The vast majority of people will lose weight and get stronger and healthier by eating a balanced nutritious diet and exercising properly. There really is no excuse. Make the time, make the plans and just do it. Just make it a priority. Nothing else gets in the way! You can do it!!

Eat 5 times a day but smaller meals each time. Eat protein in the morning within 30 mins of waking up. Drink nothing but water. Cut out most fruit. Eat lots of greens and beans and cut carbs and sugars down. Do both cardio and weight training. No matter how little you do just do something several times a week (but make sure it includes weights.) Do weights before your cardio.

Meal sample:
7am: breakfast - 1 egg white with 1 whole egg scrambled; handful of spinach; 2 glasses of water
930am: snack - handful of almonds and dried cranberries; glass of water
12pm: lunch - romaine lettuce wrap with 2 slices of turkey with mustard (add a few raisins for sweet); 2 glasses of water
3pm: snack - handful of sugar snap peas; glass of water
6pm: dinner - black beans; spinach salad with peas, broccoli, carrots; light dressing; grilled chicken slices; 2 glasses of water
930pm: 2 tsp of almond butter before bed; glass of water

Do wall pushups, lunges, and bent rows with light weights - start at 20 each work up to 100 each. The walk/jog as fast as you can for 2 mins, then walk/rest until you can do it again for 90secs, repeat for 60s, 45s, 30s, 20s. Do this routine at least 3x week.

No one can do it for you. Just do it!

What an idiotic post. Why didn't I think of that? - "just do it?" huh...that's a great idea! Exercise and diet...you say? That's the first I've heard of that. Brilliant!

But that IS my point. Just do it! We live in such a pathetic feel sorry for society it makes me want to scream. You make your priorities so make a healthy lifestyle a priority and stop the pity parties.

Two TEASPOONS of almond butter before I go to sleep? Wow, with that to look forward to every night, I'm sure to stay totally motivated!

Haha!

I'd rather be fat- I like food to much - that diet sucks.
