    I think you'll probably find a better gym than Educo for a cheaper price who'll help you a lot more in general. I'm very wary of any extreme diet, especially one that essentially cuts out an entire category of food for a period of time. You would be much better served by a realistic diet/exercise program that makes small permanent changes for the better in your lifestyle.

    My advice would be go to one of the normal gyms, there are plenty to choose from in the Gym Review sticky. Try getting advice on exercise (and diet) off the staff there. You'll find some are good, some not so good, but they are likely to give you a diet and exercise program that you can stick to. A few sessions with a personal trainer might be helpful too, they'll identify realistic goals for you both exercise and food-wise, and make sure that you're getting the maximum value out of your workout time by ensuring you're doing everything right.

    Speaking as a relatively recent convert to Fitness in general, you're only going to make progress once you've a fitness plan you can incrementally build-up on and improve. I'd never played any serious sport, or set foot in a gym until I was 22. I only started going because the others in my work were. And it really wasn't until I got to know a couple of the staff in my current gym that I began to make real progress. Getting the fitness regime in order led to a much better diet and really improved my energy levels and general health. I personally believe a lot of it is just getting into the routine of going to the gym and pushing yourself hard to achieve the measurable and realistic goals you've set.

    In a nutshell, fitness and diet are a life skill that you've to work on a develop on a long-term basis, and a short yo-yo regime probably won't work.
