Here's my problem

I used to be skinny, I mean a RAIL! I was 5'5" and 108lbs soaking wet and I could eat McDonalds all day and not see any change. After high school (1997)I joined the Air Force. It was a sit-down satellite control job. I still got out. I did a lot of hiking and rock climbing. Toward the end of my enlistment all of my friends had gone and there was no more hiking and climbing and a lot more McDonalds and sitting around watching TV when I wasn't at work sitting around and watching a screen. I left the AF at 130lbs. This was actually about where I should have been though considering I was a walking skeleton before.

Well life outside the AF wasn't much different. I got into PC and internet tech support. Lotsa sitting around and looking at a PC. Four years after the AF I weigh in at 182lbs (mainly gut and love handles). I gained the extra 50lbs due to my current job and relative inactivity. I started the job (tech support) working 4pm to 1am and had my meal break at about 9:30pm. Currently I work 3pm to midnight and have lunch at 6:30. I'm still up untill about 2am though so to stop eating at 6:30 is insane but I know you're not supposed to eat toward the end of the day when you're not going to be active anymore. Problem is I have to stop being active at about 1:30 in the afternoon.

I just recently got a membership at the YMCA and go three times a week and (to start) do 15 minutes on the bike and 25 minutes on the treadmil (briskly walking of course with a minute of running here and there).

Am I on the right track? I've also started taking Lean System 7 with 7-Keto so with any luck that'll help. I'd like to get down to about 14 or 145 really.

Any thoughts?
 
yes you're on the right track. browse thru the "fat loss" section of this site (same area you posted in) and you'll see similar stories, with much good advice. that should give you a good idea of what you'll need to do. :)
 
Well I guess my main concern was that I eat at 6:30 and then sit around untill 2AM... :(

I spose I could ride my bike at night...is there anything to increase my motivation? hahahaha
 
your motivation is very simple, do you want to have a good body or not? that's what keeps me eating right and exercising.
losing weight and getting in good shape isnt terribly hard, but people are just lazy. it does take some work & you either choose to break away from the average person, or not. :)
