what do i do now
ok so recently i decided to change my eat/drink habits to lose some weight i started with switch from cokeacola to lemon filzer water in a can which ive been drinking alot of which i rarely drink soda i also switched from bagels for sammichs to wholegrain white bread.
Now i dont really eat any sugary things as theres none really in the house i mainly eat turkey sandwichs with cheese and mustard on the wholegrain bread and if im hungry later i snack on salsa and torilla chips. So i was wondering what should i do now to further my weight loss food/drink wise?

Re: what do i do now
I quite like salads. I get those pre-washed salad mixes from Safeway. I put them in a big bowl, then I put other greens like bell peppers, cukes, celery & tomatoes in. I put some olive oil & plain yogurt on. Some pepper & hot sauce.
Then I eat it with bread on the side. I've seen some news reports that those who eat yogurt & walk regularly tend to remain at their present weight as opposed to gaining any. Both those things tend to help with the health of one's gut.

A balanced diet is what you need. I'd go with moonmeister's idea of salads, but not the ones with just vegetables gotta have some chicken or something aswell.

Well if you're looking to loose weight first I would suggest more Cardio than weight lifting. Once you loose alot of fat then you should begin to think about lifting.

Nah cardio is stuff like running, bikes, cross trainers. Try working out a 1.5 mile route and just jog through it, keep a slow pace to being with. One you can up you're speed a little bit try running further distances.

Re: what do i do now
I'd suggest doing some HIIT if you're serious about weight lose. It's going to be harder but will waste less of your time to produce the same results.

Re: what do i do now
Jump rope. It will beat your ass. Jumping jacks, lunges are all stuff you can do at home. Feeling a little unmotivated? Pop a caffeine pill first. Seriously, its not that hard. Find 30 minutes a day.
Screw soda, if you really want it have a diet one. I drink watermelon juice most of the time when I want something sweet to drink.
Also, wholegrain bread usually isnt "wholegrain" Look for the first ingredients on the list to be whole weat. Also, there is brown rice and wheat pasta, tortillas all sorts of stuff.
Throw in more veggies and fruits. Lean meat like chicken. Tuna is good and cheap as hell. Once you find a few meals you like you'll start to actually enjoy eating healthy.
