I am 20, and in my junior year of college. I also work a fulltime 50-60 hr a week job. I need to lose weight badly.
When I was in HS, I was in Cross Country (16:30 club, I might add), played soccer in HS & 1 yr of college, and played basketball. At my best weight I was 5'11", 175, at 12% body fat.
Now, I've let myself slowly get far far overweight. I used to have acid reflux, and would throw up after every meal (in a completely non-intentional way, so i'm not bulimic or anorexic) and i got on prescription to end that. I started to gain weight after i lost my acid reflux b/c i was still eating as much but wasn't throwing up every day.
After i got done playing soccer my freshman year, i kind of stopped working out. My whole life i'd been in shape and pretty cut, and now it's ridiculous the shape i'm in.
I am now 5'11" and weigh in at 240. Please don't post comments just telilng me how shit and worthless I am, because that doesn't help anything and makes you look like an asshole.
I realize that what I need is a full lifestyle change, but it is hard for me, because I work 50-60 hours a week, and then i come home and do homework for most of the night (studying a double major in poli sci and business mgment, with a double minor in history and english).
Like I said, I need help. I don't necesarrily need to have a 6 pack or anything, and i don't want some 4 week diet plan, i need some solid advice for how to make a lifestyle change that will help me become more healthy, lose weight, and become a better person.
Thanks so much SF'ers, i know you'll come through for me.

I think it's reasonable if you run a health deficit in the winter and try to make up for it in the summer.
