No tips for flat feet, but try less intense forms of cardio. Now a days I only do running as a warm up on a treadmill. If I'm doing prolonged cardio I'll use an elliptical or bike.

Same for me as well.
My cardio consists of the elliptical or bike nowadays.
I used to go in hard jogging, until I learned that running for prolonged periods of time with flat feet can really affect your back.

I hope I'm not too late for this, I would appreciate all the tips and motivation provided by this thread. 
Not really looking to getting swole like a body builder since I play soccer and we have to be agile and fast on our feet. Weighed myself a couple minutes ago, I'm only 5'6 by the way, us short guys being mad muscular is not a good look.

Checking in here too.
Been a long time lurker of the forum.
Stats:
5'8" (5'9" to the ladies) and 150 lbs.
I've always kinda worked out but I've never had abs. So my goal for the summer is to get those abs showing. Also, really need to work on my legs.

Down to 205.5 from 208 slow and steady I guess being cutting down on the bad foods and just consistently hitting the gym doing weights and getting in atleast 2 full court pick up games (basketball)

Does a high incline on the treadmill work the abs at all ?

I have flat feet as well. Had a few ankle surgeries too so running becomes very tedious for me after awhile. I bought the insoles which work great I might add. I think mine are called superfeet, but they look similar to whats been posted. If I'm not cramping up in my foot, I'm extremely bored with the running.
Most of my cardio nowadays consists of P90x Plyometrics, Cardio X and Kenpo X. I also do DDP yoga in several different forms almost daily. If I do a P90 and a DDP yoga, (about an hour and half) my watch says ive easily burned over 1000 calories and time FLIES. I just can't get into running. I did nothing but the treadmill for 6 months and I thought i'd be "into" it after that time, but no. I actually despise it even more.

Weighed in today. Down 2 lbs from last week. I'm really curious about next week though. I ate VERY well last week, tracked everything and exercised every day, but binge ate and drank last weekend. Not really in the cards this weekend so I'm hoping for a few more.
I need to cut my binge/non diet eating down to 1 MAYBE 2 meals a week and only 1 night of drinking PERIOD. Thats my goal for the next few weeks.

dont know bf and i wont be tracking my weight
i probably wont even track macros
i eat really horrible right now, like wingstop is my go to, and my preworkout is red beans n rice from the popeyes next to the gym lol
going grocery shopping today to get some cleaner options, going to see if that makes a difference in 3 weeks, and if it doesnt, then i'll start the grueling task of tracking macros
sidenote: i think the main problem i will have is that i play basketball to my hearts content (easily 2 hours a day on top of lifting for an hour), theres no easy way for me to gauge how much energy i burn and exactly how much i need to eat

The tracking really helps give you a picture of food though. You should try it for a week just to train yourself.
For example.... That red beans and rice is about 250 calories with a lot of nutrition lost just due to preservatives and stuff.
For lunch I had a turkey wrap and a medium salad that was about 400 calories. I'm seriously stuffed and my meal was packed with nutrition.
As far as the exercise tracking is you're never going to get a true accurate reading, but you can get a guestimate idea. Buy a heart rate monitor and see how many calories that says you burned after playing ball. I know its not accurate, but it'll give you a general idea of what you're doing.

@paulprince3730 I'm similar to you (6'2 215lb) and I can tell you that grocery shopping will help you drop weight for sure, however you'll easily burn more if you can slightly keep track of macros especially at the start as most people drop the most weight in their first month or so of diet and cardio. You would be surprised at how many more calories you can cut out of your diet by simply reading the back of the label and deciding if its "worth it" or not. Also, when grocery shopping look at the label, some brands have less calories for similar products and even 30-40 calories less will help.
Also for help counting/tracking how many calories you are burning while you work out you can use this website http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc
For example, 60 mins of "shooting around" basketball burns about 500 calories
