Just like many of you, I try to watch what I eat. The only problem is that I often watch it go into my mouth. For the most part, my diet is really good during the week. The one thing I am very disciplined about is exercise. I get up at 4:30 every school day and get in a 30-45 minute walk at a brisk pace (I am "chronologically challenged, so I don't run) along with some push-up's and core body exercises.

I wish my life was as interesting in real life as it is in this thread. Lol

My normal routine once we are in-season is to lift two days per week, Friday right after school and Saturday right after our morning practice.
I will do a major lift first (bench, squat or clean) for strength work and follow that up with a metabolic workout.
Look into Coach Dos' Cardio Strength Training, complexes. This is CrossFit before CrossFit, but it's not some bastardized, haphazard program. They are time-savers.
During the off-season, I try to gain size, strength and lift completely different. I can get done with a session in 45 minutes including warm-up.

It's not going to the gym I have a problem with in season. I eat like crap during the season. Monday JV games start at 6pm, usually eat a small snack after work (off-campus coach), then dinner (Fast food) at like 9. Friday's is the same, only with a fast food meal at 4:30 for a 7pm game, then something after. Going to try a meal replacement bar or protien bar instead this year.

Pack a protein bar (make sure it is low in sugar), a few PB&Js, and a bottle of water everyday; it will help you eat better. Also, and this is big, have a good breakfast. I have 4 eggs, two pieces of wheat toast, and a large glass of milk every morning. It helps me keep my wt right

"Round" is a shape, right?
Just remember, men - it gets harder the older you get.
Start now, don't stop.
For your family if not for yourself.

Something I read by Dan John that really resonated with me (paraphrased): at a certain point, fitness/health becomes about basic human dignity. As I get older, I'll want to be able to play with my kids and grandkids, so I need to lay the groundwork now via habit forming.

I weighed 360 at age 27. I weigh 275 at 38 and am probably in the best shape of my life. It sucked, but I can't imagine going back to the way I was. Not aiming my sort of curtness at you, but I had a co worker when I lost all my weight at 27 bemoan how much I was wasting my time because at 30 apparently some mythical hammer drops on you and you can no longer work out. Just always rubbed me raw and it honestly is my motivation a lot of days to get a workout in. I also work out with my wife now. Have been doing that for the past year and a half. It not only keeps us both in shape, but it has awesome side "benefits".
