Well, I spent the last two years in college and let me tell you. College (at least in my case) can be very bad if you're paying complete attention to your diet. My college presented the wonderful "Buffet for Breakfast, Lunch and Supper" with just two catches... nothing healthy was presented and the meal plan of at least six meals was mandatory.
When I started college I weighed 190 lbs. and at the end of first year was at 245 lbs. I managed to drop down to 205 lbs by August. When I returned to college I gained again and weighed 237 lbs. (as of last week.)
As a result of being done, and no longer being forced to eat a certain way, I am now in a position to start losing weight. I moved into my new apartment, and when I did my grocery shopping it was all healthy food. I bought a membership for my apartments gym, and am now determined to lose my weight.
Week 1 (three days of the week):
1. 15 minutes of cardio on the tredmil.
2. 10 minutes of the bicycle.
3. 3 reps of 10 of chest presses (I think that's the right term.)
4. 3 reps of 10 of another chest exercise. (Almost like a sitting bench press)
5. 3 reps of 10 of curls on 25 lb. weight
6. 3 reps of 10 of arm lifts on 25 lb. weight
7. 3 reps of 10 of barbel curls at 75 lbs.
8. 3 reps of 10 of squats at 75 lbs.
9. 3 reps of 10 of bench press at 100 lbs. (I can do much much higher, but I am tired near the end, and don't have a spotter and don't want to risk it. I've maxed out at 210 lbs. Although that was a few years ago.)
I was in awesome shape when I played on the football team, and I plan on getting back there. I am really enjoying work out out (not really the healthy eating part! LOL but what can you do? I'm determined.) Hopefully, this work out plan combined with my diet will start shedding some weight. I plan on adding some ab workouts for next week too. The gym I have is very small, and I use every machine they have. (Like I said, very small).
Here are some pics from week 1 (don't expect much lol):
