Hello everyone, I'm 18 years old I'm 5'2" and the last time I weighed I was about 132. The reason I'm joining is because I have no idea how to eat properly or even exercise properly which is pathetic-- I need to find a balance of eating right and exercising/losing weight. My lowest weight I've ever been is 118 (last year in '07) and I never got to my goal weight (105-110). The highest I've been was 178--I was 15/16, and I never want to see those numbers again!

When I was losing weight before I wasn't doing anything... literally. I ate less and drank cokes like they were water but this time around it's just not working and it has me at my wits end. I'm having breakdowns because of my weight and it's starting to control my life as well which is now starting to affect my family and relationship and I need to fix it ASAP. I want to be able to go out, fit back into my jeans, and feel good about myself again. I'm still young and it shouldn't be like this. :(

Right now I have no money to spare on expensive home equipment or a gym membership so I feel pretty screwed in those areas.


If anyone has any advice or tips I would GREATLY appreciate them!

Don't worry, you are in the right place. Tell as a bit more about yourself. Do you exercise at all, and if yes, what form and how many times?
 
Welcome! Many if not most of the folks on this forum, myself included, were previously out of shape before making the commitment to get in shape as you are now.

As Fit4life said, tell us more about yourself, post pics if you like and start a journal and make yourself accountable.
 
I haven't really exercised much, once I know of what I should be doing then I'll put my full effort behind it. I've had friends tell me what I should do, and then I'll research on the internet and I'll just get confused and it'll overwhelm me. There's so much mixed information out there.

I've had friends tell me to do crunches, flutterkicks, and then another who told me to not do any of that but to actually do cardio but then he wouldn't tell me what kind. :/

I know I at least want to get rid of my body fat in my "problem areas", ass/thighs/stomach/love handles Then at least find a way to gain *some* muscle or tone areas, when I lost my weight before doing nothing I lost a lot if not all of my muscle i'm sure of it. By the time I was 17 I had more jiggle in certain areas than my mom.

I really have no idea what I should be doing specifically, how long, or how many days a week though. I never grew up with any of this in my life, everyone in my family was naturally skinny.
 
Welcome
