I really wanna do this but i currently just lack the motovation... I hate going to the gym because I DON"T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING... I need to go there with a set schedule and know what I have to do and get done...

I am a member of American Family Fitness... If you know the place its HUGE... 3 pools, Racket Ball Courts, Full size basket ball court, all the equipment in the world, and many classes (i am not into taking classes)...

Hope someone can help me out...

There are some people in the pumping iron thread that could possibly help you out with a routine:

After my Mom passed, I made a decision to make some lifestyle changes. Cut way back on processed foods, increase fruits/veggies, less protein. Over the course of two years, I dropped ~30lbs and was maintaining right around the 265-270 mark. Then two weeks ago i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My A1C test came back at 249. Ouch! Since then I've cut back on the carbs, increased my veggie intake even more and bumped up my protein a bit. Big thing was finally getting off my butt and start walking. I do 2-2.5 miles 5 days a week. Last week I was down to 260.6 (God i wanted into the 250's), and I know I've lost a bit more since then. With the meds and the diet change, my blood sugar's around 120 now. I"m hoping to get down to 225lbs and hopefully off the meds.

Keep up the good work.
Congrats to you on the hard work! Keep it up b/c as you can see, it's definitely worth it.
