I'm (18F) finally working towards losing weight! I never really had enough control over my environment/diet/etc before moving away for college and I figured it was time to actually start my weight loss journey. So far I've done some research on the CICO method, but otherwise I dont know much about what I'm doing. Heres what I know right now:
• I'm roughly 180 pounds (177 as of a doctors appointment ~1-2 months ago, I'm very doubtful this has changed much since then + I have a scale arriving in the mail tomorrow!) And I'm 5'2.
• I live in a dorm on campus so I don't have tons of options for food, but I have 100% become more mindful of what im eating and am picking from our "healthier" options.
• I've been limiting my calorie intake to 1400 per day.
• I'm REALLY bad about drinking water but I've been drinking ~30-40 ounces per day.
• I've started going to the gym 3 times a week doing about an hour/ hour ½ of exercise each time. Right now I'm mostly using the treadmill at a consistent 3mph speed, as im very out of shape and asthmatic, so I want to start off simple.
•I work ~17 hours a week at a job that requires a lot of standing/minor movements (grill food and dishwashing) but not necessarily a lot of walking like a server would.
• I attend a large college campus so I average around 7-10k steps per day just for a normal day of classes/work.
Any advice you have as to what I could do better would be greatly appreciated! My biggest question would probably just be is there anything I'm missing? Does this daily calorie intake (1400) seem accurate? Should I be going to the gym more frequently/doing different routines? My goal is to eventually work my way down to ~135-140 pounds, ideally losing 1 ½ pounds per week but no less than 1. Thanks!
