Hey Basilers! Once again, I need help from Basil's finest. My body simply disgusts me and using my time and determination, I would love to LOSE WEIGHT. I would not mind turning some of it into muscle so please, when assisting me, let that thought roll in your mind for a bit. I am not a troll, please do not assume so. I am a very teased child whose self-esteem suffers because of my weight. Whether I was teased or not, I would still want to lose weight. And on that note, let me tell you about myself! :D Edit: OH YEAH! I forgot I had a Wii Fit but does that help at all? Also, what's the healthiest cereal possible? I can make due with any possible toppings or combinations that may need to be added "fruit, etc" I am a terrible overweight (186 lbs at 17). I do not play any sort of sports so this weight is not due to muscle or anything. I have a bad amount of lower leg fat (underside of my legs near my ankles), a bad case of man-boobs (moobs), A rather jutting-out stomach, flabby thighs, and a little extra fat near the underside of my arms (near my elbow, commonly referred to as "flat tires"). Alright! I have access to a lot of training specific weights ranging in pounds from 5 pounds to 25 pounds, I can use a treadmill, and have access to equipment similar to these http://correctfigure.com/pics/exercise_equipment.jpg . I am not afraid of work and will do anything to either lose this weight and convert some of said lost wait to muscle. I can do 100 Crunches comfortably but only about 10-15 push-ups. Any sort of advice is deeply appreciated from an overweight person trying to not die before I'm 50 ^ ^" . Any exercise enthusiasts, what can I do exercise-wise (diet can wait, but I eat pretty well) to correct my gooey marshmallow exterior? To you generous, kind-hearted Basilers who would take time from your day to assist me, I thank you from the deepest part of my heart Er, to those few that posted swimming.. one reason I'm trying to lose weight is so I can swim.. I sort of get made fun of at the beach because obviously, being a marshmallow, when you move, you jiggle To DarkWater below me, I am about 5"7-5"8

I don't know about exercise, but you should try eating a bunch of small meals instead of the standard 3 meals.

Go on a diet fat boy! Jk OT: Run on a treadmill? Eat veggies and less fattening foods? Do crunches on the ball thing.

For starters, though I know it helps little, all my sodas have been substituted for water, I used to take in 1800-2000+ calories (damn processed foods) but now I skip breakfast and lunch, and eat moderate foods for dinner (yogurt, fruit, granola, haven't manned up to veggies yet )

http://www.profil3.com/group/1937 This is Dimo's 10 week challenge (the one from last year). It WILL help, if you want to gain muscle or lose weight. Edit: You're skipping breakfast? You're just going to gain weight then. What will help is if you take 6 smaller meals a day instead of 3 big ones. Skipping food isn't going to help you; rather, you should just keep your metabolism running smoothly throughout the day.

Stick a carrot in your piehole and go jug, genius. Easy as that.

Your diet has to change, so try cutting down on carbs like rice and pasta.

Go on runs around your neighborhood/ on your treadmill?, start off with running for 10 minutes and add time every now and then. Do as many pushups and situps you can before showering. Eating a bigger breakfast will result in less hunger throughout the day, I think.

If you don't run for at least 30 minutes, you won't burn any fat. Replace any liquid you drink to water.
