Congrats! A new year, potentially a new you. It's great a man of your girth and weight is working on reaching a healthier weight. One suggestion though: please shower BEFORE you come to the gym. You emit an awfully, nauseating sour-milk-combined-with-rotten-tuna-cans-in-the-hot-sun smell. The locker/change room has its typical sweat smell before you come in, but afterwards guys are left gagging and rushing to change and seek fresh air. You may have even noticed that when you get on the treadmill, people quickly finish their routine and move away. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do us all a favor and grab some soap or industrial cleaner and jump in the shower. —Gilleted
