Time to get in Shape, Weight lifting, cardio, dieting? Options

[soulshadow]

So I am obese, was 210 pounds 3 weeks ago now 190.6 lbs and still going at it 5'7. My Body mass Index says I am overweight.
Lately I am going back to school so I can use the Gym over there to do cardio and weight lifting. I'm working on my abs now and trying to get rid of that gut.

Here is what I have been doing everyday, run 1 mile on the treadmill at super fast speeds and then doing a jogging pace alternating.
Situps, push ups and lifting 25lb dumbells. I have a huge plastic ab Ball and its one of the best investments you can get for under $10.


FOOD:
Drinking mostly water and Sugar free / Low-carb drinks.

For breakfast I eat 2 eggs cooked on a pan with non-stick spray with 1 cup of rice
for Lunch 1 protein shake with a carrot.
for dinner small piece of meat 1/4 the size of hand with vegetables on the side.
Snack usually a side salad with lite dressing.

My goals, 160 lbs with some good muscle tone.

Anybody else also trying to get in shape? I'm taking pictures of myself every week so I can compare. Once I get that Goal planning to post em

LOL I need to get into shape. Mostly I think I just need to do cardio. My body just filled out a bit on it's own when I all of a sudden gained weight. I am 5'9" and 192lbs (195 with pants and shirt only and I just assumed I would be 192 without). I am a waist size 33, which I guess isn't bad, and size L in shirt (which I am not complaining). Not sure I want to go back to a medium, but I think I am slightly overweight or weigh more than I should. So once I get caught up on some bills, I am going to get a gym membership. Personally, I think I can eat whatever I want, and so long as I just workout and keep active, I will be just fine (as far as appearances go, not actual health. LOL).
