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??  |
Ah the ol' college days! Surprisingly I had my biggest beer gut when I drank the least, and my smallest gut when I drank the most. Go figure. For me it was a function of how often I exercised and what I was eating, and even though I drank a lot in college, I worked out so heavily that I still was burning more calories than I was consuming, and was able to stay very lean. That at the end of the day is what you need to figure out, is how to get yourself in a position where you are consuming fewer calories than you are expending. Dropping alcohol will help a ton.
Do you have a timeframe that you want to lose the weight in? Also, what's your physical activity like? I can tell you about how many calories a day you should be eating to lose that 30lbs in whatever timeframe you want.
Just need age, height, weight (which I have), and activity level (exercise, walking, etc)
