Thanks for all the support. Everybody has been great. I started my diet and work out today. Holy crap am I out of shape. Possibly because I am a shape. (LOL). Walked 3 miles on a treadmill, all I can say is WOW. This is gonna be a challenge.
Whatever you do, do NOT give up! I love your sense of humor, as well. Try working out with friends, and listening to music so you don't get bored. It wil be beneficial in the long run,
Make sure you also eat right; don't starve yourself or skip breakfast! Try to make your breakfast high in fiber. Most Cereals that Quaker makes are EXCELLENT sources of fiber. Oh, and lots of carbs in the morning, as well! Bread and whole grains that will give you the energy you need to make it through your workout! Do NOT eat too many carbs towards night time, eat more protein than anything.
Do not skip meals, eat lean meats, eat plenty of fish, and drink LOTS OF WATER. Cut out soda and any packaged food. Do NOT eat fast food, whatsoever. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Don't eat any junk food. Drink lots of water, you need to stay hydrated. If you feel hungry, drink a bottle of water, if you're still hungry after wards, eat something. Eat smaller portions throughout the day to keep your metabolism up. If you ever DO decide to eat out (which should literally be once or twice a month) get a salad, grilled chicken, anything healthy.
Exercise, too. You can run. If you aren't in good shape start with running small amounts, and build up as the weeks go by. If you hate running you can swim. Its great cardio. You can also think about weight training. Lifting weights builds muscle, and muscle burns more calories than fat. You should add crunches, lunges, push ups, etc. to your workout. If you ever get bored with this routine you can try yoga or cycling, something fun like that!
Again, do not give up. Soon, you'll be running one mile and walking two and then running two miles and walking one, you get the point. Good luck!
