OK, need to lose some weight . . . and some tips on working out.?

You need more protein and a few good carbs (for energy). Fruit is high in sugar and water so becareful eat it in moderation. Bananas are a good source of potium. Eat some low fat yogurt and maybe a protein shake (mixed with fresh fruit like bananas, yogurt, berries etc..). When you get a Spicy Chicken sandwich, leave the bun behind because the chicken is fried. No sodas as even diet will make you big around the middle. Drink water and I like powerade (it replaces the electrolytes you will burn off by exercising).
