It helps to start off slow. Set reasonable and achievable goals.

What do I mean? Here's a simple goal: "Actually go to the gym." (Vs. run 5 miles in 30 minutes that's pretty attainable Smile)

Once you're there then start small there as well. I started by walking (I mean WALKING) on a treadmill. I would go at 3.5 MPH (don't know that in kilos, sorry!) and alternate 5 minutes flat then 5 minutes uphill...and so on for only 30-35 minutes at a time.

Make working out an easy commitment to your lifestyle - and make sure you don't discourage yourslef by comparing your progress to others. I can promise you your success is totally dependant on your attitude. It should be pretty easy as long as you take small steps forward.

-From an ex-fat guy.

I always found it safe when I was more fit, and wanting to loose weight that I just did things in moderation, and i was exersising regularly... 3x cardio + about 3x strength... not always on the same day....

well, cardio was usually 5x per week...

anway, pok, wanna have a competition to see who makes 20 kg first?

FYI, i'm 265 lbs(give or take) and thats about... hmm... 120-130 kg, so maybe it's an unfair advantage towared me, but hey, its a friendly bit.

Hahaha. I'm in on that kind of bet with my friends this summer. So far it's going against my favor. We "put up" $10 each.

I lost 5 kilos in 4 weeks.

Simple. I now eat more and do less than before I started.

Eliminate carbs

I could starve and throw up everything I eat...if there wasn't a chance of death involved.

bodybuilding.com has some nice tips...

If you eat sugar, it causes an insulin spike, and this in turn will cause your body to transform the nutrients you consume, into fat, rather then offloading it to your muscles which would help them grow.

I've started going down to the gym since a few weeks now. I eat more, but I eat more carefully. If I do it right, I should be able to lift an extra 10lb or so each week.

Also drink a lot of water, not only does it fill you up, but water is needed by your body to burn fat out of the cells. This also means that you should consume less salt (salt is good for you, but in moderation). Too much salt causes your body to expel water from the cells, and this in turn causes it to be much harder to burn fat.

Some vegetables like cucumber actually burn more calories then it gives you due to your body trying to get energy out of it.

You should also eat more often, but smaller quantities. If you only eat twice a day (lunch and dinner), you're starving your body in between. Since your body feels hungry, it will become lethargic and try to convert energy into fat, and also it decides that the best place for energy is your muscles, so it eats that first.

Nowadays, I eat a fair sized healthy breakfast at around 8, a fruit at 10, lunch at 12, more fruit or snack at 14 or 15:00, more fruit and snack at 17:00, dinner at 19:00, and then a final think before I go to bed. If I do gym (3 times a week), I do it at around 17:00 meaning I eat my snack an hour earlier, and right after gym I have a whey protein shake.

A glass of milk is a good way to go before sleep. Gives you slow burning nutrients and keeps you full.

etc... etc...

+1

I cannot brag that I have lost much weight(from 120 to 105 in about 2-3 months) as I still look like behemoth in the pics :shock: but it would be probably much more effective with some kind of physical activity 8)

I'd recomend to read
this this
book were it is explained why people cannot lose weight even on good diets, whats happening with the body with age. Some people eat really small amount of food and still cant loose weight I personally thought they are bullshitting me but here is explained why and how to change it to normal. Its readable and understandable not a boring full of terms book.
