The day I decided to start my diet was the day that I saw 250 on the scale....That was four years ago....Ive been dieting off and on since then and I'm currently at 205.. Im 21 years old and Im 5'11 male. People keep on telling me they can see a difference but i truly can't. My goal is 185. I don't eat the healthiest but I do watch how many calories I put in my body. I work full time and go to school so don't really have time to make "healthy" lunches. Any Ideas on quick healthy lunches would be appreciate. Also any quick workouts I could do? Any tips that would be helpful to help me hit my goal would be appreciated. I want to someday be able to walk around with confidence. I would like to have a week go by without someone joking about my weight.

    Quick workout program : Focus T25 !

    Healthy Snacks : Tuna with crackers, apple, baby carrot, nuts and seeds, greek yogourt, turkey jerky, hummus, fruit smoothie on the go, protein bars, etc....

    I could also give you some recipes but if you don't wanna cook you can check the above ideas. What i usually do is cook my meals and snacks over the weekend and freeze them for later.

    I know the feeling of being too busy! You have to make YOU a priority. I have a full time job, 2 kids, husband, house and dog. I give ME 1 hour a day. Some quick lunches I like are: small can of tuna with whole wheat crackers (no mayo), put some cream cheese on a pickle and wrap with ham ( my kids love these too! We call them pinwheels), sliced apple with natural peanut butter, flat out bread with cream cheese and deli meat or tuna, And a piece of Romaine lettuce stuffed with left over chicken and cherry tomatoes.

    Some quick ways to get workout in- park in the back 40 always, walk to destination, take the stairs, do butt clenches in your chair and leg lifts in your chair, squats while on the phone, walk during your lunch.

    All easier said than done, best of luck on your journey.

    For lunch I like wraps. I also like to chop up some romaine and green bell pepper and throw a scoop of cottage cheese on top and call that lunch. For exercise there are tons of free apps if you have a smart phone. The workouts can be as short as 7 to 15 minutes but they get you sweating.
