Thank you! My number one tip is to tell everyone you are trying to be healthy. Friends,family, etc. By doing this I was able to eat out with them and have fun without feeling the peer pressure to eat bad because they know I was trying. Also I felt that I felt more will power if I didn't have those chips my friends were eating because I kept to my diet and didn't mess up. Also low carb high high protein worked best for me!

Thanks! Took about 8 months. I was 210 on January 2008 and by the time I went to college in 2009 I was 150. I have not let my self gain a pound since! My key is always doing cardio...I have consistently gone to the gym for 5 years at least 3 times a week and have always calorie counted in my head (still will have occasional "bad foods" and drjnks ofcourse) but I always make sure to follow up a bad day with more cardio the next day. This way I can have fun, socialize, happy hours etc without the worry

Sadly, I often find the opposite. Telling people you are trying to be healthy makes them feel guilty/jealous and they kinda want you to cheat or fail to make them feel better about their inactivity or unhealthy diet.

I do intervals on the treadmill for 45 minutes. Basically walk 2 minutes on 4.0 with incline of 10 then run 2 minutes on 6-7.5 on incline of 2 and switch the times and pace everyday. I try to do some crunches, leg lifts, planks 5 times a week just before bed. I also will do the elliptical in place of treadmill at times. I lost the weight in beginning all from treadmill and ab work outs helped me not have loose skin now. Let me know if you need anymore tips!

You also seemed to have a goal in mind... wanting to start college off on your best foot. I love that... reminds me to set some goals too.

Yes goals are great! Short term and long term! Usually I tell myself in beginning of the day what my goals are. Today it is to save about 600 calories for dinner so I can indulge in NYC tonight with my friends. So today I am eating high protein low carb throughout the day and lots of veggies. Set a goal everyday!
