Hey people , was not sure where to start out here but here goes, I am new to the board and today is day 8 of my new lifestyle of eating right and exercise; I am an asthmatic so running is hard for me but I am trying to take short runs and walk about 2 miles a day. I am trying to keep my calories under 1,800 per day but ideal for me would be 1,400 - I will join a gym tomorrow and my goal is to get rid of my fat and get in toned shape ; any advice for this newbie would be so very helpful. I am a 33 male from Boston but now live in Latin America where it is not exactly the health capital of the world. So, I am just saying hello and glad to be here - I am 5'10 weigh 195 and have 36 inch waist ; my goal is to be at 165 by Christmas - is this possible and what is best way if anyone has tips or pointers.

Thanks

Rob

You are eating way too little man. You need to be eating about 600 more calories a day than you are now.

For training search the waterbury method by chad waterbury.

For diet go to the diet section and read "read before posting...save time."

I learned not to make weight goals but looks goals and muscular size goals.
