I am a 22 year old male. I'm currently attending college, and am over weight. The last year my weight has really shot up and I made the decision I had to do something about it. I have been somewhat over weight my entire life, not to the extent I am now though. I want to do this for my health, plus I love helping the community. So hopefully in a few months I can run my first 5k for children burn victims. Hopefully this sight will guide me on my journey. Thanks for your time

Joshua. Check out our Forum and find out where you feel comfortable. There is a Men's Corner but you are welcome anywhere.

By the way, I modified your profile to remove Fitday and the Ticker. You cannot have a ticker until after 20 days and 20 posts. If you have Fitday, it should be entered into your profile as just the user name, not the whole link.

I somewhat have a plan. Morning at 8AM I eat i packet of low fat oatmeal, with 1 cut up banana in it. Around noon time I have 1 can of tuna fish, with 1 boiled egg white mixed in. 3PM I try just to find something healthy around the house, I could use some ideas for that time. 6pm I eat usual diner, I just cut down the serving size. Most the time its grilled/baked chicken. then around 8pm I have snack well 100 calorie for my sweet tooth. But you I could use some healthy snake tips also for during the day. Thanks
