I've decided right now, at 11:42 EST, that I am gonna make a real attempt at losing weight and being a healthy person.

I was laying in bed tonight, and could just hear my heart pounding very fast just to keep up. Sometimes I get a feeling like I am having a cramp in my chest area. It's time to do something about it, I am done worrying about how unhealthy of a person I am.

I am 6'3 192 lbs right now, and by the next month or two, I am going to make an effort to try and lose 5-10 lbs. No more taco bell runs at 2am after I am done with a study sesssion. No more going to arbys or chipotle on my break at work. No more pizza rolls or whatever god awful things I eat at home. I hardly engage in any physical activity most days.

I haven't really been in shape since I was in high school (four years ago) and have trouble even walking up a long flight of stairs at times.

Here is what I am thinking of making my daily eating routine (suggestions on this are more than welcome, but I can't cook fwiw)

Breakfast:
cereal with skim milk
oj
banana

lunch:
turkey sandwich with a low fat cheese
carrots, or an apple or something

dinner:
subway turkey and ham on wheat
(really looking for a kind of chip or cracker here that would be healthy enough for me to eat)
fat free yogurt

I am gonna give up pop as well, going to try and just drink water (aside from the oj)

I plan on starting to go out and run every other day-- a mile or two to start and work my way up (used to be able to run 10 with ease haha), and alternate those days with either 100 pushups or 100 crunches on those days.

Do you guys have any suggestions that might help me on my way, either with a simple workout routine or a meal suggestion? I can't afford any gym memberships atm, or any workout equipment.

Is there anyone else planning to start something like this pretty soon, or is already trying at the moment? I feel like if I am documenting something it may go better than previous half-assed attempts, so I think I just might keep this as an on-going thread of how its going

seriously?

you aren't fat you just need some cardio work.

6'3 192 ?

mbsfn

and ive said this multiple times in the last 6 months or so. and im good for a week and then it's back to my old shitty ways.

It sounds like your lack of exercise is the major problem....you're not even that heavy

Go to a cardiologist

duh

Holy fuck people are retarded these days.

If your chest hurts your first reaction shouldn't to go on a diet so you can lose the 5 lbs overweight that you supposedly are. Your first reaction should be to make an appointment with a cardiologist.

Skinny people have heart problems all the time too, not just fat people. Stop being a moron and go to the doctor before you die.

quit being such a fucking crybaby, its an online forum, heavin forbid someone says something that upsets you...

SERIOUSLY. GO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST.

If you get chest pains it might not be anything serious but it might be something very serious (but fixable). But if it is something serious but fixable, and you don't get it diagnosed and fixed, it could kill you. You seriously need to go to a cardiologist and have it checked out.

This most likley has nothing to do with you weight.

Like I said, many people who are in great physical shape have major heart problems that need to be fixed. Just like many people who are in great shape can still get cancer or get bad eyesight or whatever. Yes, being fat will increase your chances, but that's beside the point. The point is that YOU HAVE CHEST PAIN. Thus you need a cardiologist to check that out. Really. No joke. Do it.

no one is upset...we laughed, it made me smile, refer to first post sir

lol, I'm 6'ft 175 and I constantly get called skinny. You have 3 inches, and 17 pounds on me... loooool

If i go through this routine and stuff is still happening with it i am gonna go to the doctor. i know it sounds ignorant, but i really just think its because of the poor choices ive been making

I appreciate responses like this too though of course

That's actually a really really really really bad idea. You should go ASAP. But it's your life so do what you want I guess

okay as long as you go to a cardiologist...please PLEASE do this. I know you feel like it's your life choices but whatever, first go to a doctor. DO THIS.

even if he gives you a clean bill of health, there's nothing wrong with eating healthier. you can start reshaping your body (those 192 lbs might not be correctly distributed obv) into what you want.

just eliminating fast food and soda pop and exercising is prob all you really need here, imo. gl.
