Newbie from Ohio

Hi there everyone! My name is Ali. I'm a college student who, unfortunately, gained that dreaded freshman 15. Turns out not having daily soccer practices and not knowing proper nutrition will do that to you. Hoping to find some healthy eating inspiration or tips on here and any helpful advice on losing weight and getting lean again. I'm pretty active and work out at least 4 times a week doing at least 30 minutes of cardio and lifting each workout. Any workout tips would be much appreciated too! Looking forward to hearing back from people.

Also if you know of any good tips to be sure you stay on track with healthy eating and choices other than tracking it would be super helpful!!
