newbee with a belly

Hi all.



I'm trying to turn my life around. I'm a 31 year old male weighing 16 1/2 stone. I'm 5ft 10.



I've just started a new job that will require me to work shifts, twelve hours on days and nights. Obviously I will be getting quite alot of time off during the week and when the kids are at nursery and the wife is at work I can use my time to try and lose some weight.



I'm getting concerned that I'm getting a round and firm belly and to many chins and I'm worried that I won't be able to lose them.



I'm planning on cycling to work when on nights, which is 13 miles each way but is relatively flat and cycling is something that I enjoy, unlike running which I can't bring myself to do. I use to play alot of rugby. I could play rugby all day with no issues, but ask me to go for a run and I can run 2 or 3 miles and them give up.



I'm trying to eat healthy to. Fruit in a morning as I drive to work usually with a small sandwich for lunch and a meal on a night, usually some type of meat with veg or rice/pasta. I drink water during the day and fruit juice on a night.



Has anyone got any tips to help me lose weight please. I would love to be 14st but I seem to be struggling to first of all find motivation and also see any results.



Hope someone can help
