Smile Hi everybody!

Hi everybody!

I'm Radu, 20yrs old, male from Romania. I'm new here and generally not used these types of forums, but I've seen a lot of great support from people around here and thought i could get some help too.

I'm obviously here because i have a weight problem i have been struggling with for the past years. I currently weight 267 pounds (my height is 6 feet and 2 inches, sorry I'm not used to imperial units). I've tried many diets, pills and all that stuff. Some worked (for some time), most of them didn't. I've also tried some workout plans but shamefully I didn't stick to them much.

The main problem is my unhealthy lifestyle. I'm currently in college which takes up some time but I also work as a freelancer from home which makes it impossible for me to have a decent schedule because i usually work until late at night. This results in occasionally eating at night.

I generally eat cooked food, I ain't crazy about sweets (can't even remember the last time I've eaten chocolate , but I do enjoy chips and crunchy stuff. I can provide more details if necessary.

I know this may be a lot to read, but i hope you guys can help me with some suggestions like what diet would be appropriate with my bad schedule, how to deal with my mid-night cravings (I honestly can't go to sleep with an empty stomach if my last meal was at 7 PM and I'm going to bed at 4 AM), and some exercise ideas. Or anything else that might help.

Again, happy to join and hope i can get some support with my problem.

Thanks in advance!
Radu

P.S. Just wondering, what would be an ideal weight for me considering my age, height etc??

Hi Radu, and welcome! Hopefully others here can recommend some diets for you; since for me personally I don't believe in them (just eating healthfully) I would not have any suggestions on that. But there is an entire section here on diet plans which you might find helpful also.

Welcome Radu (Carabus1206) - It's always nice to have another male here on 3 Fat Chicks.

Posting is a good start. Work on your skills at planning your food and exercise with an eating plan and exercise plan. As Misti said, there are lots of options followed on different forums within 3FC.

You might connect with the active crowd at 20-Somethings.

Good luck. Glad you've joined us.
