I'm not sure how much 150lbs is in stones, but It doesn't sound to heavy.. all I can say is goodluck and don't starve yourself!

150lbs is 10stone 10lbs. 14lbs are in a stone.


Make sure you have healthy snacks around you, eg fruit, low-fat yoghurt etc so that if you really do want something between meals you don't cave. Alot of it is will-power and finding the effort to make a change though so good luck
Mind if I ask what height you are?

Why thank you, like my mummy says.. You learn something new everyday!

Lol no worries, took me forever to remember 14lbs in a stone and 12 inches in a foot.. used to always get them mixed up but I cant think in metric, if you tell me someone weighs so many kg it means nothing till I go and convert to lbs

LOL no metric in Scottland?

Well I've just started a cut so atm I'm 92kg or 202lb or 14stone 6lb
BF% is currently at 21% and I'm cutting down to 14%

There is metric here, I just don't like it lmao. I grew up adapted to imperial (blame my mum and grandparents) and now I just don't like metric, it doesnt MEAN anything to me whereas I can picture metric lol.
Atm if my scales are right (which I very much doubt since they're as old as I am but I cant be bothered pulling out the wii fit to check) Im 7 stone 12 atm but I havent a clue about body fat percentage. Is there a way of working that out or do I have to get my hands on one of those fancy little new scales lol.

hii lori i want to lose weight too. pm me ad we will talk

you seem really sweet

i'm in a nutrition course right now. so if you want to talk further on this issue, feel free to pm me. i'm happy to help

You need to get calipers to check your BF%, all gym trainers are trained in how to take it, and I would assume most doctors are too.

Ahh ok, thanks

You can do it! =) 150lb isn't to heavy at all. And ill message here if you do aswell. Im 130 5"4 which is average? But recently i've decided to be healthy, eating healthy, going to the gym twice a week and running every day i dont. This is my first week of it. Just keep active, and take the little steps as i am. =)

eat a salad or eat subway like Jared... like once a week and exercise or run the treadmill... you'll lose weight... i wouldn't recommend using diets that cost hundreds of dollars, but whatever you need... 150 isn't that bad either...

move more, eat less

/thread

im gonna lose some too,
i decided to change myself totaly, im gonna lose some weight, build a bit of muscle

oh and try to tame my 2 foot long hair
btw im 6'1

I have diabetes so I have to maintain a good weight.
I am 5'2 and weigh 138.

One of the things I had to do before was record every single thing I ate, even if it was 2 goldfish. EVERYTHING. Just write down what you eat and how much sugar, fat, and calories.
Once you see how much you actually eat, you'll be a little disgusted (i know I was).
Then try to eat no more than 1,550 if you are female and 1,850 if you are a guy.
Try to only step on the scale once a week. If you do it too much, you wont see much difference right away and you'll get a little pissed.

Also, join a gym. I joined planet fitness and I LOVE it. Everyone is so nice and it keeps you motivated to see other people all trying to reach the same goal of being healthy.

Good Luck and I KNOW you'll be able to change whatever you want.

There are a lot of healthy and natural ways to lose weight; however, you should never try skipping meals because it'll do no good.

Skipping meals=fail. A lot of small meals over the day is better because your metabolism will be going at a constant speed.

im gonna lose some too,
i decided to change myself totaly, im gonna lose some weight, build a bit of muscle
