Well-needed advice

Hi, I don’t have a set fitness routine but I’m interested in HIIT training and weight training. I don’t know much about fitness, which led me to this forum. Here are my stats:

20 year old female
5’4.5
185 lbs
body fat ~ 38% (I know …this is atrocious)

Right now I do classes at my university’s health center and have lost approx. 10 pounds in two weeks through practically starving…since reading info on this forum I’ve realized it was stupid of me to eat so little, as it screws with my metabolism….

I’m looking to get to a normal weight around 130lbs and I want to get really lean. I don’t want to look “thick” if you know what I mean (my body type is mesomorph- It took 6+ years of chronic overeating to get to this weight). My current diet is a work in progress but here’s a good day:

Breakfast:
Oatmeal, 2 egg whites, orange juice
Snack:
Yogurt, banana
Lunch:
Chicken noodle soup
Dinner:
Chicken breast, whole-wheat pasta, spinach

Although I have access to fitness equipment, I have a grocery budget that I have to adhere to; its not too strict but food suggestions that are fairly inexpensive would be great. Any suggestions or advice on what exactly to eat/ a solid fitness routine or where exactly I can find that info will be appreciated.
 
Hi, just a tip about hiit, don't start with it right away, I would recommend that you build up a running base before you attempt hiit, as it is a very stressing activity for the body and nobody wants to be injured (cause then you cant work out :rolleyes: ;)) so why don't you start to run for example 5 km, take it very easy and gradually increase speed, when you feel comfortable with 5 km, increase the distance by 10-15% per week (remember never increase speed & distance at the same time) to whatever you want, when you can run for 30-45 minutes take a week off running, then perhaps start to look into hiit... just my 2 centimes

and welcome to the forum :)
