I try to watch what I eat, but I snack too much. I think I'm about 10 kg overweight. I should do more exercise, allthough I do cycle about an hour every day.

25, 5'5" about 270lbs.

far as I know, Im just overweight, other than that, I feel fine.

couple of summers ago, I had started drinking more water, was working out almost every day, ate little less sweets, starches and lost like 30 lbs.  Just after that summer, I fell back into the norm.  Of course the norm now is much better than I was in high school.  I was drinking a 20 oz Mountain Dew and some debbie cake or whatever was in the snack machine.  For lunch, ate whatever they had and ate a late dinner.  Now its breakfast every other day, lunch (fast food or subway 2-3 times a week and rest I cook myself.), snack and dinner.  Dinner has gotten earlier as well.

only exercise I do now is what I do at work, need to get back on a work out routine again.  What I do at work, at least keeps me from gaining more weight for the most part.  When I was working out, I was gaining muscle left and right, I seem to do it easily.

For the most part, I drink combination of water, juices, sport drinks and sodas.  At work, i try to drink water and soda.  At home, mixture of juices, sodas, milk, tea and water.  I don't think I'll ever be able to completely stop drinking soda, its good.

Eating wise, just been eating whatever I wanted, but portions have been getting smaller since high school.  I don't eat as much sweets/desserts any more.  100% wheat bread most of the time, but what kills me is potatoes, pasta and rice.  need to start eating less of those.

yeah, ya'll probably want to slap me on the head like the V8 juice commercial, lol.

Well not sure I'll be slapping you, but I am concerned a bit.  Your current weight puts you over the top for diabetes, and defo cut about 20 years off your life already.  You should easily weigh about 100lbs less.  Anyway I'd like to encourage you to keep at it and change your eating habbits.  If you want to loose weight you have to eat more times a day, smaller portions, not less, skipping breakfast is a bad idea for that, and ultimately slows your metabolism down.  You should be backin off food as the night goes on, but fueling up with proper foods early in the day.  Drinking pop, and sports drinks is not good for you, they have major calories, and increase your bodily water.  Not to mention that most soda destroys the lining of your stomach.  Keep it up man....get back on the water, and keep up your excercise, set small goals for yourself and see where you are at in a year.  Its a must...

its not easy to eat healthy.  just a tip try to eat more organic food, esp dark greens, any organic vegetable, fruits.  I'm a fish maniac (white fish, tuna, salmon), piedmontese beef or ostrich for light red meat intake, amino acids.  theres plenty of good healthy foods that have immense health benefit nowadays and supplemenst are just that, supple-ment.
good luck on your health man i know from personal experience its a battle in itself.
everybody has their own targets, you know?  believe me when i say it eating healthy is costly.
exercise and weight loss is a whole another matter and to sum it up is a regimented exercise and eating in less amounts esp. no food before bedtime!
a severe discipline!!!!

I think if God made angels hide in human form they would eat slim jims.

i'm also into making green drinks

A couple leaves of a dark green.  Dandelion, Kale, Cabbage and Spinach are good choises.  I also will add a little broccoli, fennel, parsley or lettuce sometimes.

Then some apples, bananas, berries, citrus grapes or pears, or a combination of these or any other fruits i have around. For those that like added sweetness, you can add sugar(only if ya gotta) fruit herbal teas, raw honey, maple syrup, agave cactus syrup(great and also an anti-bacterial and a great estrogen herb for our ladies friends, especially during their time, margaritas during menses, a tradition i pray more adopt)

Adding a little stevia also can help with metabolism and loweing blood sugar.  Gives a fennel/licorishe flavor that goes well with berries and apples.  Each fruit has different attributes, and used with a little research and thought they can give people better outcomes than thought of.

these drinks give you amazing energy.  also for dieters, i would not recommend carrots, for they are very starchy and sugary and will hamper metabolism.  a certified nutritionalist friend shared this with me.
