I want to loose some weight! Will this work? Any advice on maintaining this?

    Well to start off with I am an 18 year old male. I am not over weight but I am close to being over weight. To start with I love take aways and deli food and fizzy drinks. I don't really eat chocolate/sweets at all.
    When I eat take aways I enjoy them. They would mainly be chicken tenders and wraps and fish. The odd time I would have a burger. I don't enjoy poor quality food however. I haven't ate a Chinese for the last month.
    I really enjoy meat and fish. I also enjoy potatoes. The only time I would ever really eat vegetables would be on a pizza or if I made a steak sandwich. This would consist of mushrooms/peppers/pineapples/lettuce/tomatoes. I hate veg and my mam hasn't made me eat them since I was 3. I would like to like them but they just seem so horrible to me. If I was pushed I could eat raw carrot. Would this be better or wrose for me than it being cooked?
    I am planning on given up take aways asap and I am going to start drink more water instead of the fizzy drinks. I will also try and walk about 20 minutes a day or jUmp around in the house!
    Will this work?
    Any advice you can give me?
    Thanks

    Post up your height/weight

    Then post an honest daily diet. Try to remember snacks you'd tend to have, as well as drinks including fizzy drinks/teas/coffee etc

    For some reason this post sounds like trolling.
    Do walking weighted lunges and ya might have a chance.
    You seem to already realise your diet is crap. You eat all those veg in the steak sandwich, why can't you eat them in other meals too?
    "Your mam hasn't made you eat them" isn't much of an excuse to be fair, you're 18...

    Firstly, are you sure that it's all vegetables, cooked in all possible ways that you hate? . Like I can't stand cooked carrots either and I also hate sweetcorn and not keen on peas, but all the same I not only manage to get plenty of veg in, but to be a vegetarian. That's because I do like
    -asparagus
    -aubergine (in curries)
    -broad beans
    -broccoli
    -butternut squash roasted with chilli powder
    -cabbage (if it's cooked right :p)
    -carrots if they're raw (loads of vitamins in them that way)
    -cauliflower
    -courgette
    -cucumber
    -green beans
    -kale
    -mushrooms
    -onions
    -peppers
    -spinach (in stuff or raw, not in a soggy pile on the side of my plate :()
    -sweet potato
    -spring greens
    -all the stir fry veg
    -all the salad veg
    Probably loads more I've missed

    Plenty of choice there and I can't imagine hating all of them unless you're eating them all boiled to mush, in which case I would agree with you :p Most of them are much nicer roasted or steamed imo.

    It sounds like you eat veg in stuff, just not on its own, so if you still think you don't like any of it maybe you could put some in soups or curries or mix some into a pasta sauce?
