I joined a few days ago.

I'm 29 years old. Almost 30 in a few months.

I'm 5 ft. 11 inches and weigh close to 333 lbs.

I've been heavy all my life.

Two years ago, I started exercising/dieting. I went to the gym 6 days a week for an hour. I walked 3 miles. I got to 296 lbs in 4 months, then stopped. My mother got sick and made going to the gym difficult.

Here I am. Close to 30 years old. I decided to loose the weight for good.

I started going to the gym. I've been walking 1.5 miles in 30 minutes. I'm finding I'm light headed after exercising. It passes after a few minutes.

Money is an issue for me. I'm living from paycheck to paycheck.


Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Are you breathing properly while exercising?

Not sure. I'm breathing through my mouth.

Are you properly hydrated and fed? Regardless if you feel that way you really should see a doctor first. Just in case.

I did. He only found I have an under active thyroid.

I know I do not drink enough water. I was thinking it could be this.
