Hello members of the WLF forum. As you can see I barely registered in this forum. I am seeking for help and advice from people with experience.

Ok. To start off I will fill you guys in details about myself.

I'm 16 ; 5'5 in height and weight about 220 pounds. I have finally come to the point where i want to get rid of this fat for good. It's almost summer time and the heat is coming :) . In my opinion this season is the best season to burn weight, so I really want to make something out of this summer vacation. I do understand that during this process I will need to be committed into loosing weight and in great shape. I recently began to smoke tobacco , and it's killing me every time I want to exercise. I do understand the very first thing to do is quit the nicotine and move on to bigger things. So for that today is going to be my first day not smoking nicotine ( I know i've said that many times before but today will be official ). I do realize that i can not over-eat my calorie intake as it will result to gaining more weight. I need to know what i should do, where i should start.


Can someone provide the help i seek?
 
Hey 2True....glad to have you on the forum.

The first thing that I did was purchase a small notebook to use as a food journal. Everything I've eaten since January 7 is written in this book. This has helped me keep tabs on what goes into my mouth. As for what goes out, I write my exercises in the same book (at the bottom, next to my total water intake for the day). The only thing you REALLY need to know to start is calories in VS. calories out. Read the stickies and you will learn a lot.

I would advise trying to eat things that you make at home. Fresh food is the best. I'm addicted to baked chicken breast. Mmmm...all that protein! :)

Anyway, if you have any questions, fire away!
 
hey steve harris, im glad you gave me this idea. But how am i supposed to know how much calories are in the things i eat?
 
The calories are listed in the nutritional information of all food you buy. Be sure to read the portion size (a lot of people misjudge their portion sizes). If you make something at home, add the calories of the different calories together and divide the total by the number of portions. For example, when I make homemade pizza I add the crust, the marinara sauce, the cheese, the meat, etc.. The total usually ends up around 2500, so I cut the pizza into 25 pieces (for the convienience of knowing 2 pieces = 200 calories).

also, try websites that allow users to search for nutritional values (thedailyplate.com)
