Hi,
I have joined today because I like many others want to lose weight and are seeking advice. I have one problem I don't know how. I am living in the United Kingdom and if any of you have the know how on geography you will know it rains a lot here, so it's very difficult to get motivation going on daily walks when it's often wet, and as a student I cannot afford to go to the gym, I have far more pressing concerns to deal with like pay rent.
I am 11 stone 10 and only 5 ft 6 as a male. I have had weight problems since I was 10 years old. All I have at the moment is an exercise bicycle that has been rarely used so can that help me? I'm hoping to lose weight on the belly and the leg/bum area. I have tried to lose weight a year ago but I failed because I didn't know what to do, and I didn't seem to see results. What I want to do is lose the body fat and then gain muscle. To do that I need ideas. It's pretty hard to do anything in the UK especially when everything involves cash, and I simply cannot afford to buy expensive equipment or pay for gym memberships so it's the exercise bike or something that can be done from home.
The same applies for the food/drink. I drink heavy amounts of water per day. I do not drink fizzy drinks, coffee, tea etc. It's water or cordial orange juice most of the time, and with food it's slightly harder because I'm living away from home and studying so it' usually quick fix meals in the evening so any help on that would be great.
I just need a fixed routine diet that can help me lose the bodyfat and then gain in muscle. Is there anything you guys and girls can suggest? It often leaves me very underconfident when I'm out and about, I might not sound way overweight but for my height I feel pretty large compared to friends.
Edit
I am going away to Tenerife in August so that is the main reason I want to try and look toned. I'm sorry for the lifestory here
. It's just worrying me that's all.
