wow some really good points so far

just to clarify i know that it wont be a quick fix, im not looking for that at all, i know this will take time which is why i trying to find ways to keep me motivated and stay on track! and yes, i think my best motivation will be watching my body change as i loose the pounds!

i went to www.fitday.com and i got the program and i found that doing the kind of set up wizard thing it asks what weight id like to get down too, im not really looking to loose it like that, im looking to go from 115 down to maybe 110 or 105 but just loose the fat weight n keep muscle weight so im not sure what i should do in that regard to the program, but the food calculator is awsome and ill be using that definatly!

i know that i have only started recently and my body will be no where near ready for a huge overhaul, but i think its whats needed to get my out of my treating my body like shit rut im in.

so now i have to go and get my diet in check, i dont think ill splurge in the 1st couple of weeks tho :P and yes your right going for a jog outside is much better that in the gym on a tredmil. im going to read more in to HIIT when i get the chance.

and ENORRIS, what you said in your last post got too me, i dont want the weight off just for a while, i dont want a quick fix! i want it off n too stay off but in order too do that i have to change a fair bit about my lifestyle... and im actually looking forward too it
