The Key to a new body is consistency. When you decide how you want to loose weight stick to it. The gym is a great place to loose weight, especially since it can be a socail environment. Bring some friends along to work out with you, they can make it fun to work out! Healthy eating is also an important key to loosing weight. But crash diets are not good for you, and acually if you do not eat your body goes through dramatic phases and may make you even larger because your metabolism slows down, thinking that you may be starving! If you buy unhealthy foods or if they are around you, you will be tempted to eat them. Sorround yourself with healthy but good-tasting foods. If you are a couch potato work out while you are watching television. Good luck!

Good for you that is a choice you will not regret. As for loosing more weight, keep up the exercise, it took a few years to gain the weight so there is no quick fix. Start on a regimen where you eat 6 smaller meals per day instead of only three and drink at least 8, 8oz glasses of water.Good luck.

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats and it will tell you how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight. take 300-400calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones.
5-8 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.
8 glasses of water a day.
4-6 times a week cardio work out for 30-50min plus light weight training.
no junk food, no sodas, no white flour (white bread, pasta, cookies, cakes etc)

Well I would recommend cardio exercises like running or jump roping. Swimming is also a very good form of exercise. For eating eat healthier and don't drink pop its horrible for your body. Eat smaller portions too it'll be hard in the beginning but it will pay off.

Eat 6-8 small meals instead of 3 big meals, continue to exercise daily and drink plenty of water (8 to 12 glasses of water) ...and congrats on going to college and may it be a pleasant experience for you.

You have to change your eating habits. Your body burns a certain amount of calories a day. Working out will burn more calories. But, if you are eating more than is being burned, you will still gain weight. Change your eating habits. No junk food or pop, appropriate portion sizes. Lots of veggies. Celery, cucumbers and tomatoes are all very low cal foods.
