Hi all. I'm a 27 yo college student. I decided it was time to drop some weight, and have been dieting/walking for the last 2 weeks. I'm 6'2" and am tipping the scales at 240 lbs. When I started I was closer to 245-250. My bmi has me calculated as obese, and while I don't feel like I am obese, Ive decided to drop some weight.
My goal is to get down to 215 lbs. I've been eating anywhere from 1200-1800 calories daily, as well as walking between 2-3 miles every evening. I'm looking for some suggestions and/or guidelines about what I'm doing overall. More exercise, less calories, etc...
My main problem that I've encountered so far is every evening between 11 and 12 I become so hungry that I can hear my stomach rumbling. Its hard to not eat, but when I do I try and make sure it is something low in calories. Any suggestions on how to get over this hump would be appreciated as well.
I look forward to contributing to the forum and look forward to reaching my goal!
As a man, and a very tall man at that, your base calorie intake should be no fewer than 1800 calories. As for the night time rumbling - I can relate to that! I usually chug some water on those nights, if it's really bad then I drink 1/2 milk and try to occupy myself until it passes.
hey there phatboi, glad to see you are here!!!
I would suggest
tracking your calories for the day
drinking more water
doing some exercising for 30min a day (does your College have a gym?)
and get yer but to bed before 11pm so you won't hear thoes tummy grumbles!!
