I'm watching TV and saw a commercial that grabbed my eye.
"Do you ever feel sluggish? Do you eat bad foods?" -- then they went on to say there's "Liveraid" sold at Rite Aid... For some reason, I have my doubts on those products, as they are not tested by the FDA.
Does anyone take supplements? If not, any reason? If so, what works?

Other supplements - naaah. I think they're a bit of a rort to be honest, and that's coming from someone who studied homoeopathy back in my hippy period (wtf was I thinking!). I do have one for night cramping which I get in my feet, but I only think to take it if a foot cramp wakes me up. I think your best bet is to mke sure you have a good diet and decent amount of sunshine, clean water, and I know this sounds like a cliche, a generally positive disposition. If something is making you feel negative, knock that bastard on the head.

An apple!! Haha!! I'll be home the same day, won't be able to drive for 3 days with being sedated, it's quite a nice feeling to be honest, mind goes blank and feels like floating.
Gratuitous bump for the lads. Do you even lift?

Just say no to roids. How anyone can think that is appealing is beyond me.

45 min cardio once every other day at 6am. Pushups on days between cardio. Nothing fancy. Breathing meditation every evening after 5pm. Kale, water, coffee, chicken, tuna and a killer shake I invented consisting of - 1 scoop chocolate protein powder from EAS, 1 scoop nutritional yeast, 2 shakes of nutmeg, 6 frozen blueberries, 6 frozen cherries, 1 big glob of peanut butter all mixed together in coconut water with pulp, pureed. That's breakfast. Mid morning snack 1 fuji apple. Lunch - kale w/tuna or chicken, grape tomatoes, dried cranberries, chopped celery - mid afternoon snack - 1 can garlic soaked squid or whatever else funky I have on hand, dinner - 1/2 cup brown rice with mixed frozen veg's and 1 chicken breast.
multivit daily with a vit c thrown in for measure. Blow nose often to encourage clear sinuses ready for breathing meditation. Chair dips at work if arms not too sore from previous pushups. Aiming for 100 daily+ after a week of gradual conditioning.

Well, I'm finally on track with the health stuff, and I found my motivation: hiking. Hawaii made me fall in love with hiking - the best part of the trip for me being hiking four miles down, through and out of the Kilauea Iki volcano crater. I find hiking is the best form of exercise for me. I love being in nature with the ever-changing scenery and fresh air, and being with friends or family makes it more engaging and enjoyable.
I lost 5 - 10 pounds while in Hawaii, not really sure what my weight was before but it was definitely at least 295, and when I weighed myself on my return I was at 291.7. That was Friday night, and I've lost another .6 pounds since then. Obviously, it's the exercise and healthy eating and portion control that's doing it. You know, people have suggested so much stuff to me on here and elsewhere, and even though it all turned out to be true, I had to kind of realize it for myself. I'm realizing a lot of this (in terms of motivation) is just down to changing your mindset, which then influences your lifestyle. Things like cutting out soda, not eating just to eat (if I'm not hungry I'm not going to eat just for the sake of it, like I used to do), etc. have all helped. Also fear of diabetes.
And of course, hiking. Yesterday I went on a hike with some people which turned into a crazy, and somewhat scary, adventure. Halfway on the trail some of us decided to go back because one had to leave, but the rest kept going, myself included. My friend's dad, a very adventurous guy, decided we would take a detour to the creek at the bottom. We ended up getting lost and had to literally CLIMB up the steep mountain in search of the trail. I felt like I was rock climbing. We couldn't find the trail - later realizing the creek split off into two - and climbed BACK DOWN the mountain and up the other side. Man, for someone as out of shape and big as me, it was really intense. I got somewhat close to fainting, although not enough to worry (a long breather helped). Mainly I kept wondering if they would have to get a helicopter for me, but I wanted to push through so I forced myself to keep going. It was an endurance test and honestly I'm pretty proud of myself. Ended up being 2 and a half hours of hiking and climbing.
My buddies and I have decided to keep hiking as much as we can - we're going out again today. But, we're hoping not to climb a mountain again.

That's awesome. And yes, that's exactly the way to do something sustainable: find something you love that cannot co-exist with the weight. Hiking's a great example.
It's hard to lose weight primarily through exercise, and exercise like hiking can make you hungrier, so be on the lookout for that. But it sounds like a really great start, and more importantly, the beginnings of a sustainable lifestyle change. Log results, and keep talking to people about it. That'll help, too.
Good job!

Yeah good advice. I've been really into blueberries lately. Yesterday I did nothing but graze on blueberries and cashews until dinner. I also went on another hike - 3.4 miles.
I was 291.1 yesterday morning, and just weighed myself again and was 289.0. That seems like a lot given one day? What gives? Was I too extreme in my grazing and exercise? On one hand, it's awesome to see the pounds coming off. But I want to do it right and not too quickly, or in an unhealthy way.

Weight naturally fluctuates a little anyway Swan, best to weigh yourself at the same point of the day each time to help counteract that if you're not already doing so.

Also, when you're overweight, and cut out many bad habits at once, it often does come off pretty fast.

Okay good. Thanks guys.
This is good to know. I do feel the change from my old lifestyle (with SO many bad habits) to my newer one is massive, so things some times feel extreme now. But I am also finding I like my new lifestyle a lot more.

Don't forget about the water weight, that makes it fluctuate a lot too.
