Im at a point where I really have to start watching what I eat and working out again. I gained a pretty decent amount of weight the past few months and Im about 6 foot 255 lbs. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a exercise schedule and what foods to eat. Im willing to start a strict eating schedule to become fit. Thanks
I am about the same size as you. 6 months ago I was 6'1, approx 250lbs. I got down to 235 and then got a job working at a restaurant, so I get free drinks. I haven't changed my eating habits, but simply drinking much more Mtn Dew than I normally do, I am back up to 240 in a week of having the job, so my advice is, if you drink soda, cut it down to 1 a day, or none at all. It really does make a difference. Drink a lot of water and try to stay on your feet. If you are exercising, that helps a lot too, but you don't need to change dramatically if you don't mind the process being slow.
