Ok ..... a good few extra Kilos and isn't very sporty or active to do this...... My friend ..... Cough..... Would like to know....

Personally speaking I find exercise to be the best method — but that would first depend on ones diet!

Cut out /reduce to a minimum bread, pasta, cakes, biscuits.
Cut out takeaways.
Get your carbs from vegetables and some fruit.
Cut out smoothies , eat some wholefruit instead.
Reduce spreads, a little whole butter is better than margarine.
Get your protein from chicken breast, fish, eggs, pulses, beans.
Cut out fry ups.
Steam or grill food.
Cut out sugary soft drinks.
Cut out /reduce sugar in tea/coffee.
Reduce /eliminate alcohol - useless dead calories.
Reduce portion sizes at meals.
Eat dinner from smaller plates-less on the plate.
Cut out desserts.
At the end of a meal if still hungry, wait twenty minutes and appetite may have decreased.
Eat 3small well balanced meals a day and avoid snacking between meals.
Don't keep chocolate, sweets, crisps in the house.
Exercise.
If not accustomed to it, start slowly, perhaps get a medical check up especially if over 40.
Take up something you might enjoy as exercise, more likely to keep it up.
If not in the first flush of youth, mind the joints, don't run on concrete-swim, cycle, use cross/elliptical trainer.
On short journeys, walk instead of car.
Use the stairs instead of lifts.
Join a gym.
Do some weight training but also some stretching/yoga for flexibility and cardio for stamina/heart health.
Exercise classes are not just for women, exercise to music can be motivating /addictive.

If motivation is a problem try joining a walking group, running club, join a gym with a friend. A social side to exercise may keep one motivated.
And if joining a gym in January don't stop by February but keeo going through the year.

that was one of the most interesting aspects of the gym but in time you get used to it.

Never been to a gym but I've always hoped it would be something like an Eric Prydz video.






Unless they also have power tools, then I'd be hoping for a little Benny Benassi.

Not an Irish gym unfortunately
The cailini would be too shy
They'd be coordinating cycling shorts with the above outfit.
And tbh the lycra was tighter 10 or 15 years ago, I think.

Hopefully eating pussy doesn't make you put on weight or I'm fucked

Eating lots of different peoples' pussies, who have had lots of different sexual partners, ups your chances of getting oral or throat cancer a bit,
but what the hell, you'll probably die of prostate cancer before that.
