Good to hear you wanting to do something positive. There is some good advice in this thread.
However, going a little against the grain, I think you need a kick up the a**e more than anything (not intended in a nasty way). I'm a similar age and size. Last year was 16 stone. I have always been active but due to evening study I packed on a few extra pounds. I'm now just a tadge under 15, but if I stuck to cutting out all the rubbish and limiting myself to a small amount of calories no way would I be able to maintain the level of CV and weight exercise that I currently do. Plus I would be miserable.
In your case keep it simple, a few simple lifestyle changes are what's needed, these are the basic building blocks of living a sustainable healthy lifestyle.
Firstly get out and exercise, biggest benefit you can do in the long run. Go to a gym or swimming pool, sure you may be knacked after 20 minutes, but stick at it. Its not about who is the fastest or strongest, its about who puts effort in. Eventually you will enjoy it.
Secondly adjust your portion sizes and swap things where you can. Instead of a 180 cal bag of crisps go for the 90 cal one. 3 weetabix instead of four, skimmed instead of semi skimmed ect.
Once you start getting fitter and feeling better you can take it further and by that point you should have the will power to help.
My personal choice would be get on a concept rower down the gym and follow one of their interactive weight loss plans.
Good luck. |
