Hello!

I have been wanting to lose weight since Christmas and it starts now. I am currently attending college - So I have access to the gym 24/7. Not sure if you can see my stats but I am 19 years old 220lbs 5'10".

I was looking to maybe lose the weight by running 5/6 times a week, following this guide.

What are your thoughts on this? To much? To little? I am determind to lose around 30pounds or so. But this is the first time I really have to work on my weight since doing sports in high school.

Nutrition is also a big factor in this, but being at college can be somewhat difficult, especially without a car or a kitchen to cook in.

Any personal tips or recommendations for me?

Thanks,
Labarr

In my opinion nutrition makes more of a difference than exercise. Your kitchen comment has me thinking back to college days - I would buy myself a small fridge and perhaps a microwave oven for my room if I didn't have access to sufficient shared facilities. Focus on vegetables, beans and fruit.
