If you are in good general health and really know your physical limits then start, however if you are overweight and could possible have high B.P. or any other medical condition it really is a good idea just to check in w/your primary Dr. & run your diet & exercise routine past them & make sure they feel it is safe. Now to start off with a balanced diet is essential. Eat every 3 hours, something healthy. Keep your refined sugar intake LOW or none. Keep your carbs to a minimum. Eat wheat or grain carbohydrates, NO WHITES! No white flour, no white sugars, that is just a must. If you have carbs do it in moderation, a small baked potato, plain, no butter, and no sour cream, just plain. And it is true to eating right after your workout will really benefit the muscle. Eat protein after a work out ASAP.
If you start eating every 3 hours & working out your body will soon realize that you are no longer starving it so it will stop storing all the fats and will release them to help give your body the energy it needs for your workouts. This does take a couple weeks for you body to realize, so be patient. And another huge thing to remember is you have to burn more calories than you take in!
And look up on the Internet for the exact carb content in certain fruits. Be careful, some like bananas are very high in carbs. and sugars. This will raise your blood sugar levels and trigger a sugar craving like a mad person. This is hard at first and can be frustrating. Believe me I know. I am a female and a sugar addict. Hard being married to such a disciplined person that has a body fat of 5% but my husband works really hard at it. I will say this, it doesn't happen over night, but stick with it, start listening to your body not the TV adds for weight loss or what others are saying. You will find your nitch and you will start seeing the results. I used Billy Blanks dvds to get started a few years back, which really kicked my butt in to gear. Then I went to the gym a few weeks later and started the elliptic and weight training. I went from a size 10-12 to 4-6, it can be done! Doing about 45-60min of cardo & weights 4-5 times a week is great. Even if all you can do is cardio 1 day, that is fine. Just watch your calorie intake, cut the sugars, cut the carbs and start moving it will happen. Even if you just walk around your neighborhood to start off with, just walking, then start the power walking. It all depends on how in shape you are right now. GOOD LUCK, YOU CAN DO IT!

First of all you need to look at your diet and cut your sugars and fats. Then you need to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. The 45 minute thing is not true, but don't over 60 minutes at a time.
Do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.
The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!
Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.
Good luck and stick at it.

eat breakfast-doesn't matter what-eat something in the morning, put a side 20-30 minutes for exercise(morning, afternoon, or evening as long as you make time to do some type of exercise) eat more fruits and vegetables and smaller portions for lunch and dinner. Don't call it a diet, call it a change in eating habits. If you like to drink milk, go from 100% to 2% to 1% to skim (less fat) if you like donuts, change it to a fruit any kind of fruit. Before you know it you lose at least one pant size

eat right, exercise and be smart about life. keep yourself out of stressful situations...that can put on weight gain. trust me. i lost 30 pounds after taking myself out of major league stress. *hugs* and most of all...believe in yourself! it will happen...just wait on it. sometimes you'll fall to a certain weight and stop for a while. remember that is just part of the process. dont' let it get you down. if you gain muscle your weight WILL go up for a day or two...but it'll go down just as fast. again, personal experience. *hug* you CAN do it! i believe in you. also i have to say to drink a lot of water throughout the days. that helped me also.
pray....write in a journal if you want...anything positive to keep you going..and i'm always here, so you can look in my profile for my contact info. email, IM and 360.

exercise and work out on a regular basis. other than that, don't eat too much fatty stuff. also, whenever u feel just a little bit hungry, rather than eating, drink lots of water.
