Getting into shape

Summers coming, and I want to start getting into shape. Any tips on what to eat, any outdoor activities that are recommended (for solo play only, I don't have multiplayer capabilities here) or just tips in general? I've been losing weight pretty rapidly, and I want to continue doing so and get some more muscle.

Well I used to weigh about 290 and dropped down to 170, recently I have put on about 30 pounds or more of muscle.
I reccomend getting yourself nonfat / lowfat snacks, such as yogurt and lowfat chips for after-dinner snacks. When you eat in a certain time period before going to bed or just sitting down at home waiting to go to bed, watching tv, it all just turns to fat. Cut fast food out of your diet if you haven't already.
Start eating salads, they can be really good. Most people think "Eww salad!", try a Chicken Ceasar salad or something. Fruit is always a good idea as well.

How much do you weigh now?
Lifting your own body weight helps a lot too, free weights can be good as well. Stay away from machine weights whenever possible. Try doing crunches, keep your head pointing up when doing so, when you go up squeeze your stomach muscles together really hard to maximize the effect, you'll lose the gut in no time. Pushups can help with the upper body strength, for the past few months at work I have been doing 250 - 300 pushups every night at work, in reps of 25-50, all the way down and all the way up.

Just do what you can, and try increasing that after a week or week and a half after you start. Keep pushing yourself to make new limits.

This entry may sound a little scattered ... I just woke up. If you need clarification / more tips, you have my AIM.
