As long as you take 10 hours our gym is free. It has l6 indoor basketball courts, squash and raquetball courts, an indoor track about 3 of the basketball courts, the entire second floor is full of treadmills, and the bottom floor has a weight room, rock wall, and indoor pool. It is very nice. It is pretty crappy that they charged you guys to use it.

My school has a ping pong ball table (Actually, if you get into it, it can be a pretty good cardio workout)

Chris as far as gyms go look into Planet fitness thats were i work at. As far as "diet" goes its about changing how you eat for good not until you lose the weight cause then your just going blow back up.

The problem i see with your breakfast is your getting in slow digesting carbs but your not getting any protein and you adding in sugary carbs (fruit)

For food its all pretty easy and basic.

Meats:lean beef,white meat chicken(skinless,boneless breast and tenders) white meat turkey and fish(tuna,tilapia,salmon etc..)

For lunch meats try and stay away from ham and smoked lunch meats. Stuff "honey smoked"

For dairy opt for low fat instead of full fat or nonfat. So 1% milk instead of regular.

For carbs stick to brown carbs and avoid white carbs. IE: wheat bread,brown rice and sweet potatoes instead of white bread white rice and regular potatoes.

Veggies dark green veggies go wild with. Fresh baby spinach is good for salads.

Don't avoid fats avoid trans fats and saturated fats. Get your fats from olive oil,nuts and peanut butter.

Try and get in a small meal every 2-4 hours and consisting of a protein,good carb and healthy fat.

I started using the small multigrain soft tortillas instead of bread for my sammiches, and i love it. Way less filling, no yeast, less starchy.

Eating Right brand frozen dinners 5 for $10!

That'll get me through the week. (And i've had them before too, they're pretty good)

I'll have to look into those, I almost always get wraps if they're offered when I order sammiches. I prefer them this way because with all that bread out of the way, they usually taste better. Unless the bread or rolls are hot and fresh, I normally don't like bread anyway.

Nice one Chris. I've been dieting too. I have always been into excercising for a while, but I've only just adjusted to a diet to match in the last month or so. It's nothing too strict, just less crap. I've already gotten a few "Have you lost weight?"'s from people.
