Im starting a new weight loss plan, I think I have the right food plan down. What exercises will work best?
My usual eating habbits were no breakfast, have a late lunch, and then bring home something from the pizza place I work at late at night for dinner, usually a sub. Late night eating is horrible, I know this. My new plan is to eat small meals through out the day. For example starting with a breakfast of cottage cheese and fruits, then with a snack of carrot sticks etc. Lunch I will have a tuna fish wrap and a fruit, and so on. I think I am on the right track with the food. I have also invested in some Lean Shake, and hydroxycut. Also a multi vitamin. I think these things may help me reach my goal. But I am just not sure what exercise plan will help me see results. I give up easy on that end of the deal. Should I only start off with cardio, or should I also be weight lifting? Some one please help me with an exercise plan to get the best and fastest results!

Most definitely start with cardio. It improves stamina and gets those muscles ready for toning exercises. 30+ minutes of cardio 3-5 times a week is what you should shoot for. If you can’t do 30 minutes to start, work your way up to it. Once you get closer, start adding in some toning exercises. I’ve included a link to the mayo clinic’s finess site. It has plenty of good information on exercising and diet.
As for your diet, you are definitely on the right path. Just make sure to keep your calorie intake between 1300-1500 per day. Any less and you won’t have the energy to get the max benefit of the workout. Any more and the weight loss will be slower.

Weight training coupled with a certain extent of aerobic exercises will be the best choices.
But mind you though – exercises are not the ultimate answer to losing weight. But diet is.
So, focus on the right kind of foods to eat so that your body will be able to burn fat day and night because of the right choices of foods taken.
