Yeah, it's pretty cool to look and feel cool. I don't know, I never partied and drink to begin with, so it's not too hard for me to give them up.
One thing I will say, not that you'll likely be putting on a ton of muscle with 10kg dumbells, try not to use the scale to measure your success, try to just do it with bodyfat measurements if you can get them. Like for me, if I went by BMI, the only way I can even hit 24.5-25 BMI and not lose muscle is by getting down to 5% bodyfat, and even that would be assuming I gain no more muscle in the process. Even cardio will put muscle on you, hiking and whatnot, will all build muscle if you just have the protein intake be up. Try to keep your protein intake good, you should try to get at least a gram per KG of bodyweight if you're not lifting weights, and then a gram per pound if you're lifting weights seriously.
Ah, I know. I actually have lots of muscle left over from a few years ago when I worked out and I don't want to get any bigger. I just want definition and tone, and to lower body fat %
I do get lots of protein from all the mushrooms I add to everything, and my staple is rice and beans which is protein heavy.
Regardless I can always buy more weight if necessary.

For me, the easiest thing wasn't motivating myself to look cool, I guess for me that just wasn't enough motivation, it was just finding a sport/physical activity I like, and then doing it everyday, and training for it seriously. I ice skate an hour a day most days, and then for off ice training, I started doing weights off ice for assistance work, and initially, it shocked my body a lot, I went from 215 to 180 in like 4 months. I did do some dieting, too, but yeah. Now I'm back up to 195, due to me lifting weights and more or less eating garbage this winter, but I gained a lot of muscle, as at my "old" 180 this summer, I was definitely not 5% bodyfat.
Good point, I'm thinking of getting some rollerblades for the spring/summer. Half because I'm sick of paying for the train, but also it's a fun activity.

So now it's spring, Lent actually on the Christian calender, and it's a good time to go clean up and lose weight, so props to you for giving up the drinking and partying to pursue a healthier lifestyle. One thing I will say, you're not gonna have too many friends in your endeavor. My exercise hobbies and whatnot have really distanced me from my friends, you might find it's sorta lonely at the top in that regard. You might make some more friends who like working out or whatever, but don't be surprised if your old friends distance themselves from you after you get serious in the working out thing.
Well I recently moved to a new city, been here a month and I only have two friends here who I rarely see anyways, so what better time to start..

For dieting, basically just don't eat crap, that's about it. Be mindful somewhat of calories, but don't obsess over them. If you exercise a decent amount, and don't eat crap, cook your food yourself, you'll be pretty much fine. Just try not to eat "useless" food, too. Me personally, I find some of the best dieting foods are beans, mushrooms, and cabbage. Mushrooms are especially good for low calorie meat substitutes, like a sandwich made with peppers, onions, and mushrooms, along with Worcestershire sauce, very similar to a Philly steak sandwich.
But yeah, have fun and good luck.
Thanks!
