i really don’t know what i’m doing, so i figured i’ll make a post to see if i can get any advice.
i’ve been steadily gaining weight for about 2 years now. i know for a fact it’s directly correlated with depression. i’ve been fat since middle school, but i always kinda fluctuated. i’m 6’1 and go between 240-290, but i’ve obviously been at the end of that recently.
i recently picked up two of these lusper adjustable dumbbells. at first i thought i was tough shit, as i’ve always been pretty strong in high school, but quickly found i couldn’t even lift 25 pounds with ease. so i’ve been lifting both of these at 20 pounds, 50 times about twice a day, along with some other exercises, like this one i looked up where you kinda just swing your arm up and down. it felt nice for a while, because i felt the gradual change. i started at 15 pounds, 25 times each, and made my way to what i previously mentioned within 2 weeks.
the reason why i’m posting this is because i don’t know if i’m doing any of this right. it’s stressful. i don’t know any of the terminology, everything i look up is INSTANTLY overwhelming. i feel like i’m locked out of being healthy. i cant even fathom meal planning. i eat 2 meals a day, a dinner in the evening, and whatever i can find in my pantry at 3 am. is what i’m doing right now even enough to lose weight / gain muscle? plus i’m afraid that the weights aren’t even enough. am i supposed to be on a treadmill or something?
i’ve noticed change in my arms and maybe chest? but i’m talking small change. i’ve been doing this for close to a month and a half now, and scared i’m not going anywhere.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
