What you've said sounds good, you seem to be cutting out the 'bad' foods from your diet and increasing the amount of fruit you plan to eat. The incorporation of exercise is good too ofc :)

My one tip to you would not to try and rush things; be patient with your weight loss goals, sometimes you might reach them, sometimes you might not. Also, make sure that you don't just throw yourself into hard exercise, build up gently.

Kudos to you for making a plan, good luck with it all :)

hey man thats a good think to do i mean thats awesome that u have the self discipline to do that and u could also try to go for a run thats also a good one

[spanky]

Thank you both for your advice and support!

and any other advice would be appreciated people :)

[Aneklusmos]

That sounds great! I might use that as a workout plan myself. Definitely don't rush into it.

[just-another-guy]

yah dude start off slow and take it easy slowly work your way up. stay if a comfortable range like dont push ur self too hard, but just get out there and exercise every day and you will be in shape in no time

Wait wait, it might be dangerous to change your diet so drastically, ty to ask an doctor/nurse, first. Otherwise, good luck =].

Remember, being healthy doesn't include starving yourself. As long as the food is healthy, and your exercise normally, you'll be fine. If your hungry, EAT! Just make smart decisions on what to eat. Also, maybe jogging a mile could help. I do 100 pushups in the morning and jog in gym a mile a day.

I salute you for making the effort mate, I should be doing this, planning on starting in the summer.

The best if luck to you mate :)

Ok its good that you seem determined, good motivation is bound to help you meet your goals.

The best way to lose weight is by a calorie controlled diet, that way you will lose weight at a steady rate, and the loss is sustained, (you wont just pile it back on) Crash diets, like the Atkins diet etc, do make you lose weight fast but often at an unhealthy rate and should be avoided.

As for your diet changes- Be careful switching to fruit juices, they can be high in sugars/ empty calories, read the labels on the cartons/ packets and try to find the best option for you.

As with food, again as a general rule stay away from the processed / junk food, it is often high in saturated fat / sugar / empty calories. Try to eat healthier, lean meats like chicken as opposed to pork etc fruit instead of sweets. As in between meal snacks try things like salad,soup sandwiches. Also watch your portion size of meals, to much of anything is bad.

For exercise you want to be doing cardiovascular activity, things like running, cycling, rowing, swimming are great, they will help you to tone up and burn fat. Other activities that are good are skipping, climbing.

Try to vary your exercise when you can, swimming 5 times a week may be a great workout but will get boring and you will lose motivation. Also be sure to weigh yourself, so you can see changes and stay motivated.
