Iv seen many video and read many articles on loosing weight, I know there is obviously a need for exercise which I have planned, I now go for 5 mile walks ( there and back ) 4 times a week & iv started up playing football, iv also recently purchased a bike which once iv managed to pump up the tyres I plan on riding every day to work.

However, every diet I see online is always an American diet for food that you simply can't buy in the UK, or at least iv looked and can't find them.

Does anyone from the UK have a good diet? I know someone who used to weigh about 16 stone & he did an all savory rice and water diet, he ate nothing but that for 4 weeks & he's now down to 12 stone. Iv tried this diet and was on it for about 2-3 weeks, eating nothing but rice, but I didn't loose any weight, but at the time i wasn't exercising, could that be the reason why I didn't loose anything?

Here's my current stats:

Age: 22
Weight: 17-18 stone ( about 252lbs )
Stamina: Practically none

I'm not ashamed of my weight, I just think it's gotten a little out of hand.

Why am I so fat?

Let me first start by saying I haven't always been fat, from the age of about 5-19 I weighed about 11-12 stone, but since I left college iv not been active, back in college I was training to be a mechanic ( purely just to pass the time, didn't want to be a mechanic, and oddly enough I passed all 3 levels yet I still know nothing about cars o.0 ). So at college I was very active, moving around all day & lifting heavy things.

However about a month after leaving college I had nothing to do, I went straight into self employment working for myself & from the age of 20-22 I have basically been sat at my computer all day, I work from 9AM to about 10PM ( some of that is done on the laptop while I'm out, I'm not a totally sad, lol ) & because iv been on my computer all the time I now weigh 18ish stone.

But now iv managed to get sales directly to my mobile with a new system iv recently bought, basically can get everything packed & shipped from my phone, very useful tool ).

I recently sold 1 of my companies though so I have a lot of free time on my hands, before I invest in another company I want to loose some weight, I'm not talking about going back down to 11-12 stone, maybe just about 14-15.

Sorry for going off a bit, I tend to do that, moral of the story is, does anyone know a good UK diet that Tesco sell, lol.
