I recommend Weight Watchers (portion control point system) and cardio! Good luck and congrats.

i dont have diet or exercise program but this is work for me.
replace soda with water, fruit and veggies, jogging and swimming.

Groupie girls, even the coeds who bring chocolate chip cookies (we need some energy in between the "exercise" sex!)

daily calories intake cut it in half... 2000 calories and 500 fat calories stay under that, trust me its hard at first but once you figure out what not to eat ie candy bars, mcds, bk, pizzas, etc... it becomes easy. also cut out soda and juices with over 10g sugar per bottle. i eat about 1500 cal and around 300-400 fat cals a day. 15min workout a day, pullups, pushups and situps on a yoga ball. its a regular thing for me everyday so once you get a set routine down and just check the cals on food prior to eating you should be fine.

HAHAHAHAHAHA good one :1orglaugh

Go for a walk every night before bed. You'll be surprised.

if you want to lose weight and get in best shape of your life
P90x

eat chicken and fish. salads, lots of veggies. no red meat. no soda. keep away from salt.

This sounds pretty reasonable...
I'm also very interested in checking this P90x thingy you all are talking about.
I've never heard of it, but sounds intriguing.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for all the input guys! I'll keep you posted on my weight loss progress as I get closer to my wedding day.

Seriously ? It's this job ... You sit at your computer all day and work. The best thing is to keep your metabolism going steady. Get an excercise bike or any sort of work out equipment. Use it very lightly in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Just enough to get your blood pumping (barely break a sweat if at all).

Second thing you need to do is eat more (yes you heard right) Eat breakfast, healthy bowl of cereal ... Then eat some lunch ... then eat dinner ... Healthy little snacks in between are helpful as well (like those 100 calorie snack packs)

What you need to do is retrain your metabolism. By eating regularly and excercising you are boosting your metabolic rate. If you just eat once a day your body *hibernates* and stores up fat waiting for that one meal a day. You want your body to be continuously burning energy.

I know this is common sense stuff but a lot of times people forget about the basics and just want *a pill*

About 6 years ago I wanted to get rid of a belly and love handles, did Atkins for 3 months and lost 15lb. Worked great (despite the criticism the diet gets).

This is completely true!
I've gained so much weight since I began spending more time behind my desk and less time 'on the field'.

i just signed up to this, looks solid.


right on, congrats on the success!
