Hello all,

I have never been to these forums before. I apologize if I do not respect any rules or if I am asking something that has been asked before in advance.

Let me start off saying I am a 27 year old male, 6 feet 2 inches tall and weigh 265 lbs. 4 Years ago I weighed 185 lbs and was in amazing shape. The normal story, I got married and became sedentary and so on.

I am coming here because I am confused which road to take at the moment.

2 week ago I decided I had enough and wanted to get back on track and get my weight down. So, I started eating only 800 calories a day and doing 30 mins of cardio (elliptical) a day. Since then, I haven't dropped 1 pound. Not one.

I'm pretty sure my BMR is somewhere around 2,000 cals/day so I am extremely confused on how this is even possible.

I am looking for advice on what I am doing wrong and if there is a certain diet that would fit my body type. I am open to all suggestions and appreciate any information given.

Thanks so much or any help!
