Most gyms are full of knobbers but if you can go between 9am-11am you'll find there are fewer of them.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to insult you or anything - but before you do anything, being the weight you say you are - you need to go to your doctors for a health check - heart, blood pressure - that sort of thing.

I also believe that doctors can prescribe some sort of exercise schemes at your local authority gym (free of charge I think?) if they think it is beneficial to a patient.

I think if you can get on such a scheme it would be perfect for you as you will be properly monitored and coached - and not just another punter at the gym.

Personally I think this is the best way for you to go.

We at Nuts are all right behind you.

Go Johnny, go Johnny!

I did however pack on 9 pounds in 12 days in England. Its pork pies, cheese pasties, Frazzles and sausage rolls which ever way you turn over there.

Find what works for you Johnny but remember its a marathon and not a sprint. Agree with Bread on not weighing yourself every five minutes either - do that on the first of every month.
Kill the pop / soda (I don't know what its called any more) too. Its shit.

However,you wouldn't want to be trapped in a lift with him, for fairly obvious reasons.

However, I did put on a couple of kilos over Xmas and lost my 6 pack in a newly formed tyre as a result of which I allowed myself to be roped into the 20k calorie burn challenge which I've now thrown myself into. Excluding the anaerobic stuff I've done 3250 since Sunday afternoon and am knackered and aching (exactly what I wanted to avoid) but definitely feeling holier than thou. I know it's not a lot for a youngster but I can't run any distance these days so it's spinning and body combat classes for me. Aerobic classes are great for those with the attention span of a goldfish like me as you get carried along with the group momentum. So if you're struggling with gym motivation may I recommend signing up for a few classes e.g. Les Mills and complement them with fitness Pilates or Yoga to develop flexibility and balance.
And the key rule is to ignore what anyone else is doing or saying whether it's young lads hogging the equipment whilst spending most of their time texting, wrinkly cliques who all have "their space" or large groups of women who aren't use to having males in their Yoga class - it's your workout and you've paid for it.

For myself, I think I will have to do something, but I cant start until I've got rid of (eaten), all the biscuits and stuff we got for Christmas. There's still quite a bit left. Although I have started, by parking the car an extra 5 feet from the door, (you can't rush into these things).
I've found in the past that portion sizes are the first thing to tackle, and trying to reduce salt, sugar, and fat.
I'm great at doing this during the day, however, everything goes to rat shit after tea and I'm in and out of the kitchen nearly all night. I also find that before I can try anything, I have to work my way into the right mental state, and no matter how much I want to, if I have, (or had), any exercises to do, it was always worthwhile having someone to do it with, and then you are more likely not to cancel for minor reasons.
