I need help. I 5'5" and weigh 255 lbs. I want to lose weight. I even got a job at agym to to get a free membership. My problem is ..... I'm a broke college student so I barely have money t ogo healthy grocery shopping. I live off of Ramen noodles and tuna fish. Can anyone help or guide me to eat better on a limited budget? Please help.

You can definately eat healthily on a budget. Think of making things in bulk, ie, vegetable sauces that you can have on rice or couscous.

Ms Provedince, Good luck! and WELCOME!
I buy most of my produce at a local farmer's market, its about 1/2 the cost of a regular grocery store and usually much tastier because its local (and picked ripe, not 2 months early then sent on a truck across the country).

Have you considered body for life. Since you work at a gym, and love tuna, its the first thing that came to mind. It is an awsome program!

WannaB Have you tries body for life? And if so how di dit work for you?

Yes, I did body for life. It is awsome. If you bye the book, and/or the journal, it is like having a personal trainer. I personaly used the regualr type of bfl. There is one for women, but i really don't know anythng aobut it. I used to be in awsome shape, and I can say this is definintly the way to go if you like working out at the gym. (It seems that I let "life issue" get in the way of my progress lately, but as soon as I get back on track, I'll be on a body for life type of program)
