Thread: Need help with helping someone.

It's probably going to be hard to tell someone they are overweight without offending them, even if you do it nicely.

yeah,thats what I am afraid of,but I know he stopped drinking alcohol cause of his weight,so that must mean he cares.

Wait till he brings it up himself, or bring up a conversation that could lead there. Talk to him about his lifts or if he goes to a gym or something, and work it in from there.

Yeah I would start out by talking about going to the gym and say something about him being a big and he could probably lift a lot and see if he says anything about going to the gym. It would be a good way to kind of compliment him and lead into trying to help him.

Thanks guys,I was able to bring it up and seems he is embarassed to go to the gym.Could just walking at night or early morning be just as benefitful as going to the gym?He's down for walking.What would be a good amount of time? like for someone that big.......30 minutes? an hour? I hit the gym early in the morning but I told him I would go walking with him in the late evening.....Im just kinda worried I wont get the rest I need.
we got into talking about diet and excercise and I have no real idea what to tell someone to eat other than, eat lots of salads and clean foods,like yogurt and cottage cheese and chicken breasts.Drink like a gallon of water and take vitamins and protein shakes.
