Maybe I can fill in for him. 1st off let me say HI. This is great place you all have here. I was reading a lot last night, and have learned quite a bit in just a short time.
My situation is the quite similar to the original poster. I too am 5'6 and i weighed in @ 160 just last week. I have always had a 30'' waist and never had a weight issue. I always ate what I wanted and pretty much maintained. Now,...i'm gaining pretty quickly have the double, check that, TRIPLE chin working. Having a smaller frame makes the weight show that much easier.
I'm looking to lose about 10-15 lbs. I would love to change my eating habits I started a food journal today and I'm going to keep track of what i eat on a daily basis. I think just keeping track will make me question every time i go to stuff my face. I'm pretty handy in the kitchen, so I'm not opposed to switching up what i eat. Or more importantly... HOW i eat.
I know i should start my own thread, but I just kinda jumped in because our situations were similar. I LOVE fast food.. taco bell, mc d's, KFC, etc.....I do not consume soda. That is one thing I have going for me. If i do, its usually
diet sprite or something clear. I don't like dark colas. I have been starting to consume more water, i use 1/2 packet of Crystal Light lemonade just for flavor. What is the census on using these packets?
I have started hitting the local Y and been getting into playing basketball, well just shooting around. I do NOT have the stamina to actually RUN...to see me, you'd think I was pretty fit. I hide it well. I could sit here all day, but I wont.
Basically I'm just looking for tips/advice for loosing 10-15 lbs.
Thanks in advance.
