Hello everyone. I am 16 years old and in highschool. I am about 190 pounds and i would like to lose about thirty pounds. I have been trying to eat healthier but it's not working to well. I am busy during the week and can only go to the gym on Saturday's. Most of my workout's(if i do some) are at my house. I would like to have some advice please!!

I have lost 30kgs. I work 7 days a week, two jobs and three of those days are 16 hours or more. I make the time to go to the gym regardless of fatigue.

My issue is possibly the same as yours... I eat healthier then I did in the past - I NEED to eat AS healthy as I can (I have about 10 more kilos to lose).

I lost the first 10kgs just walking... easy

The rest has been hard work at the gym.

Keep me posted on how you go, mate.

There are heaps of people on here who will be able to help you :-)

Do you drink soda? if you replaced three beverages per day with water, you could cut roughly 400-600 calories from your daily total calorie intake. In other words, you could lose about one pound per week simply by cutting three beverages like regular soda or juice out of your daily routine. (Brigitte Dale)

Plus all the other benefits of adding more water to your diet.

Hope this helps and good luck on your losses!

Yeah I can try to do that but we really only have one gym in our whole town (it is a small town) and is usually full. Plus i play sports after school until about 5-5:30ish so then i HAVE to do my homework as my mom says so that gives me 7:30-8:00ish to 10ish to workout and idk if i could go to the gym because i think it closes early and that is why I kinda have to work out at home and only have a bench press thing and all i can really do is bench press or use the dumbells.
