One pound= 3500 calories so you should try to lower your intake of calories by 500-1000 depending on your intake right now. The healthy way to lose weight is 2-3 lbs at a time but the 1st 10 or so will come quicker because it'll be water weight. Also try doing some cardio to burn off some calories :) Hope this helps -------------- That\\'s the fastest time ever run - but it\\'s not as fast as the world record! -- David Coleman

You are probably seeing some weight gain because you have cut down your activity level, but not your calories. Most college campuses have gyms - get in there and get some exercise! ============ Quoting from poolmaster1990: Well losing weight comes first with altering your diet.
