Hey everyone! I am new here but I am so happy I found this site with people who have same problems and goals as me.

Loosing weight and not gaining it back is kind of a war that I have my whole life. So far its been ok. I was loosing weight and doin my best keeping it. Then a few weeks ago my best friend and I had a fight. Next day she emailed me sayin all these means things includin my weight. Then also my bf made an insensitive joke about it. And I snaped... so I kept eatin. Boy do I feel bad. lol So I was wonderin if any of you know a fast diet kinda like for a week or so that I can use to go back to my normal rutine? I would really appreciate it.

Welcome to the forums!!!

Hmmmm well Im assuming your trying to lose weight so Id say go with a 2000 cal diet. 40% protein 40% carbs and 20% fat ( not saturated fat) try to go easy on the carbs later in the day. this is VERY basic post if you need more detail

I am not really a pro at whole gym things and I dunno them by name lol so here it goes: bike thingy, stairs thingy. lol U know what me talkin about?

Swimming is probably the best cardio yo can do, and you dont get all sweaty!
