dont let any one mess with you . I wont go into details on that :P anyways i have been heavy with a big stomach myself once and i wanted to avoid working out... my suggestion is find urself motivated enough and u cant stop go true with it ... try to find a 5km jogging range witch you will jogg 5 times a week for about 3 months. after that you will be skinnier and if u want to build up muscels or whatever you go to the gym its gona be easier to start skiny to work out to build at least it was for me :>(at the begining u wont make the 5km i dident but just try as utch as you can in about 4 times jogging you willl have pimroved 4x and will be able to do it if u do your best :P
