What's your diet lookin' like?

Cardio is definitely the way to go if you want to maximize your caloric burn. I suggest incorporating intervals into the running that you are doing. Are you doing any type of weight training? There are some good threads on here worth checking out, but I'm sure @Malta @krackdagawd @MMSex can give you a quick routine since you're just starting out.

if you have knee/leg issues, id start with the elliptical.

I did the elliptical, played ball like 3 times a week and hit the gym alternating upper body and lower body

i went from 260 to 220 in 2012.... probably took me roughly 7 months.

If i were consistent id probably be like 190 right now because i havent done sh*t since october

Your diet sounds like crap, and that's major part of losing weight.

 

[The ADD]

Time to start counting calories to see how you are truly doing nutrition wise

My diet is crap!!!

But you shoulve seen it before I put a stop to all the bad things.

If I told you everything I was eating without even working out, it would have left you with the face.

Count your calories. Portion control is VERY important..

Cut out the processed crap, including anything white (rice, bread, sugar etc.).

Eat more green vegetables (kale, spinach, broccoli, etc).

Don't drink any calories. Stick to tea, coffee, and water.

Incorporate lean proteins (chicken breasts, fish, beans).

Brown rice, whole wheat bread, quinoa, oatmeal..

Half your plate should be green veggies, 1/4 protein, 1/4 whole grains..

Myfitnesspal is a great app to use to keep track of what you're eating. You will be very surprised when you compare what you're eating now to what you should be eating to meet your goals.

Fellow fatty

If the pain you feel in your legs can be alleviated if you stretch or ice just after the run. I used to run then got injured because of an injury,. But now I have started running again and after every run I stretch for 30 mins plus and the pain has gone away. I stretch the ham strings, claf muscles and quads, make sur you hold the stretch for at least a minute. If you have bad knee's invest in an ice pack within weeks the usual pain will disappear.
