well i'm 19 years old, soon turning 20. Well to start i'm in college, so that doesn't help me trying to loose weight at all, because of the really bad food. But when we got back from christmas break, my roommate was on a diet because something in her clicked that she needed to lose weight. I was so proud of her for doing it because then she would be happier about her self. But the more i watched her eat better, the more i relized i ate like crap. So i think that is when it hit me that i really need to lose weight and that might help me feel better about myself as well.
But that's why i started.
I'm not doing any "fad diet" i'm doing it on my own, that way it's not a diet it is a life style change. I go to the gym everyday except thursday. I don't go on thursday because i have class and work all day so when i finally get back to my room i'm just so tired i can't do anything, so i take that as a me day. At the gym i do the eliptical for twenty minutes and the treadmill anywhere from twenty minutes to sixty minutes, it all varies to the time i have, and i also do arm, leg and ab training. I'm doing my best and that's all i can do.
History: I have always been the larger person out of my friends, all through High school i was always the largest one, i hang with skinny people for the most part, that was mostly based on the fact that they were my friends i made through Field hockey. I played sports through my whole life too, in high school i played field hockey and track. I played Field hockey all four years and i was good at it, i played my first year in College but i hated the coach and i just couldn't keep going the way i was going because it made me very upset all the time. I played track in high school too, but that was my goof off sport so i didn't take it that serious, but i did like it. THEN i came to college, and i ate like crap and i didn't exercise...hense weight gain...
But right now i eat about 1,000 calories a day and i exercise about 600 calories off at the gym...until i am at my goal weight and which then i will raise my calories. Here are my stats and goals:
SW: 217
CW: 208
GW: 140
Goals:
That will consist of loosing 2 lbs a week, in August that might not happen but i just want that wight by the end of the month, if i make it by then i would be so happy and will treat myself to a full body massage!!
But that's why i started.
