manual labor = paid to exercise, not to think <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I used to think I had strong fingers from gaming until I got back into fencing.
Awesome sport. Aside from pistol and rifle competitions, the tip of a fencer's foil is the fastest object in sports. Some olympic-class athletes can even make small sonic booms like the crack of a whip because they move the damn things so fast. It's like chess with a 1/6 second/move time clock and muscles.

So I'm probably not working out as much as I should be yet, but I definitely have gained muscle, and gained weight (because of the muscle), and lost fat.
edit: Oh, and for those with a crazy fast metabolism that are in their teens, I highly suggest working out, and then eating something with protien and carbohydrates after, the muscle gain should be amazing. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> (I seem to gain it pretty effortlessly)

<img src='http://monarch.gsu.edu/images/food%20pyramid.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> 6-11 servings of grain? You shouldn't be eating ANY grain. Any possible benefits from grain can be found in fruits and vegetables. The body doesn't digest grains very well.
You shouldn't eat grains or dairy. Ever. Pretty much all of the nutrition is cooked out and then added in with supplements that put a strange taste in the food. (Guh, there's an obvious difference between pure orange juice and orange juice with vitamin C added.) Why bother when all the nutrition you need cna be found in fruits, vegetables and meat?
Nor should you be eating refined sugar.
And people wonder why they're getting fat, constipated and dehydrated.
If anyone feels like listening to me rant even more about proper eating, let me know. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
My metabolism is poop but I play lots of DDR (waii!) and watch what I eat/drink so it doesn't matter :D
I also enjoy walking whenever I get the opportunity (I often feel sorry for all the lazy bones who jam into the lift while I spring up the steps usually getting there before them ^^ ).
It's too hard to stick to weird faddy diets or eating guides really. It's a lot easier to just chew things properly (most people don't, they nip their food with their teeth twice then just swallow you should really be mauling it before you let it slip down your throat :p) than count calories. Also drinking lots of cold water helps.
16 stone, thats 224 pounds? i think im 6`4 and pretty fit, aint overwieght at all.
Monday : Run 2 1/2 miles in 20 mins ( running aint my best thing) Tuesday : Gym 10 min run, 15 min bike and then various weights wed : Run 2 miles or gym weights thurs : some type of sport for an hour ( footy, basketball etc) friday : Kinda a rest day or hiking or a Run depending if i have work or wat i do at college
Sat: rest day, working 8 hours and then another 4 hours at my other job Sunday : Gym!
if u plan to take on a fitness obession then diet as well!
Another tip dont over do it like i did on sunday and my arms are still killing me like mad today, i have troble changing gear in my car lol

and while im standing there in the chippy, i see all these fatasses who are buying like the same food as me. but you can guarandame T they arent gonna be running the next morning to work it off...

I recommend Run DMC - It's like That for maximum weight loss!
