That's awesome, congrats. I practice basketball and have been stuck on a weight for a while. I hurt my shoulder and i was told to rest from sports for 6 months (About two have passed). I thought i would gain a lot of weight if i stoped exercising but i haven't, so i guess that exercise wasn't doing do anything for me. I'm not overweight but i have stubborn middle body fat.
Thx.

The rules i live by are 3 simple ones:
1. Get rid of sugar and/or keep sweet things to a minimum in general, esp after eating something normal and after midday. If you cant live without chocolate, eat it in the morning. (Yuck

)
2. If working out, its better to do it for 90minutes 2 times a week rather than 30minutes every day. Sad fact is the body starts burning fat only after about 20-30 minutes. If something you do only lasts for 45minutes then do a quick walk through your local area beforehand. I mostly walk to the supermarket for example rather than drive.
3. I cancelled out all noodles and bread from my daily life. I'm sticking to meat, vegetables (exception: no potatoes) and fruits (exception: no bananas) now. That and milk products like cheese (if not too fat).
