Looking for some weight loss tips...?

I'm a 24 year old male, I have not always been overweight. At one point I was actually skinny but that all changed when I met my ex-wife. Her and I were together for a good amount of time and I put on a good amount of weight, never really noticed it. When the marriage came to an end I really started to notice how overweight I was. I don't have a lot of money so I can't go out and buy this and that and buy all the best foods, I have to deal with what I have...which isn't that much. I have a two year old son and he is my motivation, I want to get in shape so I can do all I want to do with him and keep up with him, especially when he gets older. I have lost about 20 lbs but I remain about 235 and I'm 5'11" I want to get down to about 190 lbs. I've been trying to eat better portions of food, I've been doing some body weight exercises, I absolutely HATE running unless it's in a sport of some sort.

Basically I'm trying to get any type of tip I can on what to eat, exercises that would help me shed this weight, anything that will help me get in shape. I know that results won't happen over night...I just want them to happen because right now I feel like I'm getting none.

Please help...

    1. Add just one fruit or veggie serving daily. Get comfortable with that, then add an extra serving until you reach 8 to 10 a day. 2. Eat at least two servings of a fruit or veggie at every meal. 3. Resolve never to supersize your food portions—unless you want to supersize your clothes. 4. Make eating purposeful, not mindless. Whenever you put food in your mouth, peel it, unwrap it, plate it, and sit. Engage all of the senses in the pleasure of nourishing your body. 5. Start eating a big breakfast. It helps you eat fewer total calories throughout the day. 6. Make sure your plate is half veggies and/or fruit at both lunch and dinner. Are there Any Easy Tricks to Help Me Cut Calories? 7. Eating out? Halve it, and bag the rest. A typical restaurant entree has 1,000 to 2,000 calories, not even counting the bread, appetizer, beverage, and dessert. 8. When dining out, make it automatic: Order one dessert to share. 9. Use a salad plate instead of a dinner plate. 10. See what you eat. Plate your food instead of eating out of the jar or bag.

    The untouched knowledge of the ancient scrolls of Tibet. Legend has it, in year 3000 BC Suein Ching, a mighty Chinese nutritionist predicted obesity and studied the art of weight loss and the skill that is exercise. The scrolls are believed to be hidden near the Nanga Parbat, the ninth tallest mountain in the Himalayas, but...take heed. Many have perished trying to retrieve the scrolls never to return, the journey is perilous and will consider much planning, I wish you all the best young apprentice.
