Im 19 about 6ft 290 lbs male. Since i started college i have been going to the gym everyday and doing a cardio workout for 45 minutes and then sit ups and push ups. I have also cut down on my eating. I was wondering if this is a good start or do i need more.

Hope this helps...Good Luck !
There is no magic pill,diet or formula to lose weight. It takes hard work and detication to reach your goal. Based on my 13 years of bicycle racing experience, I would encourage you to eat a well balanced diet based on the 5 basic food groups. Also eat a lot of fruit, and raw veggies and salads for snacks,and stay away from the junk and fast food. When you do eat your meals it's very important to eat just one serving and don't heap up your plate.Most servings are between a 1/2 and 1/3 cup. If you choose to eat red meat only have a piece the size of a deck of playing cards.That's all one really needs. You also might want to check with your county extention office they will have a lot of helpfull literature for you and most of the time it's free. And don't forget to exercise. I've put in a couple of links that might help too ...Good Luck !

It is a very good start. I need more details to give further advice but here is what I did.
Don't be overly concerned about weight. Focus more on looking good and being healthy.
Diet is extremely important. To slim your body you must:
Burn more calories than you eat.
Cut your fat intake.
Eat three cups of fat free low cal yogurt a day (make sure it has live cultures in it) and pineapples. This helps you break down your food.
Do 45-60 min. of aerobic exercise a day (preferably before you eat in the morning). This will attack the fat.
Do 30 min of weight training three times a week. This will build lean muscle which will in turn burn fat.
I lost 40 lbs in two months and have kept it off for two more months doing this. I also took my body fat % from 30% to 14%
Be Blessed
