So I'm 22, in my 5th year in college, I've gained quite a bit from highschool. Its not anywhere but my gut, a good way to describe it would be a beer gut LOL

I know part of my problem is just that, beer. I'm prepared to stop going out and drinking heavily so damn much, its getting tired after 4+ years....but my diet also pretty much sucks and consists of 80%+ fast food, and I hardly exercise (unless you consider golf exercise)

I need to get on the right track with a diet that consists of meals that are not difficult to prepare and preferably cost effective, and can be prepared quickly. I work MWF from 8:30-6 and go to school Tu Th from 9:30-7 (with a 3 hour break in the afternoon) where do I find the time for exercise?

I just weighed myself, sitting at 181 at 5'5" - would like to get to 150. I know about BMI but honestly with my frame I would be pretty damn small at 150.

so thats 31 pounds to lose - where do i start??
