Hi guys, first of all I just want to say hello to all you beautiful people out there who are registered to this forum and are or must be genuinely interested in loosing their weight and reaching that goal of weight loss.

OK, here is my short story in a few lines. I just wanted to say that I am now 27 years old and use to do boxing about 6 years ago. Now those where the good days, the discipline was their and the motivation was their and of course time.

I use to weigh 85kg when i was 21, I use to boxercise for 2 1/2 hours three times a week. I use to run for 3 miles twice a week.

PROBLEMS IN CURRENT AGE/TIME
I'm now 27, i work night shifts. I have the whole day to myself. I recently tried to start up boxing again but i got a shoulder injury that took me out for about 6 weeks. I get cramps allot. I know weigh 106kg. I really need to sort myself out but i don't know where to start. I am not really keen on pills and powders.

Any help, point to the right direction and suggestions will be greatly appreciated........
 
Hi and welcome.

Here are my suggestions for getting started.

The first thing I'd suggest is registering for a free account on FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal or Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, Food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate and starting to log your food. This will let you see how many calories you're eating and how your nutrition levels are breaking down. Once you know that, you'll be able to see more clearly where you can make adjustments, cut back, change your nutrition, etc.

The next thing I'd suggest is checking out the various sticky posts in the exercise area of the forum (Weight Loss Through Exercise - Weight Loss Forum). There are some very good posts on exercise, both cardio/aerobic and on incorporating weight lifting into your exercise plans.

I'd also suggest starting a diary in the weight loss diary area (Weight Loss Diary - Weight Loss Forum) as well as reading and participating in other diaries. This is a good way to make updates to your progress and to get support from others. It helps to find the diaries of people who have successfully lost weight (or are losing weight) and reading through them as well. Following the diaries of those who have been successful is both inspiring and informative.

Finally, I'd say you should read as much as you can of the posts on the board, especially anything that's marked "sticky". There is a ton of good information around here and a lot of times questions that new folks have has already been answered very thoroughly - so do take the time to look around and read. :)

Hope that helps you to get started.
 
Thank you
