Hey /fit/

I'm trying to get into better shape this summer. I'm 5'10 and 165 lbs (apparently in the healthy range), but my chest, stomach, and thigh areas are all flabby as shit (they jiggle when I walk). I want to slim down (or even become lean) and have been trying to do so with this diet:

Breakfast: 2 slices plain mixed grain toast, 1 cup milk
Snack: Fruit
Lunch: 1 Sandwich (mixed grain bread, lettuce, turkey)
Snack: Fruit
Dinner: 1 bowl white rice + assorted veggies + chicken
Snack: Fruit

I've been eating a lot more fruit and vegetables than before and quit drinking pop/eating sweets/etc./etc. I also drink a LOT of water and not much anything else.

I've also been exercising every second day with this workout:
- Cardio: Running stairs for 20 minutes

Your diet sucks, but it's written in a matter I can't describe how it sucks. I'm thinking you're eating too little, though.

too much carbs late in the day.

cut the rice out of dinner and have more vegies. or at least change it to brown rice

instead of the last fruit have some form of protien.

It sounds as if you're not eating enough at all. Plus, on top of losing weight, you'll want to tone the muscle to get rid of the flab.

Suggestion:

For meal times, you are supposed to eat less and less as the day goes on. Big meals for breakfast, medium meals for lunch, and somewhat small-medium meals for dinner. The reason for this is because you burn all your fat/carbs in the day, whereas when you eat at night it sticks with you.

If you find yourself getting the munchies, pick up a snack like a banana or an apple. (Not past dinner) You may find it difficult at first but use willpower to get your body in a new, and better routine.

Plus. my ideal workout is run for a half hour to get my heart rate up, then do a half hour of chest workouts(Bench press, crossovers, Pec Deck) or of different ab exercises. And then I follow up with another half hour on the bike. Start slow, but gradually push yourself to make a new limit.

Good luck.

I barely know what I'm doing... which is why I'm posting here. Can you suggest a routine I can do at home with only dumbbells?

It's low intensity and it doesn't cover a lot of muscle groups. Upper back, posterior chain, and forearms get next to nothing. Triceps and shoulders don't get a sufficient workload with push-ups alone, unless you vary them though 3 sets of 10 is very few.

Health and fitness 101: It doesn't matter what part of the body you exercise, your body burns your fat equally from all parts at once. So it doesn't really matter what part you emphasize on unless you want to muscle tone.

Do yourself a favor and get a barbell and some plates. You can probably get it for twenty bucks at a garage sale. Work out 3x a week and alternate between powerlifts and o-lifts and you will be in shape in no time flat.
