athletes?

are there any athletes in here that need to lose weight? anyone living a far away from home who eats cause they are emotional or upset?

im nearly 19, living in a different country, 5'9 and 150. need to get to 130

I lost weight to get in shape to play basketball. I realized that a lot of my bad habits came from eating for reasons other than being hungry. The key is acknowledging why you think you are emotionally eating. For me, I think a lot of the time I was bored or really just ignorant about how much I was actually consuming. Sometimes I have to ask myself, why am I eating this? Am I really hungry or am I mad, frustrated, or bored???? That usually gets me to make better decisions about what I consume and really helped me lose the weight I wanted to.

i'm an athlete, 5'9" and 150 as well. But i can't imagine myself weighing 130 pounds and not looking deathly sick. Are you really small framed? Ideally I guess I'd like to be about 145 but I can't even imagine my body much below that. Do you have much muscle?

3 sport college athlete. 5'4 150. the only reason i gain weight is cause of alcohol & being in college doesnt help. yes i need to loose and im trying to get to 125-130 then again im only 5'4 . you being 5'9 i dont think it would look to healthy to be around the same weight as someone whose supposed to weigh 125-130. I agree with sarah beth and if you have alot of muscle that does make somewhat of a difference
