you eat like a pig!!!

A good diet is where it starts and I personally recommend you do outdoor activities.

I have a good mate, she suggests get rid of all carbs from gains, have a high protein diet, supplemented by fresh vegetables, (keep the servings of white carbs low, ie potatoes.) It has worked for her.

Ignore the healthy eating pyramid its crap. It was created to sell more bread and milk products, not to actually give a healthy diet.

My personal weight journey was a painful one, break up with a woman, you will feel sick, wont eat, and the weight just falls off.

I am down to 78kg from 97kg, but I am 6'3" so weight wasn't really an issue.

Sounds like it might just be easier for you to gain some height. 6'8" would be a good height for your weight. Wii Fit will get you into shape as well as Guitar Hero will help you play the guitar.

First step is to cut all fast food and soda pop (or "coke" down South ). All of it! Just don't eat that crap. Seriously. It's the easiest change to make. If you cannot do it, you are a weak minded fool who deserves to be fat.

Instead of sleeping, go out jogging. It's easy to fall into the trap of sleeping when you've got nothing to do. Do not let yourself nap! It's just your bored, depressed inner self talking. Buy a basketball and find a hoop; that's another easy way to pass time while getting some exercise.

Come back when you've mastered those two steps, and I'll raise your experience level.

I had that idea two years ago. It just makes me tired.

When you do the groceries, avoid all the aisles in the middle of the store. I shop almost exclusively on the sides where they keep the fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy. Not only are you paying less for your food but you will find that there is nothing to snack on except for the healthy stuff you've bought. And as Leverton says, stop eating out!
I exercise 3 times a week and I alternate between cardio and weights, this keeps your body from getting used to routine and thus the weight leveling off after a while.
I also don't eat after 6 pm, which is the time around which everyone kinda sits around at the computer/tv and besides you will be going to bed shortly after. That means that your body is just storing the food that you eat around this time. If you get hungry, eat raw green vegetables and drink herbal tea.

Good luck.

I've tried both methods. The results my body show speak for themselves.

you also have to watch your sugur intake and stress levels.

i have full control over both. you mite want to do some type of marshal art meditation to deal with stress. to deal with your surge levels try dring and eating things that are bitter.

when you get use to the bitter ness the other stuff will be too sweet.

note: you wont beable to do piccolo push-ups right away. so just stay up as long as you can in the position. your arms will get stronger. if you want to speed it up use some type of wethigh when you in the position. than try do it with out the weight you will feel a lot lighhter and beable to do one or so.

remeber at first you will be only be able to do one. so dont stop training because you dont thing you can do them.

Certainly change your diet. Change your excecise routine as well. If you gained weight, that means something is not working. Also change your avatar. A picture showing the unwanted you would be a good motivation tool. Send your story to Nintendo with a couple of pictures. I'm sure they would like to know how effective thier equipment is.

I find that people are sorely mistaken about serving sizes. I'd sure like to know what the "ideal" serving sizes are configured for. Everybody's different and how much fuel you burn will have a direct effect on how much you need to consume. I'm assuming that the conventional "healthy" serving sizes are for people with uber healthy lifestyles; that exercise regularly, etc. Since that's almost nobody, the average individual should be eating considerably less than that, IMHO.

Whenever people see how much I eat they freak out because "I need to eat more." orly? Then why am I at a healthy weight and you're struggling with yours? Eating is primarily about survival. Fueling your body to do the things you need to do. It's nice if you can enjoy what you eat, but you should be eating to survive. It's OK to stop eating before you're full. We're capable of eating more for survival, for example, if find yourself lost in the wilderness somewhere unsure when your next meal will be, but we don't need to do so 3 times a day in order to survive or be healthy.

I never eat breakfast (I often have a bottle of Gatorade or a can of Dr. Pepper in the morning at work though). For lunch, I always get fast food: usually a Big Mac meal at McDonald's or Double-Burger combo at Wendy's or similar. I never "super-size" anything. The meals they give you should be plenty to survive on and truly this is the meal that primarily fuels me right now. I can eat a Double Big Mac meal, but rarely get it because that much isn't needed (by rarely I mean like 2% of the time). It's like gnolam said: input < output (or in my case, input ~= output). I barely eat anything for supper most of the time. There are some days that I don't eat anything all day. I'm a picky eater and predominantly only eat things I like.

I'm not claiming my diet to be healthy, but it's all I need to sustain myself with my current lifestyle (i.e., all I need to survive). There are definitely different things I could eat to improve my health a lot, and if my lifestyle became more active I would find myself eating more, but as is I can easily get by with one average sized meal for lunch plus whatever little bit more I happen to have for supper a day. And as I said, there are days I can go without eating no problem.

I maintain a weight of approximately 125 lbs with basically no conscious effort. I'm approximately 5'9" (175 cm).

Easily said. When all you want to do is sleep because you don't even want to wake to face the day, doing anything at all is a challenge. If you (meaning "anyone") can't comprehend or fathom this, then I envy you and hope you never enter such a state.

That being said, I had my wife kick me out of bed this morning before she went to sleep (she works the night shift). Did 10 push-ups, 10 crunches and then jogged a lap around the neighborhood. I would love to go back to bed right now, but I need to work on something. I plan on using the Wii Fit for an exercise before lunch (probably aerobics + yoga).

I'm sorry to hear that, at a weight of 89.x kg I'm not the slimmest person either, but while I don't do much about it I'm not really bothered either, I have other things to worry about.

What I said erlier was more like a guideline from someone who's never really been there and done that but has seen many other try and fail, and from what I can gather, loosing weight naturally by working out is the best way, but of course avoid eating more than enought is a good idea too, but I don't wanna!

I hope you find more motivation to work out.
