Welcome to Gaia! ::

SO i've been trying to loose weight: for about a month, a month ago I weighed at 245, yesterday I weighed myself 237! Pretty much I did a few things, but am I doing everything? I am trying to reach a goal of about 185. [I am 21 and 6'4'']

I now eat a complete breakfast, usually cereal.

For snacks, I cut out chips and cookies and all of that. For snacks I usually have an apple, nuts or even some carrots [the kind you buy for salads, not steamed.

For lunch, I usually have some kind of sandwich, for the most part on either whole wheat or rye bread. I don't use mustard or mayo or anything. I also usually bring along a yogurt as well with either raspberries, blueberries, sliced bannas, sliced peaches or strawberries.

I cut out soda completely. I pretty much just drink water, though when I work out, I occasionally have a Gatorade. [maybe once a week IF that]

I work second shift, so I work out when I wake up at 7:30 for about an hour at the YMCA, where i'm a member of. I mostly just run on the tredmill for about an hour. I burn about 500 calories.

I don't eat much ice-cream, if I do it's usually frozen yogurt, and it's only once a week: if that.

For dinner, I have a source of protein with some dark green veggies.

I pretty much cut out fast food: except for maybe once or twice a month; can't stand it that much really.

So what do you all think, am I on the right track? Anything I could do?
