I'm new and looking for some help

[jbevins18]

I'm 17 and I'm not very happy with my body and I've tried working out but I'm not sure what kind of work outs I should be doing or what I should be using. I have the problem of gaining weight but I can't seem to ever lose it. I was hoping to get some of your guy's advice on what I should do or take to help lose the weight.

With slow metabolism, you gain weight easily. All the ladies here will ask that you post up your stats and your diet. Diet is key, my friend. Trust me. Diet is key. Post up stats and diet and the ladies will help from there.

Okay well I'm 5'2 about 120lbs and as of right now I have a pretty crappy diet

Post your diet. What you eat, when you eat. Have you ever gone to a gym before and worked out, or will this be your first time? What is your goal? Lose body fat, or weight? Big difference!

Hi Jbevins and welcome!

Please post what you eat and drink through the day and we'll be able to help you.

Diet is the key. I don't recommend you 'use' anything.

I used to go to the gym with my boyfriend but money got a little tight, but I wanna start going again. I pretty much just eat junk as of right now I don't have a very healthy diet I just eat whatever I want . I try to only eat when I am really hungry. My problem is whenever I do eat I never seem to get full right away, is it because the kind of food I am eating or something else? My goal is to lose weight, atleast 10lbs. I don't drink pop mostly just ice tea and kool aid.

You should drop both, liquid calories are SUCH a waste. A lot of gyms will do "couples/family" plans.... for a discount rate, you should check it out! And welcome to the board!!

You gotta' get the diet right or nothing else is going to work for you. 1200-1500 cal a day is where you should be with protein being the MAIN ingredient of every meal (20-25 grams).
