STANDING CRUNCHES........
Stand on one leg, raise your knee to your opposite elbow. Flares your core. Flex the gut.

Your schedule is IDEAL......... I'd get up, knock out a minute or two of jumping jacks....... eat breakfast, check your emails or whatever. Then head to the park and knock 30-40 minutes of the above listed exercises. Throw some pushups and pullups in there and you are fucking set.
Grab some more jumping jacks or bicycle or something before go to work (or at work)....... and then maybe another spike after work.
I'd do that practically every day....... And then really throttle it once or twice a week...... with a trainer to make sure you are throttling it.

The jumping jacks, squat thrusts, sprints, and running should gas you. The lunges, pushups, and pullups will build strength.
That is a very good routine which will definately pay off.
You could throw in some lower heart rate cardio like bicycling or something but I hate that shit cuz it's too boring. Might as well get right to it and do it right. Is also a quicker workout and also builds strength.

Try it for a couple days instead of going to the gym...........
1) Get up..... One minute of Jumping jacks
2) Eat breakfast / Run Errands
3) Go to the park and do the routine for 30-40 minutes
Come back, get the fiancee to pack you a lunch so don't end up at McDonalds. Fuck, even a tuna fish sandwich or something.
4) Some kind of metabolism spike during or after work.
A week or two of that and you'll probably get into it.

Fried the workout ideas are good but I do not see any suggestions on the food.
Gotta workout no doubt. But just cut out the fast food BS and mix in some veggies and lean meats (fish, chicken breast, turkey etc...) and this will do wonders immediately. And try to not eat too late. Get on a foor schedule. Small meals including breakfast. Eat a healthy lunch at a normal time and then pack a healthy dinner to take to work. Eat bout 6 or 7 or so and that will help immensely. Snacks should be apples, rice cakes (they have chip sized ones now a days that are flavored as well and actually taste pretty good) etc...
Cut out the soda nonsense that stuff is for the birds.

didnt start back at the gym today but tried to better the eating..
tried is the key word...
ate 1st at 5pm with the kids at work (i work in a group home) we had ribs... I also had a bottle of pepsi... only 1.
ate again once home at 1145pm... had 2 bowls of salad with french dressing, croutons... also had 2 bottles of water... ready for bed.. just checkin in with you.
jumping jacks first thing will be do able... runnin around a park.. not so sure... i belong to a gym so hitting the bike, treadmill and eliptical are good to go... i do love boiled eggs so ill try having them every day. I gotta look into a batman lunch pail though... i usually just eat whatever is on the menu at work... i use freetrainers.com when im working out so im gonna make a program there to follow... eating has and always will be my biggest obstacle.

Smalltimer, i guess you'll hear lots of advice, different advice from different people. Its ALL about the food. Fuck the gym altogether. I gather losing fat is far more important then muscle strength building, for now at least. If you wanna get serious, its far more simple and less stressful then most anyone thinks
Losing fat isnt a matter of burning it (the calories) off via exercise. You store excess fat because of hormone disruption(insulin). Change your diet and you can "fix" your hormones and utilize natural body process to burn your fat stores for energy
You need to drink water. Not in excess, but instead of all the other drinks. They are so high in sugars and the primary reason so many are fat
You need to eat fat. I never try to be cheap and get lean meat. You want heavy marbling in your meats, lots of bacon, and some non animal fats, cooking oils, nuts, avocados
You need to eat greens. Leearn to like spinach. Use oil n vineagr or zero carb dressings (plenty of delicious dressings)
Fuck all that cardio, and leave the gym out for now. Use your gym time to prepare your food. Eating real food is much more enjoyable then all the other bullshit
I did ketosis for a solid month, lost the last 20-25 of the 80lbs i lost, and it really reshapes your body.
I dont bother with any of the designated meal times, eat when hungry. You wont be often if eating lots of fat, because it makes you feel full
Walk a couple miles (every day).
I can share some very simple recipes for foodstuff, if you want. I thought at first the food prep would eventually be a deal breaker, but i have fun with it and for someone that really enjoys food, i enjoy what i eat now more then all the crap i ate before
Your biggest problem will be getting a new wardrobe in the spring, because you will definitely be sub 200

Smalltimer,
Most people know how to eat (kind of) but the hard part is sourcing clean food on a daily basis. It's almost impossible to source clean food by eating out every day. Too many temptations and distractions out there. Almost have to have be able to make your own.
But tell you right now, if in "reduction" mode. There is absolutely no room for Pepsi or ANY sugar (other than what's in fruit and vegetables). NO sugar, ZERO, NADA. It's not the calories in the sugar, it's the way it's digested. There are like 30 grams of sugar in a Pepsi...... which is a month's worth. Just by cutting those out, you will see benefits.
ICE TEA............. or water with lemon or something.

Smalltimer................ at some point you are going to have to go to the grocery store and skip eating out. Eating out is virtually impossible.
Remember that the food decisions normally go down in the grocery store. If it goes in the cart, you are gonna eat it, so be careful about putting it in the cart.
NO ADDED SUGAR. Read the labels..... sugar and carbs are the main thing but sugar is REAL easy to cut out without pain.
If not a chef...... stuff which is easy.........
Cottage Cheese
Meat
Frozen Vegetables
Careful with the cereals cuz they vary a lot...... get the ones with low sugar.
