There are 4 levels of fitness activities:

* Inactive is no activity beyond baseline activities of daily living.
* Low activity is activity beyond baseline but fewer than 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) of moderate-intensity physical activity a week or the equivalent amount (75 minutes, or 1 hour and 15 minutes) of vigorous-intensity activity.
* Medium activity is 150 minutes to 300 (5 hours) minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week (or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity a week). In scientific terms, this range is approximately equivalent to 500 to 1,000 metabolic equivalent (MET) minutes a week.
* High activity is more than the equivalent of 300 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week.

In order to lose weight in short time and sustain it in long term, you need to do high activities in the beginning and medium later on to keep the weight off.

Stay off the twinkies ! Don't think that exercise will help your weight problem. Most people only build up a greater appetite from exercise. Yours is a dietary problem not a body building problem.

It is what you take in that has gotten you to 215#. You need to eat three meals each day, Do not snack in between meals, unless the snack is a carrot or celery stick but without the peanut butter. Avoid bread, pasta, sugary sweets or beverage, butter, pastries, and desserts. Weigh yourself daily, and do moderate exercises.

If you stick with this regimen, you could lose 5# each week. By Navy standards, you should weigh in around 170#, so on that basis you should be there in nine weeks ! Good luck !

run alot. pushups, situps, crunches, swim if you can

Do not starve your self(it never works, although that's the first thought that crosses anyone's mind when thinking to lose weight)Decide on how much weight you want to lose. Keep your goals realistic.Have a mindset that you want to eat healthy to stay healthy for the rest of your life.Watch your fat intake.Fat is not the culprit to being overweight. You need this to keep your weight at the proper level.

Here's some other quick tips for you:

* Take pita bread roll ups or wraps with salad fillings.

* Good cooking and healthy eating begins with learning about nutrition and how to prepare healthy recipes.

* Buy non-toasted muesli instead of the toasted ones. A plate of toasted muesli contains more fat than a plate of bacon and eggs.

* Make pasta a fast food choice - preparing a pasta meal or salad will only take 10-12 minutes.

* Substitute baking soda, baking powder, MSG and soya sauce in cooking.


If you have started losing weight, just remember it's a question of will. Keep doing what your're doing, stay away from junk food and sodas, and you will feel more healthier and alive than never before.
