motivation was to get you here... don't loose that. You're health and your body are the accessories that you can never take off. They follow you wherever you go, and they are with you for the rest of your life. You're health and happiness are directly related, and the better you take care of yourself now means you will have less problems with your health as you get older. Stay motivated, do it for yourself and for your life. Your knee/leg may cause you trouble, but maybe try something that doesn't hurt your leg so much, such as swimming. And if you can't work out as much, be careful what you eat. Re-commit to it, tell your family and tell your friends... tell everyone and enlist their help to support you to your goal of 160. Don't give up, stay with it, and don't loose heart. This is your life and your health.Any advice? words of wisdom?
exercise daily, drink lots of water, and eat what you want but dont over indulge.


best of luck and dont give up!
If you have a chance to swim it's great exercise and works well with someone like you with broad shoulders, and works out the rest of the body. Just try to eat sensibly without going to extremes and stick to it, good luck!
stevo KEEP doing what you have been doing it's working fine





and the other thing is to try swimming it will not hurt your legs
Swimming is about the best exercise you can get and not put much pressure on your joints. This is why swimming is so popular for older people with degenerative joints.
just dont give up. even though it will be hard for you. just take breaks and then go back at it. and even though your gettting mad, you need still to stick to it.


you will be happy once you reach your goal. and i hope you do!





good luck!!! :)
175 is a good weight for your stature.
Well, if you can't burn calories a lot by exercise then


1. Drink water when you feel like eating


2. Eat high fiber (it reduces hunger and causes you to excrete more)


3. Burn as many calories as you can even with the injury, without hurting yourself of course.
Always keep this in mind:





Nothing tastes as good as looking the way you want.





Since you have a bad leg, diet is of utmost importance for you. Find recipes to make things you like. For example, grilled portabello mushrooms on whole wheat buns are great substitutes for hamburgers if you do it right.





Also, change your lifting routine. Go low weight, high reps with not much rest in between.





Finally, if your legs permit, walk on a treadmill at an incline of 15% or more for at least 45 minutes 4-5 days a week. Killer.
for your height ,that weight is ideal=just go for walks and drink plenty of water and try not to eat junk foods =good luck
At your height 175 is perfect. Don't sweat it any more.
