I'm a 26 year old guy who is currently 80 pounds over weight. I've been following the Stronglifts 5x5 program and eating right, and I've lost 10 pounds already. I think I am well on the way to losing weight, and I have goals I am focusing on.

I am single currently. Based on my current weight loss I won't be at my goal weight for at least another year. I'd rather not be an incel during that time period, but I find my weight (I think) has prevented me from getting the girls I am attracted too.

I've tried approaching girls, but just can't seem to get phone numbers. I am by no means a champ when it comes to this, but I really think my weight is what is preventing me from closing the deal. I realize that I'm going to have to work with heavier woman until I can compete with fit guys, but I'd like to get as much of an edge as I can for now.

So, any tips or advice for a fat guy while he gets his shit together?
