Thing is, you need to find something you can enjoy, so it becomes part of your routine, and something you miss when you don't do it. If you have to force yourself to do something, it'll last about 2 weeks, IME.. So there is no correct answer.

I used to go swimming a couple of times a week. That was great when I was so unfit that a half hour session got me knackered  , but got seriously boring when I found myself swimming up and down for an hour or more, and still didn't feel I'd had a decent amount of exercise. Then there's the filthy floor in the changing rooms that always bugged me, and sometimes it was too crowded with kids and nattering housewives swimming in tandem at about 0.001 length per hour.

Can't abide gyms, so that's out.

Cycling is suiting me at the moment, but not doing enough now the weather is less amenable. Should be improving soon, though.

You've done well though, it's very noticable that you have lost a lot of weight.

After warming up (stretch or a 5 min run/cycle) start each session with a big lift session.  Either squats, deadlift, cleans and presses.  start at 70% of your body weight and do 4 sets of 4 reps with 2-3 minutes rest.  Build the weight up as you get more confident and stronger.

Crikey.. I doubt I could squat/deadlift/etc 50kg, let alone 125kg - my knees have enough trouble with just me on them

That's why I started with swimming and cycling. I don't think my joints could take much punishment either.

The best way to loose weight is to do weight training.  Sounds wierd I know but you also have to eat more (which I love of course).

Eating:
- remove all refined carbs from diet.
- reduce fat
- eat lean meats, lots of lean meat (I go through 2-3 chickens a week as well as fish and beef)
- eat 5 times a day
- eat more carbs at breakfast and taper it off during the day
- eat a little protein at breakfast and increase it during the day
- no alcohol
- greens such as brocoli and salad are your friends and should make up at least 50% of your daily food intake.

I like to eat normally and add a mid morning and mid afternoon meal of a protein bar or some grilled chicken breast.

Sod that diet then

You could always put your bike on a turbo trainer, to keep fit in bad weather.

Had been thinking about that, and casually scanning the local freecycle for an exercise bike.

There you go Chris, eat lettuce off your wife's naked body before meals, you'll be too knackered to eat anything else!
Oh, do be sure it doesn't go limp, there's nothing worse than a limp bit at times like that!

Barossa out the back of Sandhurst.  I can show you where while on a patrol I stood on some grass which turned out to have grown over a large pit.  In one step I went right up to my neck in full gear.  Rifle stayed dry though

A good soldier always makes sure that is the case, eh Guffer?

vegetable soups , low fat protein (fish,chicken not fried, instead cooked in oven) , less carbohydrates, no sweets
 
heavy menus in morning and lunch.. evening menus light, nothing after and no fast food
 
exercise twice a day.. treadmill is ok.. minimum 2+2 kms a day..  and finally no sex (sex hormones will increase your body rate).. within 30 days you will loose 7-8 kgs

so thats how i have managed to keep my weight to 56kg


 i think i have lost my christmas weight this week i can do my work trousers up last week i struggled
