Thanks for the help all these days later! In mid-March I tore my meniscus in my knee. I've mostly recovered so far. I can jog but can't sprint. But for a while, I didn't exercise a lot, but I still managed to lose weight. I did it by dieting hard. It sucked for a while, but I get fuller so much faster now. I actually really getting full quickly. When I got home from college, my parents and grandmother all commented saying I lost weight, so I weighted myself and I had lost 15 lbs. That mean I'm almost halfway through my 40 lbs that I'm trying to lose. Which is awesome. But I feel like I've only been eating smaller portions, not healthier at all. I've put in a lot of work so far and still have a lot to go, but it will all be a waste if I don't start eating better. Thanks for the resources for me to read up on! thenewgreen, how is your weight loss effort going?
