thankxs,
understood,
As a Diabetic (not training but general weight loss etc) I understand what I need to eat/drink.
Again Insulin is a hormone and does tend to make you super hungry usually at the wrong times, regardless of how and what I eat
However lowering weight has the advantage of needing less insulin and less cravings.
chances are also I'm not drinking enough water
I understand major lifstlye, again I want to focus on making myself look and feeling good after my breakup, I know exercise realises endorphins.
I'm concerned about loosing weight, which is how I monitor progress and "building" as taking protein and making muscle which is heavier, does that make sense ???
Dont know wether to loose the weight (chest/tummy) and then go for body building or just do it as the increased activity should also burn calories.
problem is trainers/gyms all cost, here in the UK petrol is through the roof, so commuting is really putting a strain on my finances. Hence why I'm initally asking here.

If you don't know what you are doing hire a trainer- at least for a short period of time to get you started. Ask around, find a good one. They can direct you on diet- or better yet talk to a nutritionist. If you don't want to do that, at least go to the library and read- there are dozens of good books with plans, ideas and explanations. Spend the first week lifting books instead of weight, will pay off in the end. If you go into this randomly, you will not get where you want to go, at least not with efficient use of your time.
Been there, done that. Got hurt. Doing it again.
I should write a book on how weaklings like myself should train- call it pumping aluminum.
