I am not a body builder by any stretch of the imagination, but I need some serious results as I’m only getting bigger and my health is going to get more at risk.
Have a wife and kids, is DNP safe for an Obese person? Or am I going to be setting my family up to collect a life insurance check?
If you're getting bigger, your diet is shit, plain and simple, indisputable math. Don't eat more than 100-150g of carbs and get into the gym. Find the point where you lose, and eat at 20% below that while lifting your ass off. You WILL lose it. If you want to speed up the guess work, have your RMR measured so you don't have to figure it out by trial and error, you can typically get that done for under $100.

Have you done a hormonal panel on yourself? At your weight it's likely you have lowered Testosterone, probably a sluggish Thyroid. There's a ton of drug ways to assist that would be safe for you, but none of that matters, nor are any of them worth the money if the underlying diet isn't right for you.

As of Monday my brother of all people has started going to the gym with me nightly for an hour and a half pump, I feel like I can do this with his help! Going to the gym has actually been something I’ve wanted to do the past couple of days and I was just researching to see if there was a product that could give me maximum results while I’m grinding at the gym nightly.

Do cardio.

Exercise, any form, is great for you, but (there is always a "but" sadly) losing fat is about 85% diet and 15% exercise. At your weight an easy run is probably burning 500+ calories, but that's just a few bottles of soda. Without getting your eating under control you're wasting time at the gym.

Lot's of good tips earlier, but in case this one was not offered, the easiest way to cut calories is to stop drinking them. No soda, no fruit juice (aka sugar) and no alcohol. Coffee is okay if you don't add any crap to it.

And yeah, get an app to track your calorie intake. Even if you don't set goals, it will probably stun you.

Good luck.

How long did it take you to get to that weight ? Putting on weight is normally far quicker and easier than losing weight.

At 350lbs you should with some physical effort and a positive mind set and proper food intake monitoring easily lose 50lb in 6 to 8 months.

Dont do the normal fat person thing of giving yourself excuses for why its not working and blaming everything other yhan yourself.

Once you have got down to 300lb then pit that bit more effort in, increase physical activity and keep monitoring your food and drink input.

12 months from now and down 100lb again is not unrealistic with no chems or drugs. You will feel better you will have learned how to live a healthier way of life which will be with you for ever.

You also stand more chance your skin will recover and not be 30lb of dead weight only surgery will remove.

Popping dnp at your size is likely to cause far more damage physically and mentally to you than help.

It gives you the excuse not to move as its 'working' it gives you the excuse of not counting what you put into your body because its 'working'.

Getting within 20 or 30lb of your ideal weight it is very good once you have used other methods mentioned and as well as the food restriction and excersise.

What's your appetite like? I'm assuming you've been dieting since beginning this post and curious if you're struggling with hunger cravings/etc?
You losing control at a certain time of day consistently? Not tracking? The plus of being that heavy is you can make some ridiculous progress pretty quickly. Quick being completely relative, but most people find it motivating.

If your appetite is absolutely out of control, there are legal medications that could help but they are either A) Expensive or B) Some people respond poorly(or not at all). But the self medicating route is a rough road and I'm glad the people here swayed you away from DNP.

Hope youre doing okay man

Guy hasn’t been on since June.

You wasted your time NEWB.

Go make an introduction post. That’s what normal people do. They don’t just barge in on conversations.

Captain Obvious makes some excellent points. He’s going to really add a lot to the forum. Everyone welcome @Conjurorcat 🙄

Oh my bad. I didn’t realize you worked construction for years. Was it carpentry by chance.

And yes, you are now my bitch so I’m glad you acknowledged that.

I feel like I'm walking into a trap but yes it was carpentry, mostly finish - do we count that or is it considered soft boy construction


i've retained my baby smooth hands
