Don't forget to eat whole wheat bread and drinks LOTS of water. I've found breaking my food up into 6 small meals over every 2-3 hours really helps me...

i was a competitive athelete from age 8 to age 31 and i lost my "edge" and my fitness and gained 50 pounds... i posted a message "Getting rid of fat and becoming fit again"...
i think what this message board is about is that we all struggle with these issues and its good to know there is support...
be careful "running 2 miles a day" at the same pace because you will build slow twitch muscle fiber and lose your spring in your jump...
Let's say mon, weds, and friday you do a 30 minute lower body and upper body weight workout, then use a stairmaster, with the pace faster sometimes and slower with some 12 minutes of jump roping after you will find yourself losing weight and getting quicker too!
On tues, thurs and saturday play basketball for an hour and afterwards shoot around for 30 minutes, with the ball only being allowed to bounce once after a basket or a miss, give yourself 2 quick dribbles then shoot again - if you do this and stay focused you will be burning fat, losing weight, and improving your game and toughness !
Drink lots of water, eat a large breakfast for energy, a moderate lunch, and a small supper ( not eating after 7 pm) ... snack on fruits and DRINK A LOT OF WATER!
Good luck...
