HELP! I need to lose weight! :(

Hey there!
I’m a new face around here—just signed up hoping you all might drop some wisdom my way, haha.
To give you the rundown: I’m 18 years old, standing at about 6'3", and weighing in at 214 lbs.
My ultimate goal? I want to drop down to at least 198 lbs!
Right now, my routine involves running for two to three hours every single night—yes, really—and once I finally get home, I just grab one or two apples... I don't eat breakfast until 10:00 AM, and then I wait until 4:00 PM for my next meal!
Any advice? Please, help me out. 🤷

Try here or here if you want some advice. 🙂Around here, we mostly stick to health stuff and various disorders. If you're looking to lose weight, you're going to have to go check out these two PDFs instead.

Much appreciated, 🙂

Don't mention it. Honestly, you'll get much faster and more practical advice if you head over there. Most people on this forum talk about weight loss as if it’s just some side effect of another issue, but you’re actually making it your goal.

My suggestion? Start hitting up the local YMCA. You'll find a crowd that’s actually training and watching what they eat, so you can pick up some useful tips from people who live it. 🙂

Well, if I might be so bold as to offer a little bit of assistance regarding your weight loss journey, perhaps you could find some truly fascinating and enlightening articles over at www.healthline.com?

You want the real scoop on Herbalife? I went all in for six months and dropped about 45 pounds. It works, but only if you’ve got the cash to burn and you're okay with eating their shakes for breakfast and dinner while having one actual meal for lunch.

Then they try to upsell you on fiber supplements and those teas. Sure, they work, but man, they aren't cheap!

The shake is basically $110 and you'll be stuck on it for two weeks!
The fiber feels like $70 and that tea is just way too $67

And don't get me started when they try to recruit you to join the squad, start recruiting your friends, chasing discounts, blah blah blah...
Just hop on a bike and ride for an hour every day—you'll be 20 pounds lighter in a month, easy.

Eat five small meals a day and call it a day. Don't go pigging out once and then starving yourself for the rest of the day. Just grab something light every 3 or 4 hours... and ride that bike! Running will just wreck your knees.
