Alright, here's the deal. I'm young and athletic but I'm packin on the pounds lately.

I am usually at 6'0" 175 pounds but lately I'm in between 190 and 200 pounds.

I still have a good amount of muscle but it's getting harder and harder to see under the fat.

The main problem is I don't really do anything all day. I rely on poker to make cash and sit around a ton.

I smoke and I drink and although I will continue to do both, I am cutting back the drinking. I have been going out with friends far too much lately and will probably save the beer for the weekends.

My diet is pretty good. For the last two weeks I have been eating nothing but healthy food. Everything I have in my fridge is either "light" or "lowfat", etc...

I eat an occasional pizza or Burger King but not daily.

The beer I drink is always light beer. I like the taste and it's cheap. It works.

Anyway, that's whats going on. I needed some suggestions on what to do for exercise. Like I said, I have a good amount of muscle and can still feel my 6-pack but it's not very easy to see anymore. It's turned into 6-rolls.

I have some weights around here and don't mind pushups and situps if that is the best way to get rid of this. My beer belly is growing like crazy. I also have stairs in my house so was going to incorporate running the stairs into my exercise if I can.

Let's hear some suggestions. Like I said, I sit around and play poker most of the day so it's not like I can't spare an hour here and there if I need to...

The main thing is getting rid of my beer belly but if anyone has any suggestions on getting healthier in general, I want to hear them. And I don't plan on quitting drinking or smoking although I am working on cutting back. The drinking is easy to stop. The smoking is the tough one.

Thanks in advance guys.
