I weigh 170, young adult. i will work out for one day.then never again i need help with working out,dieting?

Answer:
make your work outs interesting, try doing it with a friend or family member, put on fun music.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

I started taking nutrition classes, which really helped me on my eating. Just knowing how the foods can work with or against your body can really help. I am more conscious with how and what I eat now. Try taking a class or meeting with a nutritionist. Now that I understand how it works it is not as hard. It is a lifestyle change, not a diet. Diets can fail and they end, then you are back to your original habits. For exercising, just go.
I bought good cross-training shoes, joined a gym, and started taking classes. I am really busy, so I found classes on certain days that fit into my schedule and put them in my day planner... I treat it just like another meeting. On days that I can't make a class, I do weights. It is really hard if you are not used to it, just don't let your butt hit the couch, put on your tennis shoes and go to your meeting! When you are there, just remember that you are doing this for yourself and you deserve to look and feel great. Every time I leave the gym I am so proud of myself! Good Luck!
