Up until a few years ago, I was quite fit. However, I gained 50 pounds in six months. I can not seem to get this weight off. I have done and tried everything. I am looking for a very intense workout. I really want to be able to wear shorts this summer and not feel bad about myself. I am willing to workout 2 hours a day. I am the type of person that if I don't see results fairly fast-I'll quit. However, I am the type of person that is willing to work extremely hard. Therefore, weighing the aspects of my personality I know that I need a very intense workout. Some may argue that I want to start slow...but I know my personality. I've done the research and realize that weight lifting is best, but I can not afford membership to a gym or gym equipment right now. Therefore, I'm looking for plain cardiovascular or toning exercises. If anyone can help me...I would really appreciate it. As far a food, I'm doing Weight Watchers. Should I do something else?

running, jumping rope are the only cardio exercises I know without machines. As for toning up, toning up is basically shaping your body and loosing fat to show that shape(I think). To shape your body your gonna need to build some muscles so a pair of dumbells would help at least. Im not sure what the weight watchers diet is. There are however millions of topics on these boards about diets to loose fat so if you search for some using fit buddy search engine Im sure you'll find your answers.
