Don't like diet, so I went cold turkey. I replaced sugar with Splenda for my coffee. I started jumping on my son's trampline. Great, low impact exercise. Now I can feel my abs!!! I lost 25 pouds and have kept it off for 2 years. I eat what I want, but never after 8:30 PM.
Good luck on your goals. The little guy is really growing up.

Brother, I hear you. I hate Diet ANYTHING! It never tastes like anything good. Went on a more organic diet than I had before. No artificial sweeteners, no overly processed corner store Crap that is so popular here on our campus. Unless I can pronounce (a majority) of the ingredients, I don't put it in my body [sept for sports drinks & the occasional Energy Drink... What can I say except "PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR" ;D]
add that to my workout routine, and I am MONEY man!

Thanks for the great tips Max. I really appreciate it. O0 The Splenda idea for my coffee sounds good because I am a coffee freak. I love the stuff but I'm a "I like a little coffee with my sugar and cream" kind of guy. So that Splenda idea sounds really good, and I have tried it before. It's not really bad. I definitely hear you on the sodas. I stopped drinking them about 2 months ago. There is nothing nutritional about them. The trampoline exercising sounds good too. I was actually just checking out some of the smaller ones made just for exercising the other day at my local sports store. I'm not really into running. Plus if the weathers bad you can't really go out anyway. I was thinking I could get one of those trampolines, which is only about $35 for the one I saw, and I could even watch a little TV while jumping. Someone else told me jumping jacks is another good aerobic exercise. Thanks again for the tips and encouragement. Peace bro.

Good Luck on becoming a firefighter man. As for the diet what I have discovered about myself is that if I want to lose weight change the diet. For me it's turkey sandwiches and not the crappy oscer meyer stuff get the real roasted turky from teh deli. I know it costs more , but it makes it so much easier to stick with it. no mayo I just use mustard spicy brown and regular. use the salad in a bag as filler for your sandwiches also I put sheese on them cause I realy like cheese once again stay away from teh velvita processed stuff only buy the real cheese. I bounce between the deli and the regular stuff that you can buy in any grocery store. Also reward yourself on the weekends you can have literaly whatever you want on the weekends but stick out the lean diet during the week. Also try and eat at least 3 times a day not a whole lot of food just enough to keep you from being hungery. I try and eat around 4 times a day.
I hope this helps you out man I know this is what works for me when I am trying to drop a few pounds.
