Fatty needs Help!

[BIG H]

Ok, hopefully the title got your attention

My problem: I currently stand at 6"2 and 14 stone (196 pounds) at 25 years old. However the weight seems to be all around my gut/love handles/man boobs etc.

Im not really a fatty or anything but I think too much booze and food are the problem. The booze will be getting cut drastically, Im thinking of going to Vodaka and Diet Coke when I drink ( only 1 calorie per glass apparently).

What Im aiming for ideally is 12.5 stone (175 pounds). Ive always been a kinda lanky guy so I dont really have big arms or anything so things like push ups are a knightmare for me

Just hoping that someone has some advice/ exercise plan I could follow and see how it works out. I dont want to be massive or anything, just tone up and drop the gut etc.

I have access to a gym after work and theres a football pitch down the road I could use for running and stuff.

Any ideas welcome guys, cheers!

Just one tip. Vodka is about 50 cals per shot, Diet coke is zero

Thanks for the tips guys.

I know my diet needs to change but its hard work when your bursting your arse at work all day, go for lunch and the last thing you want is a salad or something.

Im gonna substitute all snacks for fruit and stay off take aways for starters. Also gonna try to find some healthier dinners, baked potatoes with tuna and salad, stuff like that.

Il also try some more exerise, like I said though its hard work when your shattered after work.

Il start with running and skipping I think. Im actually not too bad a running(compared to other stuff). Maybe do 5 minutes running followed by a minute of skipping x 5, then try build up to 6/7/8 etc. Without any rest in between. How does that sound?

Anyway cheers for all the advice so far

All depends on how much you want it dude. It sounds fine. Yea your diet and drinking habits are shit for you, and as the years pass on that course, not only will your girth grow, but your health will certainly suffer for it also...not to mention lowering your shot at making it to a ripe old average life expectancy.

You seem to be honest so it all boils down to your will power and how much you want it. You don't have to starve yourself, if fact, you can likely eat more, just wiser and healthier food. It'll suck a bit and you'll crave that shit food at the start, but soon if you stick to it...you won't miss it at all and wonder why you even ate the crap in the first place. Only way to do it though is to have it not in your house, and healthy snacks there in it's place. As for the cigarettes...

These message boards see a lot of people come thru them with these goals, and most of them are I believe sincere, but few stick around and follow the advice and guidance, much the same way new home gyms collect dust and fitness memberships go unfulfilled. Most lack will power and give up. So basically, it is up to you. How much you want it?

You want to be healthier, feel better about yourself, and maybe live a little longer? Ball is in your court.
