My aim : To lose 80-90 pounds

Currently

Age : 22

My Rules

No Alcohol :mad:
No Soft Drinks :mad:
No Sugary Foods :mad:
Gym twice a week
1 Hour walking every day

floggg

looks like a plan. I would suggest diet should be you're first port of call. Those rules are solid, but there is more to it than that. I would suggest having a read through the stickies, and if you want advice, post up a sample diet in the main thread for constructive feedback, or check the other beginner threads.

Eat regularly but small, lots of protein, low carbs, plenty of fresh veg, lean meant and fish, lots of water.

Man you must have a lot of muscle on ya. By the sounds of things when ya drop the weight you'll look like a beast.
Google keto!
Best of luck and I'll be reading.

When ya go to the gym do squats, deadlifts and barbell rows dude.
Try and get your hour walk in before breakfast. And sometimes do an extra one at night if you're up for it!

Right I know i started this last week with the best intentions but due to family commitments and a huge party ! I found it hard to commit to my plans

However I Have been browsing and researching what I feel can help me the most for my eating habits and started this regime this morning.

Brekfast

2 Scrambled Eggs with 2 Slices Wholegrain toast
1 Bowl Bran Flakes
1 Glass Apple Juice
1 Portion of fruit mix (minus the juice)

Lunch

Chicken Salad
1 Glass Apple Juice
1 Portion of fruit mix (minus the juice)

Dinner

Cod Portion
Brocolli
Carrots
2 potatoes

1 Glass Apple Juice

I've also been continually drinking water throughout the day.

Had a 5km walk this afternoon but will be busy tonight so i'll do double in the mornning before brekfast.

cardio,shoot me

id reccomend having 6 meals spaced through out the day opposed to 3. The spaces between the 3 meals always made me hungrier and more susceptible to snacking
