New and hoping to reach my goal

Maccapretz Posts: 2 Joined: 2002/02/02	2002/02/02, 06:20 AM Hi, i just joined today, i am hoping to loose weight and maybe tone up my abs abit, i seem to be quiet toned in the leg and arms region due to many years of competitive swimming and running but i just seem to have put alot of fat on now and want to loose it. I have read the nutrition programs but not too sure what i should eat to loose weight, i have chose the home program as i cant go to a gym, but need help in my diet i have never been able to control my eating to well, i hope someone can help me with that. I cant eat any dairy products due to allergies but i drink soy milk every now and then not my favourite though. Look forward to starting on monday and hope i can get off to a good start.
