Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
I weigh 275 lbs. and am obese. Is it possible for me to get a good physique? I don't exercise and have an unhealthy diet. If I lose the weight can I get a good physique, or do I have bad genetics?
Here are pics of me:

That's what I'm wondering :oldlol:
But for real if you work hard enough it's definitely possible. If you can set your mind to it and consistently work at it you can do just about anything.

Thanks. Do you think I have bad genetics?

Re: Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
If this is really you, you're on the wrong forum for positive reinforcement. Go onto bodybuilding forums or weightloss forums. I guarantee you'll get a much more helpful response on there.
That said, if you work at it you'll be able to make a hell of an improvement, I've seen people do it.

How would we know that? Obviously, if you're not eating healthy than that should be the first thing you change. Don't worry about genetics and change your lifestyle.

Step 1: Don't ever try to blame genetics for anything. As soon as you start thinking of possible excuses, you're already cheating yourself

As they say in the diet industry. First step is to put down the spoon.

Learn how to eat a low carb primal diet and stick to it for a few months and you will notice massive change. Don't be too hard on yourself but at the same time dont be a coward, nearly everything worthwhile in life requires hard work, just gotta start taking steps to head in the direction you want.

Absolutely perfect
:applause:
As to the OP it's possible to lose weight. You need to be motivated and mentally strong and avoid hunger urges or laziness. You'll get what you put in it. You don't need to starve yourself but you need to eat right and healthy. Stop with the sugars and junk food and if you think that's going to be a problem than slowly cut yourself off of it.
Start exercising. If you can burn on average 200-400 calories a day(low balling it) through exercising and cut off another 500 calories from your diet you can get an overall deficit of 800-1000 calories a day which is great.
I know what I said was something anyone tell you but that's the secret.. It's not rocket science and like I said before what you put in is what you get out.

Re: Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
Similar to Remix, I have a 6'6'' brother who got up to 280+. He then began something called Couch to 5K and carried it through to the end... beyond. The first steps to losing weight probably suck but there's good chance that if you get the ball rolling, losing weight can become addicting. He's a svelte 220 now. 30 years old and dunking again and whatnot.

lol nah its funny cuz as soon as I saw the pics with the spoon I was thinking the exact same thing but I couldn't decide how I wanted to word it so I just left it alone rather than wasting my "bad pun Hades" on a poorly worded pun. So thank you for picking the right words :D

Re: Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
Sports, activities, social things involving movement. Surround yourself with it, get into it, become it, and watch the weight fall off. If you got nothing to get you off your ass then it'll just continue to grow. Find something you want to get good at and do it.

This.
I tried helping you years ago with this, bro ... keep fighting, it's worth it in the end, and think how proud you will be.

Re: Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
Yes, it's possible for you to get into fantastic shape. You don't have bad genetics. Unless you have some physical disability or serious health condition there is nothing to stop you. There's a ****ing dwarf body builder for crying out loud.
Also, what's up man? Haven't seen you around here in ages. :cheers:

Re: Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
Fill the freezer with lean cuisine meals, a lot of them are really good. Eating those heavily for just a month and you'll see some results. See where that goes, you can also do all of your exercise in the house if you don't want to go out. Buy a jump rope and you're good to go, work your way up to 1000/a day 3 days/week, break it down in segments and try to do your chosen amount in one sitting(without aborting the workout to do something else before you reach your limit). I say thats doable
Just one option

Re: Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
Diet is important. But mental toughness, determination, and actually getting out there and being physical and doing activities is even more important to me. For years, I ate whatever I wanted, and not just small portions. I balanced it out by doing a lot of physical activity. I used to play pickup ball for 3x hours a day and workout for an hour and a half ontop of that.

Re: Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
Why wouldn't it be possible to get a good physique? Start by watching what you eat start doing some exercise and like SevereUpInHere said join a body building forum you'll get a lot of good info.

Certain physical disabilities don't stop you either.

Re: Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
If we were to trade places I could get down to 220 LEAN in like 8 months.
It'd be hard as hell because your brain is wired to find solace in certian detrimental foods and lifelong bad habits die hard... but with willpower it is very much possible.. andthe end-goal would be something like this.
3* Strength Training workouts with compound lifts.
2* H.I.I.T sessions
and maybe a swimming and yoga session.
400 kcals under mainteance done Intermittent Fasting or Warrior Diet style.
Elimination of grains, sugars, processed foods, allergy creating foods., sodas.
Enormous intake of water lean meats and green veg.
Elimination of couch potato habits.
Elimination of negative doubts.
A 150/100/150 type P/F/C ratio. Fat is high for satiety and hormonal purposes. All carbs are complex sans the simple sugar one.
Brain-wave would be standard alpha.
Surrounded by like minded people.
Meditation to combat cortisol.
Have social support on your side.
But DO NOT GIVE UP your job or your social life in the process lol.

Re: Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
You can totally do it but it is going to take a while. Don't focus on results at first, focus on the process. Results will follow.
First step: Clean up diet. Most people look at that as "oh, I can't eat this or that" and I say first add good food. If you eat a meal of chicken, veggies, and apples and you still want Taco Bell, ok have at it. Just wait 15 minutes If you want a bowl of ice cream, ok do it, but drink a protein shake first and wait 15 minutes. You'll be amazed at how your cravings will diminish.
Eventually you have to cut out junk food but I advise using this approach for the first few weeks. You have to get used to buying, cooking, and eating quality food. After a few weeks, start trying to cut off garbage food. Should be easy to do because you've been filling your stomach with good stuff for a couple weeks.
To remake your life and body, you need to take small consistent steps. One thing at a time. First, eat good food. Second, eliminate or diminish bad food. Third, start walking every day, twice a day. Fourth, run or do weights or start bicycling or anything you enjoy that breaks a sweat. Add intensity each week.
I've dropped 25 pounds of fat before. I've gone from 210 to 175 a few times. I've been a size 38 waist and a size 30. It is not impossible! Your mind controls your body, not vice versa.

:rolleyes:
Unless your definition of "lean" is different than mine, it would take years and years to build enough muscle to reach a lean 220. Depending on height it's probably impossible for most people.
You always post a whole bunch of bullshit in these threads but I've never seen a pic of you. You strike me as the kind of guy who reads shit on the internet and thinks they are an expert but doesn't have the fitness to back it up.

Re: Is it possible for me to get a good physique?
I think the best advice here is just to start and don't expect immediate results. Like others have said clean up your diet first. You'll feel better and have more energy to start exercising.
My routine is simple: Resistance 3x/wk, Cardio 2x/wk. Combined with a healthy diet you get excellent results for my goal which is simply not to get fat and to live a long, healthy life. I'm not going to get B-low's body doing that, but we all have different goals. *I use other methods to get B-low's body if you know what I mean. :pimp:
Get 2 20-min playlists on your iPod. Walk away from your house until the first playlist is over, walk back to the 2nd. Vary the playlists to keep it interesting. After a few weeks try and jog for part of the routine.
If lifting free weights gets dull, split up the routine by doing jumping jacks or push ups.
