I like running and skating (ice and roller blading). I grew up playing sports such as baseball, soccer, basketball and hockey (ice and roller), all which are great for toning and building lean muscles. Since I am not really playing sports anymore (other than the occassional game with at family picnics), I enjoy running - something I have done all my life no matter what sport I've played.

I also shoot baskets, which is a decent workout in itself, and not so much running. You could also do low-key sport training like shooting baskets, hitting the batting cages, practice basic soccer/volleyball moves - stuff like that.

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.

It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.

Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.

Good LUCK!

I ride my bike to work and back although sometimes I do get a lift. Have also bought a lot of hard wood timber and have built a workbench and out door seats. Now planning on pot plant stands and outdoor table. I have done a handy women's course to give me some know how and courage and advice on labour saving tools. However at present still using hand saw for accuracy. Also thinking of gym work and swimming but I do like to see results in the time spent not just muscle.

I currently play basketball, which I'm very focused on for stuff with scholarships but when I was younger I swam on swim team for 8 years and that builds a beautiful body like no other.
