Yeahs that's a good routine too, one I've started recently is this..
Get two chairs and do 100 push ups, as soon as you get tired stop and do crunches until you get tired from crunches then go back to push ups until you can hit 100 push ups straight.

What are the two chairs for?
|
ROFL! i was wondering where the punchline was for the chairs lol!
Anyway just do it pyramid style, do like 20 puch ups, than take a 30 second break than go down one or 2 push ups each time. Than build your way back up. The thing is NEVER quit, do as many as you can. That will get your blood pumping happy:

When I was at the RAF careers office, they basically told me to fuck off and come back when I had put on 1.5 stone cry:

What I reccomend, if you wanna lose weight, first and foremost, do it the healthy way, or you will regret it later on. 2 pounds a week would be best, 4-5 at max. If you are serious about it I would talk to a professional. Take the words "sweets" out of your dailogue. What are you having for desert? Fruit. Also, if possible, try to eat 5-6 small meals a day. Always leave the table feeling a little hungry. That is healthy. I also reccomend drinking water. It has no calories, etc, and is great when you want to lose weight. As for puhsups, the certainly are the old fashioned way. I would say, do as many reps as you can, and have a total of 3 sets or so. Same with crunches. Also, don't walk. If you are going to do a mile, you might as well jog/run it. I would rotate. Monday, crunches and pushups. Tuesday, running. Don't overdo it, your body needs about 48 hours to recover. Also, I find music really helps when excercising, but maybe thats just me.
As for joining a branch of the military. Only do it if this is truly something you want to do. Because, fact is, we live in an unstable world. Don't screw yourself into thinking you are invincible/won't die or whatever. The military is a hard road, and as others said, the pay literally sucks(no offense to anyone), and benefits aren't fabulous either. However, if you are set on this, I wish you the best of luck.

All bull shit aside butters. It is fun at times (boring at most) but the fun times totally kill all the bad times that you have had. Plus it is cool seeing overseas places (even when they are shit holes). But i tell you what the first time and last time so far i have left the country for the marines was to Morocco. And i was scared shitless at first when they said our plane arrived and told us to board it. Because i didnt know what to expect. But omg that was the best time ever.

I'm pretty much doing most of that Trunks. I've actually just basically cut out breakfast and lunch. I only really eat dinner, and I keep that light, like no steaks or pork, just grilled chicken and such of that nature. I never really eat sweets myself.
I really want to whip myself into shape as soon as I can though. Someone even reccomended jogging on a treadmill with a trash bag on oOo:
I can't really jog that long either at the moment, but I usually jog, then walk a little, then jog some more.

if you feel sore from lifting weights, that is a good thing and that is when you want to lift more weights in order for blood to get to the muscle and then it will start to grow. as long as it isnt painful to lift the weights but just sore and a little hard, then do it as much as you can.

The worst thing to do is not eat. If you eat one meal a day you aren't getting the nutrients your body needs to keep healthy. You are actually hurting your body more.
Get on some Whey Protein shakes. Turn that unwanted fat into muscle. Keep your protein levels at 1g per lb of body weight.
Tuna/Chicken/Turkey is your best friend.
Rest in between weight training days. You don't want to hurt yourself.
If you do it right, you will lose most of your weight in the first couple of weeks of working out.
Cardio, Cardio, and more Cardio!
Oh, and good luck beer:

^yeah, i find that lifting helps get rid of soreness. I used to lift weights after baseball practice if my arm was tired and sore and it help alleviate the soreness completely or made it go away quicker

Youll lose weight fast by jogging with a trash bag on, unforunantly it will just be water out of your body and not fat though.

Then you end up dehydrated and under proforming since your body does things then, you dont want. Drink plenty of water, no sodas, or really anything but water. Caffine is now your enemy, as is sugar.

yeah my friend who reccomended that said his cousin did it for wrestling, where you have to drop and add pounds every week.
I've started a strict no soda thing though, just water basically. I sometimes have a glass of apple or orange juice. I've pretty much got the exercise part down, it's the diet. I hear many things from people who were like 'I got skinny by just not eating' then I hear from others 'I ate 6 small meals a day to get my metabolism going'.
