Struggling newcomer

[AlwaysSweetx]

Hey fellow body shapers.


I would like to start by saying that I have put on over 2stone since meeting my boyfriend 2years ago, so really that's like 1stone per year which is not a healthy way to live. My problem is the inconvenience of making a meal, we always op for the takeaway option which is really bad I am trying to get myself motivation to actually slim down and start to feel confident again.


So what has putting on weight done to me?

Well basically now all I do is constantly think of what am eating and if its bad or good. I constantly speak about losing weight and its getting the stage were I feel depressed about it. My skin has started to get really bad with breakouts due to the types of food am eating and I even find myself "sneaking" food when I say to friends and family will you support me through trying to lose weight and not offer me anything that I will not eat.




I have joined the gym and I am planing on going tomorrow for some classes, I'm not sure how much I should exercise or what kinds of foods I should eat for breakfast, lunches and dinner. I still live at my parents home as I am still a student.


Any Advice would be accepted

Thank you

I am also a student in college. But you should post other info about yourself like weight, height and your body fat%. You should definately get a scale that measures this because if you stay at the same weight because you gained muscle and loss fat your body fat % will drop and that is motivating. I've been eatting healthier for about a month now and have loss about 20 lbs ( also i exercise). This is what my day looks like:



breakfast: Hard boiled egg or banana (then take a One-a-day for men for the extra vitamins)

snack: Protein bar (sometimes)

Lunch: turkey sandwich (with mayo ), an apple, and string cheese. Sometimes some carrots

snack: orange

Dinner: Fish or chicken with some sort of veggie

sometimes snack on honey roasted peanuts



Now, i am very active at work and by this I mean i walk around quite a bit. But after work I go for a brisk walk for an hour ( now i throw in jogging ever couple minutes) and also i do a Crunch: Fat Burning Ab Attack workout video (30 mins). Sometimes I do one or the other. Also stretch before and after exercises/ do yoga on a free day or something. Keep your life active instead of being inside watching tv.



I cut out all sweet and my big one, SODA. I strictly only drink water and plenty of it! Now I do cheat, maybe one meal a week I go out with friends but still no Soda and try not to kill the diet on one meal.
