How to lose weight? Weight Loss Tips?
I am 18, 5ft 6in, 190lbs(more or less). I just graduated from high school, and will be starting college in August. I’ve never had a boyfriend and really interested in starting to date, but I’m really shy esp. around guys that I find really cute and have crush on.
Anyway I think that maybe if I lose the weight men will notice me more and find me attractive. I think that I’ve finally accepted the fact that I’m fat, and possibly keeping me from looking beautiful. I have a gym membership and tried like 10 times to lose weight, but give up. I want to get to 140lbs by next year May or by the end of this year.
How do I go about losing this weight? What kind of diet should I go on?I would love to converse with someone via e-mail to further express my weight loss concerns.

Well with loosing weight, the body needs gradual changes with food/exercise.
Probably the most important thing to do when trying to Loose Weight is to eat healthily, so try to limit foods like chocolate, cakes, biscuits etc to small quantities and eat healthy alternatives. Also, try to reduce carbohydrates, which converts into fat unless you exercise it off.
Also, it would be a good idea to replace food with a high fat content with low fat alternatives
E.g. Swap full-fat milk (60 calories per 100ml) for semi-skimmed milk (About 50 calories per 100ml)
For examples of a daily menu, try:

Or alternatively, you could use the grazing diet which means to eat little but often which is more affective.
Examples of a menu:
9/10AM (Breakfast): Low fat yogurt and a piece of fruit
11AM: Nutrition Bar and tea
1PM (Lunch): Salad
3PM: Handful of nuts (low fat – like almonds/walnuts) with fruit
6/7 PM (Dinner): Fish and vegetables
8/9PM (Before bedtime): Rice cakes with jam and a milky drink. By eating something small before bedtime, the metabloism keeps going through the night. Otherwise, the metabolism will shut down until you start eating the next day and will store food overnight.
As for exercise, exercising in small periods, (3 times a week for about a 20 minutes – 1 hour) is more effective than exercising for 2 hours at a time daily because the body needs time to recover. You could still use the gym or just try jogging and have long walks frequently.
Hope I Helped
