Like others have said, the food diary is a great idea cause you'll be surprised to see what you eat during the day.
Smoking + losing weight is a myth.
It's been proven that cigarette smoking has no impact on your weight whatsoever. The only link is where some people gave up smoking and replaced the habit with snacking to kill off any cravings or to fill the void of lifting something to their mouth reguarly. Our physical habits are just as hard to break as chemical dependancies. Also some smokers would mistake a hunger or dehydration sign as a craving for a smoke sign, so instead of supplying their body with a needed substance they just had a smoke.
Guys, I'm telling you, from experience..... join the gym! You will be amazed at how quickly and easily you'll see yourself get back into shape. If you just diet it'll take a lot longer to shift those pounds.
I've been reading a few of you taking of exercise but some ppl will just focus on what they are eating. Sometimes it might not be what your eating that has you out of shape, but the lack of exercise.
Great points
The gym is a great way to lose weight quickly especially if you match it with a healthy diet.
If you know you're one of these people who diet for a few weeks and then "fall off the wagon" I'd probably reccommend just going for moderation, in otherwords don't eat a lot of anything (like don't eat 6 cookies when you should only really have one...) and don't skip anything either (fruits and veggies especially).
Depending on your body type will depend on what kind of exercise will help you lose weight better too. If you're gonna join a gym definately have an instructor design you a training program.
Otherwise if you just want to go there and do your own thing I highly suggest picking stuff that you'll know you will enjoy and stick with.
Gym work whether it's cardio or strength training is repetitive work and can become boring real fast if you're not interested.
Strength Training will help you lose weight faster than cardio workouts.
Cardio workouts will help you become fitter especially in regards to your heart and lungs.
If you can't afford a gym membership and want to lose weight with strength training, get some tension bands to work out with at home and look up how to do exercises using your own body weight. (sit ups, chin ups, push ups etc).
If you get bored with repetitive stuff.. then maybe treat yourself and take up a competitive team sport, this helps you stay in the game as you'll have team mates to encourage you to keep playing.
As for me this year I'm cutting out junk food entirely (so far so good haven't been to any fast food chains at all). I'm doing like poefiend and going back to juices, cordials and water as opposed to softdrinks and cola which is my biggest vice and I'm limiting sugar snacks and replacing them with fruit (natural sugar).
exercise wise I'm planning to start morning swimming (haven't started yet) and I'm looking into taking up martial arts (something I've always wanted to do) I'm also bike riding now and every night involves an hours walk.
I also play golf at least once a week.
I'm flirting with the idea of joining a gym too.
