How often is regularily? Here's the plan, no joke: If you can spend as much time (or more) exercising as you do on the computer, I give you a month till thinness. Seriously. The problem with any routine requiring discipline is motivation, and I think the computer is the biggest carrot you can hold in front of yourself. Go for it and leave pudge behind.

im hoping for every day at best but every 2 days minimum. focusing on endurance/tone. I have no intention of being an athlete or gaining huge bulging mucles.

You'd be better off just working out a time to arrange to make spare time each week and go to the gym then than to try to go every day.
And early morning is best. And make sure you have a trainer. All gym training has a real world equivalent, but it's the trainer that makes the difference, and it might cost a bit more to have one run through the streets with you.

Btw, it seems as though diet along with exercise would be the best way to go. Do you have any untoward habits? Soda? Doughnuts?

but I'm a guy who doesn't lead a very active life style, gym training is meant to provide the needed activeness to remain healthy and look/feel good.
Like getting bulging muscles would be over kill if I wanted to beat people up ild learn kung fu.

I don't lead a very active lifestyle compared to what I need to enter Navy Reserve Diver Initial Training this May. But that's just an upper body thing. I'm a very fast runner.
Everyone has their strengths. Find something physical that works with yours and work from there to help yourself learn to love exercise. When I was younger my brother and I did Judo. I was always the first to get a new move, sometimes before Sensai had even finished explaining it. Sensai taught my older brother, who still had his baby fat, to use it to his advantage and he suddenly started advancing faster than me.
My point, you ask? Do Judo!

Did you read that women are not people or that Irami was talking about beating up women or both?

I was too distracted by the fact that you have what looks to be Windows XP on your computer. WITH the original wallpaper. It drove me to start wondering why you didn't have anything more attractive. What kind of geek are you? I'm currently rocking a Pure Pwnage wallpaper. Show some class.
As to how you look now, I hope you won't take it amiss if I say you look only slightly more healthy than I actually am.
Lyrhawn - If I'm right, and that IS XP on his desktop, it's probably a recent photo on a camera that didn't have the correct date set. I remember Blayne saying he's 18, but he doesn't really look 11 there...

lol, I didnt set the camera date and wow, that's good detective work. Knowing that A) WinXP did not exist in 1997 and B) If I'm 18 now and look 18 in the picture I could not possibly look 11.
So thus the date is wrong.
I have the original background because I haven't gotten around to changing it.
That is not underwear its paper clipped to it and thats my moms lamp the room is my moms office and my computer happens to be in it.
Well enjoying a higher quality of life doesn't automatically mean == impressing woman. I didn't make the immediate mental connection.
I was smiling......
I'm a soda drinker, mostly sprite, spruce beer, root beer, orange crush kinda guy but lacking money I'm stuck with water. And god, I excersized for an hour and my arms hurt, my first goal is to do 20 pushups and sit ups with ease so that I can join the reserves.

I don't see any need to lose weight. You seem totally fine. If you went on a 'routine' of exercise I think it would cost more (time, money for the gym, effort) than benefit (10 pounds?).
However, if you want to be more fit, just walk more, take up biking, or go to the pool and swim. If you can find a way to be physical that is pleasurable, it won't be the tedious routine that is lifting weights. Oh, and if you only eat about 3/4 of your total portions and drink diet sodas (basically find a way to eliminate a few hundred calories from your daily diet) you'll lose about a pound every 11 or so days.
Or, um, get cheated on by your jerk (now ex) significant other. I lost 25 pounds that way .

or thew flu flu is always a good way to lose wait.
i dont have to spend money for the gym its free, and I go during the 3 hour breaks I have between classes.
And I feel like I need to lose some weight, I like fine food a little too much to not make sure I excersize.

Point taken. My problem is the opposite: I cannot give up my pizza, beer, and french fries (boy, don't I sound like a prototypical American?)

Here's what I do: 40 regular push-ups 30 Diamond Push-ups 20 Spider Push-ups (arms spread out a bit more.) 10 Fist push-ups I do that like 9 or 10 times plus dumbells and stuff like that. Do that and some sit-ups and you'll be in good shape.

Work yourself up to it. You'll be able to do that in a few years. Im not even 15 and I'm doing it. Just set about 45 min each day a time that's convienient and just work out. Run, weight-lift, w.e. Take baby steps and you'll be in shape in no time.

Ya running is important, especially with all the fast food joints around. I ran the 800m last year and all the training for that helped me bulk up. You're right about cardio and stuff but I run alot anyways and I get cholestrol tests often so I know that my heart is in decent shape.(my dad has an irregular heart beat and high risk for a heart attack)

Supposedly a mix of cardio and resistance (weight lifting, push ups, resistance band) exercises is the best for getting into shape, and along with a healthy diet can help lose weight.
I've been trying it the past three months, and I've lost 25-30 pounds. I do a half hour on the elliptical and 30-45 min on resistance exercizes and skipping rope.
The funny part is that I've talked to my brother about getting in shape, which he is trying to do as well, and he said he didn't use the resistance band, because it was only for building up big muscles. BUT, one of the best ways to lose weight is to build up lean muscle mass.

Muscle is 16x heavier that fat right? Weight loss isn't as important as BMI and Body Fat %. You want a healthy BMI and a low Body Fat %.I mean when I started working out, I actually gained weight because I was so skinny.

Well, body fat percentage isn't really a good indicator, either.
Me, I'm a girl, so it's good for me to have some body fat...and I have suddenly started to develop curves so that, at almost 21, I no longer have the body of a 12-year-old boy.
Size is probably a better indicator than BMI or weight, honestly. By that, I mean waist size or whatever it is that you're focusing on.
