Hi there!
I joined this board in hopes that being surrounded by people with similar goals will keep me on track in my goals!
Currently, I'm about 5'5 1/2 and weigh 140lbs, and hoping to loose 10 lbs over the next 4-5 months. Last school year, I exercised 3-4 times a day, 40 minutes on the elliptical, and ~15 minutes on weights. Sad to say, once my summer job began, I slacked off for about...3 months and I'm not sure if I gained weight or not because the number on the scale didn't budge, but I feel like my pants are beginning to feel tight. I only re-started my exercise regime near beginning of August [40 min running/yoga 3-4 times a week]...and hopefully that'll keep the weight gain in check until I'm fit enough again to go back to my 1 hour exercises.
The thing is, exercising isn't the problem, it's my eating habits that's hindering my efforts. I usually eat when I'm bored, but sometimes I'm studying and all I can think about is how hungry I am. I'm not the type to deprive myself either, and I always eat breakfast, lots of vegetables and protein...I just eat too much. I count the calories for my breakfasts, since I tend to eat most in the morning, and it ranged from 400 - 700 kcal...which is quite a big range, I think. And it's not like I eat less for lunch and dinner either, so at the end of the day, the calorie count is wayy higher than what I need to loose weight. I can distract myself from the hunger for a little while, but then the stress becomes too much and I cave.
But anyway, I think I've talked enough about myself for now! Don't want to scare people away
Nice to meet all of you!
