Fat Man Seeking Nerdy Weight Loss Solutions

[The Rockerfly]

Am I the only one who thinks this should be moved to the advice forum?

Probably not what you're looking for but it is a nerds approach - complete with spreadsheets.

Some of my friends have also had reasonable success with FitBug - http://www.fitbug.com/, although that is a paid service.

So before entering college I was already a pretty heavy guy, but combined with my freshman 15 I'm coming dangerously close to not being able to see parts of my anatomy anymore. I try to work out, but I have a hard time staying committed to anything. The clOSES I ever came to a regular workout was DDR Which led me to believe that I just have to find something that fits my interest. So what does the Escapist advise for potential weight loss solutions. Oh, and I'm not about to pay the money for a Wii or Kinect.

okay... you like gaming... attempt to make a game out of it. You have plenty of tips from other posters, now incorporate those with some game theory and viola. fun incentive to do the things listed

10 fruits/veggies a day = 1 point each
5 min of cardio = 1 point

you need X points to complete a level and you must complete one level a day...

Someone else can take this and run with it
