Freshman 20

edited February 3 in Health and Weight Loss
I left to college weighing 100 lbs (I'm 5' 0") and I came back 121 lbs.
I don't exercise regularly (I can't keep myself on the treadmill and outdoor running isn't much of an option) I do eat extremely healthy at home - I stay off wheat and dairy and my diet consists of, for the most part, raw foods (fruit and veggies) and healthier grains such as quiona. I don't each white sugar or foods containing white sugar except for the rare occasions. In college I ate about triple the amount of calories in foods dripping in in grease. I've been home already 3 months and have not lost any weight yet despite going back to my healthy way of eating. Any suggestions please?
Thank you!
p.s. I would also love any suggestions for a fun way to exercise :)

    Start tracking calories. Even if you are eating healthy food, you can still be going over calories, or eating at maintenance.

    Some ideas for exercise: bike riding, walking, hiking, swimming, zumba, work out videos (Insanity, Jillian Michaels, T25). There's lots of things to do activity wise! Find something you enjoy and stick with it.
