Hi Folks,

Just signed up today.
Hope you dont mind me posting this without trawling through all the previous posts.

Bit about me, i'm 25 and around 20stone. i used to be a constant 18 or so stone.
Since i was 15 i have been involved in a heavy industry withing construction, Lifting weights between 25kg and 175kg repetative every day. i have always had good strength about me but never been to concerened about my health or my looks.
I joined a gym in 2003 as i wanted to have defenition within muscle.
Basically my gym advisor gave me a plan consisting of very little cardio and a busy schedule of weights which i stuck to for around 2years before i realised i wasnt doing myself any good. i gained just over 2 stone and still had a gut, although my arms shoulders and legs where pretty strong and coming along with defenition.

Cut a long story short i have not been trainning for 2 years, i now have a job which allows me to enter a programme that i can stick to.

Can anyone advise on what i should be looking at doing from now on in to get me back into trainning, my motivation is there but my lack of knowledge is next to nothing.
I am currently just over 20stone in weight and find running can be intensive and sore on my shins.

Should i be looking at some form of low impact cardio? bike? rowing?...

Also what should i be looking at eating, 3 meals a day? or intake of food every 3-4 hours? what should my intake consist off?

i am willing to listen to anyone as this time i want to be able to enjoy trainning knowing the the advice is coming the ppl in the know (you guys).

Hope i am coming over clear here, quite excited about the prospect of learning from you guys andmonitoring my progress!

I appreciate all who read this post and look forward to your comments.
