Getting my body back in shape, what's a good way to work out and lose weight?

[Anonymous]

The backstory to this is rather long so I don't want to go over everything, after moving away from my family for a job I got fired from said job, then spent the better part of the past year doing odd-jobs and living practically fairly poorly, I gained a few pounds, lost a few good friends, few really bad relationships with a lot of class girls, alchoholism, my life was on one big downturn.

So recently after talking to a few people I wanted to get my life back in shape, i wanted to get myself back on my feet, be the guy I want to be, a guy that can actually hold up a relationshp and one day, perhaps a good hardworking father. At the moment I can't go to a gym as there's not really one in my city, nor do I really have enough to go out there and buy a bunch of exersising machines, but I've been doing press ups and pull ups.

My weight goes up and down between 160 and 180. Im six feet tall. One month i'll be 160 and then the next month, twenty pounds heavier. I don't know why my body does this but when I want to go back down, I usually drink 4-5 water bottles full of lemon water a day. I squeeze enough lemons in their to make it taste as sour as candy. The water makes me full enough to not want to eat so much. And the lemons have antioxidants in them that cleans your system out. Dont be surprised if you find yourself going to the bathroom a lot. For pee and number two. I lost 7 pounds in ten days doing this once. I usually take a 15 minute jog every other day... Enough to get my heart going but not enough to make a sweaty mess of myself. As for dieting, I eat a lot of fruits in order to quench my need for sweets. Im a chocolate addict. But I don't restrict my diet. If I want a pizza, ima have a damn slice or three. Dieting is something that you have to experiment with. Everyones body is different and acts different to certain foods. Our rate of digestion is not the same so I can't give you a set list of foods not to eat

Running helps a lot and a balanced diet. A regulated sleep schedule also helps with an individuals' metabolism.

Nah dude don't look like you want to get back to the way you were because that will lead you down the same track I suggest you think of it as a new beginning. All you need is a pull up bar, good food a jump rope. Lots of mountain climbers/planks/healthy eating/push-ups and for the love of god stop being a problem drinker mang.

Give hiit a shot, start slow and work your way up (3 times a week) ^^ also, it's really important that you have a proper diet if you want to lose weight. Eat less then you require ^^ I hope you get the body you want someday

Cardio burns fat, so running's a great way to lose weight. Also, try and eat right, but if you start exercising more, you'll probably find that you don't crave junk food as much. Don't eat if you're not hungry.
