How to lose weight?

Calorie counting i am down 33 lb so far and not even strict on it.

OMAD One meal a day.
Intermittent fasting has worked wonders for many including me. From 80 kgs to 66 kgs in 2 years. Slow and steady.

Always consult your Dr first

Try the Facebook group Eat like a bear it’s keto but nothing to buy and has lots of support

I used a fit bit to track calories and used the app to log food. Turned out I wasn’t eating enough to lose weight. I’m also someone who gains weight from eating too much protein. Try for a balanced diet, log what you eat and don’t stress as you’ll just keep craving things. Don’t see foods as bad. Have a piece of cake but try to eat less that day to include the calories. Cook with spices and you’ll eat less too.

Try drinking a glass of water when you’re craving sweets. It helps.

Keto, I’ve dropped 80#

Yes try drinking more water throughout the day

Eating is 80% of the battle.

  1. Yes you will feel hungry your stomach is literally shrinking and therefore you will not feel “full”.
  2. There are good carbs and bad carbs stick to the good ones.
  3. Drink WATER like it’s $1 shots at a bar ( so lots lol)
  4. Work out- in whatever capacity your body is comfortable in. Basically just make sure you are moving and breaking a sweat
  5. Don’t compare your journey with others. We don’t know where everyone is and every person takes their own time and path.
  6. Always think “veggies first” when it comes to plating you can have it all but 1/2 the plate should be veggies.
  7. As for sweets eat them, but it moderation if you deprive yourself of the things you love you will never truly be committed or happy.

I needed help to lose weight, I’ve been doing noom for a bout 2 weeks and dropped 14 lbs. I drink lists of water and exercise but the information that I’ve gotten from noom helped me a ton

Hunger is part of changing your caloric intake and burning more calories. You shouldn’t be so hungry it hurts or it changes your mood though. You shouldn’t be losing more than a lb or so a week, but you should feel a little hungry for the first few weeks. However, you should also be moving more and drinking a lot more water. You need to make small changes. There are a million apps that can help you track what you take in vs what you put out. I like MyFitnessPal. It’s a food diary and exercise tracker. It can connect with fitbit and Garmin. There’s also a free website called eatthismuch.com and if you put in the number of calories you want to stick to and your diet of choice it will give you a meal plan each day, which you can sub out if you don’t like the options. But honestly, dieting is a terrible way to lose weight. Making permanent small changes is a better option. So use these resources, but also think of something you can live without and focus on that change. I cut out alcohol first (unless it was a special occasion). Then I cut out caffeine. Then I cut out all drinks but water. Then I cut out pasta. Then I changed the kind of bread I ate and how often I ate bread. Then I cut out sugary desserts (that sucked). Once I started to lose I introduced regular exercise into my daily routine. Then I reintroduced some pasta and bread, and eventually sweets, but by then I was running several miles a day. I made life changes. I didn’t just diet. Now I have to do maintenance, of course, but I’m in way better shape than I was. I even ran everyday through 7.5 months of my last pregnancy and then biked 1 hour everyday including the day of my c-section. It is all about incorporating changes into your life. I also do intermittent fasting, because it works with my schedule. No eating until after I workout and shower and get done everything that needs doing around the house, my schedule allows for this though. So I get up at 430am, and eat my 2 meals between 230pm and 830pm. I try not to eat outside of that, or snack in between meals. It’s hard sometimes. Anyway… try a bunch of stuff and see what sticks. It’s a long process, don’t get impatient.

I worked with a coaching company called Copper State FIT and lost 50 pounds. They taught me really simple strategies that didn’t require excessive exercise or sacrificing certain food types. Its really not about mental stamina, but more about just having a plan. They were great for me!

My husband and i do intermittent fasting and the meal we eat is high protein no carbs. He’s currently doing steak and eggs for breakfast and dinner, no lunch, water only to drink. He’s lost 8lbs in 3 days. When he straight fasts for 24 -48 hours he loses around 10-15. I lose about 2-3 lbs a day.

People are going to think I’m crazy BUT. I used to crave candy like sour gummy worms all the time, and made the switch to freeze dried fruit and have done some intermittent fasting and dropped 12 lbs in 3 weeks.

Im use Herbalife, and do an all protein waffle for breakfast and I’m good til dinner and dinner I do a protein shake. I feel way more energized and with my job I walk at least 7 miles a day. I do 1 soda a day my cheat item but I mainly do water. I’ve lost 14lbs in 1 month

try truvision. I went from 206 to 135 in 6 months. its expensive but worth it

intermittent fasting has worked well for me. Plus it has helped me not craving any sweets.

I am 5’ 4 and I weigh 220. I lost 40 lbs. drinking lots of water recently. Good luck! Be mindful of what you eat. I am high energy and don’t stop all day.

For me weight loss shakes were the way. I lost about 3 stone, I had my shakes, drank a lot of water, made an evening meal and I was walking 10K+ everyday. Cheat days were Friday and Saturday and then back to normal in the week. It’s sitting down and being bored where you want to stuff your face, but you can do it as long as you’re keeping yourself busy.

It’s so easy.

I have some 10 day trials available if anyone is interested in trying??? Just pm me.

I started working out in July 2018, doing camp gladiator. I had a hysterectomy in April of that year and was my heaviest, 203lbs. I’m 5"7". I didn’t change my diet, my diet changed because of working out. I noticed that on days that I did a work out I didn’t eat as badly. I still eat whatever I want, I just don’t eat as much now. But sticking to working out was the hardest thing I’ve done. It’s definitely a love/hate relationship. I always feel so good after though! I’ve lost about 50lbs and have kept it off. It does take time to see results, so stick with it! It’s also easier when you have someone to do it with, to hold each other accountable, find a buddy!

You’ll get there love first thing I can say is drink tons of water throughout the day, have a water bottle or jug to drink from all day if you don’t like water infuse it at night with fruit :watermelon:, second thing I suggest is meal planning and portion control for breakfast have something like oats, toast, egg wrap, lunch have one portion of a meat and salads I love but you can get creative and do stir fry whatever, suppers stick to the rule of 1/2 of veggies 1/4 a plate of grains or carbs aka potatoes, pasta, rice, 1/4 a plate of meat aka a chick breast, steak whatever you like, have shakes or healthy snacks inbetween each meal- yogurt pretzels, nuts, cut up veggies and dip, fruit salads , just small portions of it not heaping plates. Just enough to hold you over to the next meal.
Take a multivitamin, plan for 1-2 walks a day every day or a bike ride , I do the stairs outdoors because we have huge sets of them leading up to hiking trails but just even walking for 60 mins a day or getting outdoors every day will help you. Once you feel comfortable adapt to a 30 min workout with weights and then 30 mins of walking from there up it again once your ready. Just be patient with your self and set achievable goals like I will lose 1 pound this month. Or I will dedicate 1 month of walking and working out and keep a diary of it. So every time you achieve your goal have a set reward, like a new shirt or lipstick you wanted or whatever you like. I like silver fox food diary on Amazon to track my food and progress. I really hope this helps love. You can do it!

Honestly, go to a doctor. I used to have the same issue and now I’m losing weight.

I lost 50 lbs in about a year. I quit drinking sugar completely. No sweet tea, pop, shakes etc. I didnt change my eating habits just quit drinking sugar, no diet soda either. Was 245lbs now 195.

I’m on the Optavia program which works on losing weight, changing your mindset and healthy movement. You can message me if you are interested.

Cut sugar out, lower carb intake, up protein intake. Lots of fruits and veggies too. Try to stay away from smoothies. They break down the fibers and nutrients of the stuff going in them and only temporarily fill you up and make you actually hungrier during the day. Try taking walks or hikes when you can. Also look into Chloe Ting workout videos on YouTube. MadFit also has some good ones. Lots of stuff for beginners. You’ll get there. Just takes lots of time and effort and discipline. Also try meal prepping. That has helped tremendously with mine as well as saved me time during the week to spend more time exercising or being with my family.

Easy… cut all sugar … use splenda instead… dont drink you’re calories… they add up… and go for a 30 min walk at least 3 times a week… and remember to put the fork down… portion control

I tried weight watchers, nutrisystem, slimfast, jenny craig.
You name it, I’ve tried it.
I’ve struggled with weight my entire life.
I would NEVER let ANYONE take my picture, until one day someone at church put me on the spot and I was too embarrassed to say “no”.
As embarrassed as I was, I’m glad I did, because that picture was the beginning of a journey that has changed my life.
I was 285+ when the picture was taken, wearing a 24W-26W and 4X-5X tops.
I am now 168 and in a size 12.
The way I did it? The keto diet.
Nothing else has ever worked for me.
I’m still working on losing about 30 more pounds, but I’ve gradually (over the last 6 months) gone from keto to low carb and healthy.
I think keto taught me discipline.
Biggest thing to remember is it is a JOURNEY, and just don’t give up.
The first picture was taken in March of 2019. The second was taken this February.
If I can do it, I promise, anyone can. I was a food addict. I ate my feelings. I ate to celebrate and I ate to cry. I ate because a show was coming on and I ate because it was 2am and no one was watching.
Just find what works for you and KEEP AT IT. If you have a bad day, dust yourself off and get back to work! If you eat a bad meal, don’t say, “Well I’ve blown today, might as well go out with a bang!” Eat healthy the next meal.
Don’t think “Well I’ve messed up this week, might as well re-start next Monday”
Just keep at it. Don’t give up.

Look into high volume eating with low calorie foods & a calorie deficit . That way you are eating more to keep you full but also eating healthier… also lots of water / liquids . Alot of the time you may just be under hydrated and you body can mistake this as hunger.

I would love to chat with those of you that have struggled or are struggling to lose weight.

There are many fad diet plans out there and people are bound to be sceptical when hearing about them all including herbalife. Wow, even we were sceptical. It took us ages to decide to give this a go. Our own results prompted us to help others.

Please guys, I urge you to atleast get in contact with me as the results I have had from myself, my partner and our clients are real.

Just make one change at a time…starting with up your water intake! (3 litres a day) What a difference it makes, don’t go no sugar, go low sugar ( NO sugar or fat free crap, it really is crap) as in cut down but not out, eat fats, good fats, oily fish, avocados, Greek yoghurt, low fruit and carb intake, again don’t cut out completely for two reasons

  1. You’ll crave what you deny yourself
  2. Long term it’s unsustainable, and if you cut out dairy, carbs, fats etc you can change the density of your bones, causing early onset osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, you don’t need to run miles etc either, twice a week lift some weights! Even if you use the kids :blush: compound exercises like squats, deadlifts etc you’ll sustain this lifestyle much longer than any Herbalife or weight watchers nonsense
    Good luck! :grin:

Feel free to inbox me for what I did

I love weight watchers

Have you read Dr. Phil’s 20/20 book - 20 foods in 20 days? it’s meant for long term success

Diets work for some but eating raw/ whole clean foods, drinking lots of water, walking & hiking helped me loose weight & feel my best. I think when you make healthy eating & living a habit it’s easier. Doing meditation, journaling, yoga also helped me feel good mentally/ emotionally & was a form of self care to keep me going days it wasn’t so easy. Good luck, I hope you find what works for you. :blush:

Weight watchers is always successful for me

Im the same way and i suffer from anxiety and depression and its sooo hard some days to get motivated…

Start small. Cut out one unhealthy thing. Sugar for me is a huge one that makes me gain fast and crave unhealthy food. Track your food. My fitness pal app is free and good to see where you’re using your calories. Up your protein and eat often but smaller amounts of healthier food. Move. Even a ten min YouTube video of yoga or stretching or squats. If you really want it and work at it you can do it!!! Best of luck to you!

Honestly. I was the same way, I started only eating between the hours of 11am-6pm sunday-thursday and 1pm-6pm Friday and Saturday. It was worked for me :grin: good luck

It was hard at first but worth it

Is it just your diet you’ve changed? Or have you tried increasing exercise too?

I have found that a keto diet and light exercise works for me. I was able to lose 25kgs in 10 months. However it can take some research and trial and error. I’m sure a lot of people will hate in keto and say how unhealthy it is but it works wonders for some people. Especially if you don’t have a lot of time for exercise.

Find one of those HIIT programs. They’re usually no more than 30 minutes long and will give you amazing results if you stick with it and eat right. It’s OK to have a cheat day now and then by try and stick with it.

I joined an excellent online 30 min exercise class each morning to begin the day online (not wkds) - the trainer mixes up the week with different classes from pilates, yoga, core, weights . . .various workouts. Just moving in the morning will stop the atrophy of the muscles then you can add walks, bike ride some sort of aerobic then healthy diet - its routine, baby steps and keep moving in mornings. YOU can do it!

Low carb meals, nutrient packed snacks eating every 2.5-3 hours and drinking LOTS of water (64-100 oz per day). Stay away from sugar. My health program adheres to this model and I lost 30 pounds in 5 months without exercising. Exercise is great but weight loss starts with what you put into your body…

Body Project videos on YouTube

The biggest part of weight loss is your diet. It’s important to select healthy meals and a plan you can actually make a part of your life (has to be a lifestyle), not some fad diet. Also portion control is big, making sure you get enough healthy calories to feel full and and not starving all the time. Don’t deprive yourself of all the goodies you love, just have them in moderation. Exercise is obviously important but really only accounts for a small amount of your weight loss goal. Exercise will help tone, increase cardiovascular endurance/health and strength. Check out Chloe ting videos on YouTube, I find them to be fairly quick, and doable. Be kind to yourself - set your goal (small attainable goals, once you reach that goal set another) and get excited, your kiddos need their mama to stay healthy for them!!

Call me a b. To loose weight - do not eat the evening. It is hard because you get to cook it. After 7 or 8. I am not Hungary. Put leftovers into containers for lunch

Fill your nutritional gaps with thrive," all natural vitamins & workout. I’m turning 39 this year already dealing with menopause,Thrive has changed my life & given it back to me. Helps with my weight management & controls my crazy cravings. Gives me plenty of energy to make it through my days.

Count calories. Walk daily.

The most important thing is watching what u eat. But all u really need is 20-30 mins of workout u can do once the kids are asleep 4x a week. Phone apps really help get a calorie counter and u can YouTube diff workout videos or get an app that will tell u which workout to do and for how long and keep track of ur progress. Don’t give up if u don’t notice changes right away

Check to see if ur job has a wellness program. That has helped me sooo much n increase water intake. I lost 30lbs in 6 mo just walking eating small portions and no snacking at night I have 75lbs to go…

Drink lots of water and walk 30 mins a day. Cut out pop and junk food, bread and pasta

Talk to your doctor about phentermine, it curbs your appetite and boosts your metabolism. It along with healthy eating and exercise will help significantly! But life is short momma, rock those shorts! :heart:

Get rid of all Soda, Drink lots of Water & Walk, Walk, and Walk very briskly.
Good Luck.

Google tdee calculator to determine a calorie defecit for your height and weight. I weigh and track everything before I eat it in the lose it app. Start exercising even if you walk 10 min a day and build from there but it’s 99% diet

Personally, I have done none of the above, why? Because if i got busy being a mom and forgot to count calories or get an excercise in it would stress me out and just make things worse. So i add little work out excercises into my everyday routines. Like when doing laundry, while folding leave basket on the floor and do squats while folding laundry. Less stressed and more accomplishing!

When you shop, skip the middle of the store except for canned non-carb vegetables. Make colorful vegetables the star of your plate. If you eat meat, get organic. Eating animals that have been fed growth hormones doesn’t do us any favors. And no protein portions bigger than your fist. If you have to have cookies for the kids, animal crackers, Graham crackers (they come in chocolate!), and ginger snaps are good. Or any kind you don’t like. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Skip desserts and don’t buy sodas. Substitute fruit, yoghurt, or small amounts of organic cheese for dessert, seltzer water with no sweeteners for soda. Get unsweetened iced tea if you’re out. When I’m craving sweets, I have some high-end chocolate chips (10 max), like Ghirardelli.

If you eat out, put half your protein and carbs in a takeout box right away. Eat the rest and all the non-carb vegetables. Add more colorful veggies from home to the takeout box for another meal. Only eat decadent desserts and fattening foods on special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries or Mother’s Day. Give extra cake away to others so you won’t have a giant slab to tempt you.

I put meals on small plates and eat with small utensils to make it seem like I’m having more, and eat mindfully. When eating food I don’t like as much, I use a big plate or bowl, big utensils, and eat mindlessly while reading or watching TV (big bowl of greens or cauliflower, for instance). Use flavorful herbs and spices instead of butter and cheese. We Americans eat way too much fatty and salty cheese. If you must use cheese, stick to those with lots of flavor like Parmesan/Romano, bleu cheese or very sharp cheddar where a little goes a long way.

Eat whole wheat bread and pasta and brown rice instead of white in small amounts. Use olive oil and herbs/spices on half a baked potato vs. sour cream, cheese, butter and/or bacon, though small amounts of well cooked bacon, like strong cheese, can add a lot of flavor with just a little.

Add mashed cauliflower to mashed potatoes, squash to (whole wheat) mac n cheese, dump frozen mixed vegetables or a bag/box of whole or chopped spinach in anything you’re eating. Salsa is a good, low-cal addition to whatever you’re cooking. Hummous works instead of mayonnaise in lots of things & as a sandwich spread. I double the vegetables and halve the meat & carbs in recipes. I add lots of celery & water chestnuts to my tuna salad, for example. Use unsweetened applesauce or other fruit in your hot cereals or on (whole grain) waffles and pancakes to sweeten them vs butter & syrup.

Don’t Fry stuff in oil/grease. Bake or air fry, and air-popped popcorn is a good snack. Find restaurants with healthy food (Wendy’s salads, KFC pot pies [marginally better], McDonald’s oatmeal, Middle Eastern and Greek restaurants, some Asian dishes with lots of vegetables (save half the rice/noodles/potatoes for later), Cava, Sweetgreen, some Panera selections). Pick frozen yogurt, sherbet, ices or Tofutti instead of ice cream for birthdays. Use tofu instead of cream for creamy soups. As much tea as you want and dry milk and stevia in your coffee unless you take it black.

Once you cut out a lot of sugar you’ll miss it less & less. Colas are addictive, and you’ll lose the cravings after you’ve been off them for a while. When you have Italian food, be sure to have a salad, zucchini, or other vegetables and fruits available for “pizza and movie” night, and fill up on those first. Get cauliflower or whole wheat crust pizza if possible.

Add movement as much as you can. Bike or walk to the store if you can, park further from stores/office so you have to walk further. Do plies while you’re standing at the stove, sit ups or yoga while you’re watching TV.

Walk with a friend, take a movement class, get a mini trampoline, put an exercise machine in front of the TV. I have a rowing machine that I can fall onto in the morning and row until my eyes open. I am so NOT a morning person. I have a sort of sit-up device that hits my lower abdomen (my pooch), and do a few reps whenever. I follow Carmen Brocklehurst doing Tai Chi Ch’ih (find “Joy Through Movement” on You Tube) which is super easy if you’re out of shape, but actually brings results and is easier to follow and remember than regular Tai Chi. Also is a form of meditation and good for your lymph and circulatory systems.

Good luck! It’s good practice for menopause when the pounds creep on quickly.

If you do go Keto, check out FlavCity videos with the adorable 2-year-old Rose as sous-chef.

Track your calories. Get a fitbit and see how many calories you are burning. Eat less calories than you burn. Exercise daily 30 minutes. Get 10k steps per day.

I have tried almost everything and ended up being depressed and hated my body for very long. When I accepted my 6.3ft tall and 245lbs body and moved on I started loosing weight without any workout or routine. I am now 201lbs. Brush it off your mind and eat healthy

I walk 3 miles minimum 4 days a week. I keep a healthy diet lower 1500 calories . I use Samsung health to track the miles and sometimes the food.
I work full time job. Single mom of 3, so yeah it is busy outhere.

Food: Veg juice cleanse x 7 days, followed by 2 weeks of whole food vegan (Pegan), easing into auto immune paleo (or whole 30) x 30 days.
Exercise: intervals! Whatever you are doing (bike, run, etc), go as hard as you can as long as you can, then go another 1 minute, then go slow (not stop) until heart rate comes down. Then do it again… a bunch of times. Both morning and night for quickest result.
Oh and MyFitnessPal app.

Do not fall for any of the vitamins, weight loss shakes, or pills that are out there please! It all starts with diet. Cut out the amount of carbs you eat. Snacks soda and junk food? throw them out!
It’s hard work but you can do it!

But please, there is no magical pill out there that will shed the pounds. The pyramid schemes out there infuriate me.

Start lifting small weights and drink lots of water. You need muscle to burn fat. Also talk to your doctor and let them know you want to workout. They may have a good starting place

To lose weight you have to be burning as many calories as you are taking in. You should have your heavier meals when you are most active and your lightest when you are less active like at night. I would see the chiropractor before trying situps or crunches. You will need those or your belly won’t go away likely very easy. However with back pain that may be hard for you. You can still have something sweet if you crave it but again make sure you are in an active part of your day. You got this!

Easiest trick I’ve learned is buy ankle and wrist weights… put them on with your clothes in the morning… helps build muscle which in turn helps burn calories… you don’t have to do anything extra… try to eat healthy
