@@ady_494Im 14 and ive been trying to lose weight aswell. so far i went from 235 to 221. idk how long, maybe 2-3 months? im just trying to do it safely. id recommend eating less portions and working out a little bit. just ten push ups, ten sit ups, and 20 second plank a day, or working out with dumbbells? really any type of movement would be great for you! and try not to get upset if you don't see any results. It takes time, but eventually you will get there if you watch what you eat. Also, try to be in a calorie deficit (eating around 100-300 calories less than recommend), but try not to worry too much about calories. Just dont load up your plate and do some simple exercises every day or every two days depending on how hard they are. You can do this! And remember, always love yourself no matter what. Weight can be a really hard thing to lose, and dont beat yourself up if you dont lose any at first. It takes time, and your size doesn't matter either way. People may say stuff or you may feel like youre not good enough, but you are.

Remember to also eat less and drink lots of water too! Losing weight includes working out and burning more calories than you're eating! I'm currently on my first day of juicing and I plan on continuing it for five months with sprinkles of protein and salads every few weeks (so I won't die 💀) It's hard but four pounds OFF is still amazing, as long as you're losing weight and happy with yourself you're doing great! I'd suggest trying cardio, if you live in an apartment like me i'd suggest air cycling! Remember that you got this man, don't give up, losing weight gets easier the more you continue doing what's good for your body!
So far right now, from March 2023 at 302lbs to May 2023 at 264lbs. Im walking, trying to run or jog occasionally, but im still on the journey to 150 lbs. Keep going everyone!
Within 4 weeks I lost 14 pounds by going on an extreme diet no soda no candy limited my portions eating alot of sugar free and carb free substitutes like zucchini pizza boats rather than pizza no fruit juice lemonade just water and no sugar ice tea I consume about 900 calories a day it was hard at first but I'm doing this becauseim type 2 diabetes my height is 5"9 and used to weight around 257 pounds then within another week I lost 5 pounds so a total of 19-20 pounds 😀 Old weight- 257 New weight - 238 I'm hoping to lose more weight to keep my a1c levels good

Wow this motivates me… even 1 pound of fat must be a lot… it doesn’t show immediately since you lost it from every inch of your body and it’s not put together like this but slowly and surely it will… it’s amazing.

This is the motivation I needed today ❤ I've lost 16kg, 26kg to go!
a lot of times weight loss comes with losing water weight and slight muscle loss. this is only true if you’re tracking protein and training while being on deficit but even with that when u lose ur first few pounds itll most likely be some water weight but im not trying to be a debbie downer because regardless those first 5-10 lbs u lose r really encouraging to keep going

@8th account yes i hear u! It’s good to lose water retention however it’s not what’ll be as sustained when you stop dieting and return to maintenance, fat loss is.
I’ve lost about 4 of those over the last half year. I made a couple of permanent changes I can live with and lost it very slowly. I need to lose one more and to get in shape and gain muscle though. I changed my milk from 2% to skim and cut out all sugar pretty much in my drinks and replaced with stevia.
That was a fantastic explanation! Too easy to follow. Thanks for posting!
My journey started on 3/16/2023. 6'2 238lbs est BF 32-34%. Eating clean and smaller portions 4-5x per day, 1hr cardio 6x a week and weight training 3-4x a week. I'm down to 203.8 as of today and just getting started😁

eating healthier and being more active
The proper nutrition part is more important than you think. When I was younger, I worked out a lot but neglected good eating habits. As I grew older, I lost the strength to exercise as much, started gaining weight and blaming myself. But now I am focusing on eating a balanced and regular diet, I suddenly feel strong enough to be active again.
She has some mesmerizing eyes
I went from 136 to 126 in a week planning to get to 100 but having a hard time losing the rest
I’m not laying in bed in pain all day everyday before going to work at 4pm to stand on my feet all evening anymore. I’m down from 185 to 165 at 5’4. I’m 33 and thought this is just what getting old feels like. My “chronic leg pain” was just from hauling around too much fat. 🙌🏼 there hope for anyone else in pain. I still gotta work on my lounging before work problem but atleast it’s not from pain anymore!!
I grew up in a very primitive, wild, and challenging environment. Every day, people bullied me because of my looks. I had only a few friends, and I treated them poorly because I was unhappy. I directed my aggression and negative emotions toward them, losi

Started at 134, now at 110 only 20lbs more to lose💪💪
I started sleeping more and drinking more water. Made a world of difference because I was actually able to stick to my diet. 😅 Poor sleep can make us think we're hungry actually. In my opinion sleep needs to be a priority if you wanna lose weight. Without sleep you won't have energy to exercise not even going for a walk.
love your vibe!
Diet is the most important part of weight loss. Prioritize sleep, eat only 1-ingredient foods if possible and regular strength training. Discipline=freedom

My doc has me doing keto due to pre-diabetes/insulin resistance. Round 1 in 2020 and dropped 70 lbs. Round 2 since May 9th, 2023 (its August 24th) and dropped 25.9 lbs so far. I walk, but that's about it. I just make sure my meals are nutrient dense. Got labs done this week and the doctor said they're good. Especially the liver one -- normal. Hemoglobin a1c has dropped to 5.1 since my last a1c in 2022. I still find healthy fruits that are low carb and fit it in like Zespri sungold kiwifruit which is packed with b vitamins, nectarine (only 15g carbs), plums, watermelon, berries. I even have raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized local wildflower honey from the PNW and 1 tsp is only 5g carbs and I don't consume sugar anymore (I use erythritol as its a 1:1 ratio) so its REALLY sweet. I put only 1 teaspoon on my keto pumpkin mug cake yesterday and it was perfect but I think I'll use half a teaspoon next time. The sweetness hit me like crazy. I like to Intermittent Fast as well, not to weight loss, but to keep my glucose under control. Keto keeps it stable, but as long as I don't snack in between meals, and I do some extra fasting, then it gives my body time to rest and do its biological functions which I learned it cannot do properly if there's high glucose and insulin spikes. I feel amazing and my mental health improved so much and I know its due to the body being able to do its biological functions now.
V3ry happy for everyone who lost weight from this, if your not doing it for yourself though then dont do it and if you are for yourself then make sure to take care of yourself at the same time, i got depressed when i lost alot of weight and now im just exercising every once in a while. Its a sliw process but im much happier now :)

That’s way more than I thought it was gonna be! 😮
Went from 120 to 112 in 2 months!! Hoping to lose 5-7lb before April
I lost 3 times that after gaining depression weight after going through an abusive relationship. I had just let myself go. In the beginning of the diet I had actually gained weight the first week lol so it was kind of discouraging and throughout my weightloss journey, the numbers on the scale weren't always going straight down, but I never gave up. I just picked myself up again and kept going and changed what I thought I was doing wrong or could improve in, even if I had a bad week or bad month in terms of the diet. I plan on losing more. I haven't weighed this in years! So whoever is reading this, just keep going! Even if you stumble you can do this. 😊 It's the little things that make a difference, like switching out sugary drinks with water or replacing sugar in your coffee with artificial sweeteners. (Make sure its the good kind like erythritol, or monk fruit, or stevia without dextrose/maltodextrose) Replacing carbs with something else like broccoli instead of bread or rice at dinner. Replacing foods I craved (like junk food) with healthier alternatives like instead of ice cream, I'll make my own frozen yogurt. Ill buy plain yogurt at the store (no sugar or minimal sugar) and blend it with real fruit mixed with some stevia. Remember there's always a healthy version of an unhealthy food/ a better alternative. Even if you go dirty sometimes and reach for diet coke instead of regular coke if you're going to drink it anyways. Just limit the dirty diet choices haha but it's good for "emergency" days when you feel unmotivated to be healthy 😅. Be careful with eating a lot of healthy foods too that are high in calories though. Like cashews. You can eat them but not all in one go. (One of my mistakes that I had to change when I was in a plateu but i was eating an unhealthy amount of them daily lol). Your efforts will add up, and you'll see results! I think of it as gaining diet points/a pat on the back for every effort I do throughout the day/every time I reach for a healthier alternative instead of an unhealthy one. lol. Also, it's 70 percent of what you eat and 30 percent exercise. I didn't focus too much on the exercise part. It takes an hour of walking to burn only about 100 calories. So it's just easier to focus your attention on the diet part. But yeah exercise can be a boost. I just found it more efficient to focus more on the diet. :)

I recently started to work out my belly and legs muscles. The problem is that the idea does not come from my own motivation, but my mom's. I will not lie. She is a toxic, manipulative, insecure and emotionally abusive person. She has her own body image problems- but c'mon she is in her 40's, she gave birth to 3 kids and was not on extreme diet or workout routine since her 20's, AND she is aging. It's normal that she will not look like models from magazines that just turned 20!!! She is passing and throwing her own emotional issues on me and saying the most gross slurs about my looks or weight. I cannot live one day without hearing her complaining about my body fat. And I'm not even obese. I'm overweight. I don't want to go to dietitian(cuz it's costs a lot a money) or go to gym with my mom(cuz it's not funny when she and her friends are making fun of me all the time). I don't see a workout as something bad, I think it is healthy- i've been sleeping well recenlty and I basically feel better. The problem is that my moms main goal is make my loose weight, which I don't really care much about. If only fridge wasn't always empy or instead loaded with her healthy ingriediens that I can't just take to school in pieces- I wouln't buy junk food between classes. I won't bring salad leaves to school. She works from home and can eat whatever she wants and when she wants. I only have few minutes a day to sit down and eat. And also i don't have much space in my bag for huge lunch boxes. She gave me an ultimatum. If I won't loose one kilo a month then she will take away my electronics. It's not fair. Maybe I'm a gamer and I spend a lot of time in front my computer. But my electronic are also needed for school work. How taking away my computer will change something about my weigth? I work out everyday and it's not taking me a lot of time, my computer is not distracting me. The worst part of it is that she won't listen. She will not consider even questioning if her actions are wrong. She is in charge in our relationship, I have no right to speak or explain anything to my mom. Even if I work out and try to eat healthier, it's really hard to loose weight for me. And I'm living in continuos stress which drives me to binge eating. I don't know what to do...

Don't worry sweet heart...just cut out all sugar from your diet...even flour which turns to sugar and juices...walking is a great way to lose weight ...mixed with strength training using simple dumbell workouts can also boost metabolism...make sure you get protein like chicken or beans or eggs eaten at each meal to help build and keep muscle while the fat drops off from not using sugar anymore...sugar is the culprit for alot of people...just drink water or mineral water or soda water or coconut water ....not even juices are any good as they have as much sugar as soda...it is finally working for me so I know it can work for anyone.
