First of all, sorry about my english. I'll try to make it easy to understand, and I'll try to use pounds ad feet for measurements (where i'm from is CM and KG).
I'm a male, 312 pounds, 6,23 feet. 2 weeks ago I turned 30.
I always have been overweight, but I always did a normal life. Like...15 years ago, I played basketball and I was in "good shape" (always with some extra weight, but never bothered me in my daily life.) In school and High school was different, lots of insults, mocking, depression, dramas, etc. It followed me all my school life, and it made me leave my studies and start working (made good friends tho, still meeting them time to time!). Still playing basketball, till that day. Was working and I had a fall from like 30cm. I was bringing some dishes to clean (was a Waiter). And I just sprained my ankle, with all my weight, from a 30cm fall. I never recovered from that. I went to doctors and all but everytime I step, I feel like a whiplash on my feet. I totally abandoned sports, and due to my schedule as a cook and waiter, I was always tired, never time for myself, always bad eating. I tried to go to gym a couple of times, and i really enjoyed it. But is going to the treadmill, and i can do 10 times without a problem, and then the eleventh my ankle starts hurting like hell. I can't do any "hard" contact exercise (but i can do bicycle for example).
Sorry, for the rant, I jut started writting without even looking. Thing is now I'm 30 yo. And my knee it's starting to hurt. A lot. At the point that when I'm squatting I feel a burning, painfull, crushing drill inside my knees. And i want to improve.
I tried diets, i tried routines in the past, but I always quitted, and it seems impossible to me to go on with that. But now i landed an steady/office job (all day sitting) but with a normal schedule (as a waiter i used to work 6 days a week, no weekends, and changing days every 2 weeks, with 13h shifts...I know it sounds as an excuse, but after that, 0 energy for gym or cooking).Now I live on my own, at home I've an Static Bicicle, a set of weights (2 dumbbells and 1 ....large dumbbell(?)) a...table? WhereI can lay and do the lifts, i also have an old DDR (wich a I love, but I fear for the whiplash on my ankle...) and my gf bought this new game for Switch, the ring fit adventure...
I have a gym next door of where I work, but before spending money on it i want to see if i can start on my own. Or maybe it's a bad idea, i dont' know. Before started writting this was a "Can you help me?" and now is more like a rant explaining my life, oh well.
TL;DR: Want to improve my life quality, and I need help with it. Can you lend me a hand please?
Edit: Just forgot. I'm a big guy. I mean, i went to an endocrine and my "ok weight" was like 10 more kilos than my friend that it's same tall as me. (don't know if that matters, just saying)
