Story time.
All thru school I played basketball competitively, after being a chunky kid, and it kept me cut and very athletic. I was on my way to college scholarships when I did something extremely stupid in HS, got expelled, then blew out my knee and there went my basketball career as I dove into a deep, deep depression. At 18 I was about 180 lbs with constant abs, by 21/22 I had quit school, worked a job I hated, was eating fast food 2X every day, lunch since our crew was regularly out and about and then dinner as I was too lazy to cook after getting up at 4:30 every god damn morning. Add in almost a bottle of vodka every night, then massive drinking when going out on the weekends(hey, first time I had real money to spend) and I ballooned up to 250 lbs. I was a fat, unhealthy, fuck. Started getting rashes. Had acid reflux. Skin looked pale and unhealthy. Well, one thing led to another and I decided to quit my job and go back to school. So what gave me the motivation to change? Walking around campus on day numero uno and everyone basically ignoring the fat guy, combined with my school ID which was the absolute worst picture I've ever taken. I was completely embarrassed and ashamed. Three years earlier I was extremely popular, could get almost any girl I wanted and now no one would even give me the light of day.
It was then and there I decided to whip my ass into shape. Went for my first run, but due to the weight my calves were strained and I could barely walk for a week. But I kept at it, 1/2 mile became 1 mile, then 2 miles, then 3 and so on. Started lifting six days a week, no exceptions. Once I started building some momentum I'd go early in the morning to run for 40 mins on the treadmill, then go back in the evening for weights, two a days.
Then there's the diet. I cut back on the vodka although still drank it regularly. But everything else I ingested was protein shakes, protein bars, meat and salads. No fruit. No unhealthy carbs. Stayed away from processed food(other than the protein bars), stopped fast food and eating out altogether and the weight started melting away. Also took some ephedrine but I wouldn't recommend that to the OP until he loses 50+ lbs and get a cardiovascular base. I'd assume given how lazy he says he is and at 300lbs, ephedrine would be quite risky from the jump.
Fast forward roughly a year later and I was 190 lbs, throwing massive weight around in the gym and back on the dating scene. That's actually how I met my current wife who's a personal trainer, which also led me to becoming a personal trainer for 5+ years. I had a few ups and downs as my weight fluctuates but by the time the wedding came around I was about 177 lbs, shredded with cannons for arms. I had the same body I had in HS just more muscle mass, and hair of course.
So OP, I can't tell if you're serious or not but no one can do it for you. It's simply how much do you want it. I on another occasion pre-wedding slacked for about 6 months and got up to about 215 over a winter. That led to the 215 to 177 drop. I've dropped 40 or so pounds on two different occasions. But you've got to get out of your lazy mindset. You're stuck in this dungeon of depression where you're too comfortable being lazy. You need to find and take up interests which get you off your ass and get you moving. You need to set goals, 2 lbs a week, 10 lbs a months, 30 lbs by the holidays, whatever, and hold yourself to it. Stop embracing your laziness.
And I know this from my years as a personal trainer as well, you come on here with the right intentions but you're stocking your fridge and cupboard with shit food. It's simple, if you don't want to eat unhealthy, stop buying that shit and don't keep it in your home. Every client I've had whose struggling to lose weight has too much unhealthy food in their homes. Void all temptation. Get that shit out of there. The most unhealthy thing in my kitchen right now are organic peaches, due to the sugar. I don't even eat them. But instead of figuring out how you can drop a few pounds you need to commit to a new lifestyle. Bottom line, that's your answer.
Commit to a new, healthy and active lifestyle.
And at 300 lbs it's far easier to create a caloric deficit each day than it is for someone thin and in shape. Just going by your size in order to not lose weight you must be shoveling down 4K calories per day and likely from shit sources. You should have zero issue hovering around 2,500-2,800 calories per day which by itself with some exercise will see 2-3 lbs come off each week. But when you come here and thank everyone, then follow it up by losing no weight it means you're sitting there eating shit food every, single, night. Quit buying it. The control will come from you and only you.
I'm doing intermittent fasting right now to cut up again. Maybe you should consider that. My eating window is 6pm-12pm and I lift weights and do cardio every day on at least a 12-14 hour fast. My body's burning up the fat while putting on muscle. That might be an extreme jump for you, I wouldn't recommend it but start with skipping breakfast and getting exercise in while still fasted. Don't eat until 11, then 12, then 1. Give yourself a 12 hour eating window and slowly role it back. It'll greatly help your insulin tolerance, force your body to use your fat reserves as fuel instead of carbs/glucose, start releasing more HGH(which greatly increases in a fasted state) and will allow you to put on some muscle, and take it from there.
I'll tell you though, both times I dropped 40 lbs and now I'm working on dropping about 20-25, I became utterly obsessed with it. I am right now as well. Every day I do something. Every day I make sure I have only healthy food options available. I embrace the hunger on the fast. I seek out the pumps I get when lifting on a fast. I make it a point to try to outwork anyone in the gym who's there at the same time. I take pride in sweat pouring off my face. I look forward to the soreness afterwards as I know I put in real work. I personally don't know how you'd do this without becoming obsessed with it. Everyone I know who's done similar became gym rats who more than knew their way around healthy eating, cooking and prep.
That's enough from me. I hope you're open to some of this and I didn't just waste my time.
