I'm 19 and I'm tired of being fat

Scariies Posts: 1 Joined: 2003/09/17	2003/09/18, 07:46 PM As stated in the subject I'm 19, 6'2" and 220lbs (mind you thats not muscle - its all flab). I've gained over 20lbs in the last say 3 months thanks to playing video games on the computer and drinking sodas night and day. I used to workout everyday so I know the muscle is there, somewhere but it really needs to come out. I plan on joining the marines in january and I really want these last few months to get into shape before I go off onto bootcamp. Since this site is named "free trainers" I figured I could ask someone to train me via online :) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You mentioned 2 things right off that you obviously know you need to change. Sodas and being sedentary too much. A soda a day will add 15# a year. so cut those out and you are on the right path. Bootcamp will bust your butt so you are right in wanting to get a jumpstart. do what effalunt said and check out the programs and nutrition planner on this site. The keep reading the posts for lots of great usable info. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
