To begin - I started my freshman year of college last August and told myself over and over the 'freshman 15' was not going to be a problem for me. Was I ever wrong. Since August I have gained 20 pounds, weighing about 170 right now I would say. I am a 5'7" female, and I want to get down to like about 135 pounds.
Here's the plan:
Run a mile on the treadmill (5.6 mph) at least 5 times a week, along with walking at 3.7 mph until I have been on the treadmill for a total of 45 minutes to an hour total. (I began doing this last week and it was hard at first but I worked my way up).
I usually have a yogurt for breakfast, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I also usually have a bagel with cream cheese along with this (because of class I don't want to sit in class and have my stomach growling for three hours). I have been eating Stoffers Lasagna at work (350 calories, is this a bad choice?) snacking on celery (with lowfat ranch dip) and wheat thins. Drinking pleanty of water. I try to have a salad for dinner or something as healthy as possible.
Any suggestions/ideas for improvement?
What would you expect (for the average person, I know everyone's different), would be the rate that I would be losing weight?
Anything would help I would be so grateful! Thank you so much!
