Hi everyone! I need some advice/tips, whatever you'd like to call it. I'm trying to lose weight and get into better shape, I had a sleeping disorder back in high school, I graduated in 2004 and I gained weight from it since I slept 18 hours a day, insane I know. I use to be so active, play sports, etc and now I can't seem to lose the weight I've gained, I know some of it comes from bad eating habits also.
I try so hard to eat healthy, everyone does like a snack and likes to splurge sometimes, you only do live once but I do love my fruits and veggies a lot also and yogurt too. I just don't know how to lose the weight, I walk everyday but I don't know of any exercises I can do at home that won't cost me money since times are tight right now. I get so discouraged with my body and my image, and I'm sick of it. I want to lose the weight and be in better shape and healthier while I'm young, I'm only 24 and my mom even said try and lose it now when your young because it's only going to get harder, which I believe is definitely true.
Does anybody know of any foods that actually help burn fat and exercises that will help, I know cardio/running but I'm a bad runner now a days since I haven't ran well in years, when I played sports I was use too it but now I'm not. I figured I'd post something on here and see what everyone had to say.
Thanks for your time everyone and hope to hear from a lot of different people here on mylot!!
