Hi,
I am basically looking for any advice and tips/hints for losing weight as healthily and quickly as possible. I am 6’0 and 248 lbs, I believe that I have let myself get this heavy because I (along with friends/colleagues) don’t physically look this heavy. I have broad shoulders which is why I look more in proportion than other people at my weight, never the less I am much, much heavier that I expected and want to be!
I have set myself a 20 week kind of diet plan where I aim to lose 19/20 lbs so 1lb per week in reality. I have never taken dieting seriously and could do with all the key info on how to do it quickly, but as healthily as possible. I have basically cut out all junk foods, so for instance my current meal plan looks as follows:
Breakfast – Cereal (Shreddies/Weetabix)
Lunch – Ham/Tuna Salad Sandwich, Apple and Banana
Dinner – General meal such as Lasange ect.
I think that Breakfast and Lunch are pretty ok but I have no idea what foods to eat for dinner, or any easy dishes that I can rustle up (not the best cook!)
I play football between 1-3 times a week (5 a side/Sunday mornings) and my fitness is generally okay for that. I am looking to do 2-3 runs a week, starting with 1-2 miles then building up as and when I am able to so any help with running would really be useful, I tend to go too fast which results in me struggling to continue after 1-1.5 miles so aiming to go at a steady pace.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I am naturally quite broad my ultimate aim is to trim down to around 200 lbs, but really I think I need confidence I can lose weight and if I can achieve 20lbs in 20 weeks and get down to 228-232 by July I would be very happy with that.
Thanks Again
