in Getting Started
Hi everyone !!! Have read some of your amazing weight loss stories, I'm 21 and weigh in at 151 lbs I need to loose 40lbs. My biggest problems is food when im hungry I just eat the nearest and quickest thing I can find. I have 3 meals a day pretty health and calorie count I don't tend to go over my calories and I attended gym 3 times a week but I just don't see me shifting any of this excsess weight !!!. Any ideas ?!

Thanks you :)

    Its hard to make sense of your post. Your problems as you explained are:

    You get hungry= either what you are eating isnt making you feel full.= eat food that will make you feel full.
    You have no organisation or self control so as soon as you get hungry you eat whatever= Organise it so you have healthy food available or make sure you dont get hungry or leanr some willpower to wait till you cna eat soemthing more appropriate.

    The reason you are not losing is because you are not at a calorific deficit, normally becayse you are eating more hna you think and burning less. master your deficit and you will lose, simple as that. This is how weight loss works. Read the thread. Its knowledge you need a the moment.

    Try having a prep day. Cook up a giant bunch of rice, grilled chicken, chop up raw veggies, etc. Then you can just grab it out of the fridge and heat it up. (or even eat it cold). Usually fast food is because it is convenient. So make eating healthy convenient. :)

    I agree with DianaLovesCoffee. Cooking up some rice, grilled chicken, and veggies is not only a good healthy meal, it's also easy to make and you can easily make extra so you have some on hand that you eat when you get the craving to eat. Get some small containers that you put your food in and it will be like controlling the portions you are eating as well

    But just eating right is not all you need to do. You should definitely incorporate some exercise. Starting by simply going for a walk is very beneficial. And as Capt_Apollo said, sign up for a race.
