I've always struggled with my weight i wasn't obese but i was always bullid for the extra weight. So far i lost 29 lbs since february 2015 especially after i started taking anti depressants in fall i started running and i was at the swim team but since it's cold i stopped running and the season for
Swimming ended i can't make myself run because im always saying to myself "oh u can't run the extra mile". I've been eatin ALOT of junkfood lately too. What can i do to make my habits better and what are good snacks that won't interfere with my diet?
Thanks,
Alina :)

    Have 20 to 25 pounds i would like to lose. My calorie goal is set to lose 1.5 pounds a week and my calorie allowance is a little over 1300. I also take fitness classes 2 to 3 times a week and trying for at least 30 minutes every other day.

    Good snacks for me are fruit, especially sliced apples. Preztels are good replacement for chips.
