Trouble Losing Weight

I am right there with you girl...I have devoted myself to the Beachbody programs..started in January and absolutely love their workouts and nutrition help! The key is to up your protein and lower your carbs...there are certain calculations to find out where you should be in the calorie range..like me I am up in the 2300 range a day and the inches are dropping so hopefully I will be where I would love to be by my wedding! You have to remember and what was so hard for me for years is that 85% of weight loss is in your nutrition and it sucks! haha ... good luck!

That's really rude of your customer to say that. I don't care if someone is obviously pregnant, you never mention anything. You could absolutely lose the weight!

If you want to lose weight FAST, try the Scarsdale diet. It's pretty lean (800-1200 calories a day) but you do it for 2 weeks and you drop pounds fast. Combine that with working out a little harder and you're going to lose the weight.

View Quoted Comment Your calorie goal makes me hopeful! I always feel hungry only eating 1200! Are the calculations through beach body?

View Quoted Comment I'll look into that! Thank you!

I wish that feeling would set in.. I have 2 months before fittings :-/

I would double check the calories you’re eating- that seems low. You’re body may actually hold on to more weight if you’re eating too little. Focus more on eating higher protein and more veggies. Drink enough water. And exercise 5-6 days a wewk

View Quoted Comment Thanks for the advice! I'll look into that more!

Yes, this last year has been really hard for me as my metabolism has pretty much just ghosted me now that I am older. I am on weight watchers and doing barre for an hour 5 to 6 days a week. I was really hesitant, but weight watchers is working for me. I had a personal trainer and a meal plan before, but it was hard to follow and still have a life. I wish losing weight was as easy as gaining them.

View Quoted Comment That's awesome! If gaining weight was a competition, I'd probably win!

I am just doing an online app not the in person meetings for weight watchers.

Its getting nicer out, ride your bike, use your legs and walk, swim! Track your calories so you can stay in control, and lay off the chocolate

View Quoted Comment I can relate. I could probably gain weight off of just sniffing a muffin

View Quoted Comment Haha yes! And you should be eating 5-6 times a day..and yes thru beachbody they are..the most popular programs are 21 day fix (I recommend to start out) 21 day fix extreme and 80 day obsession...each have their own calorie calculations based on the intensity of the workouts to make sure you are fueling your body correctly.

You're welcome and good luck!

It's really rude to say such things to women. I've been losing weight recently, and now it seems that exercising with Zumba video is very effective. I bought some Zumba DVDs, then used WonderFox's software to directly convert these DVDs to mobile phones for anytime exercise. Now I've lost 5 pounds. I hope my experience will help you, and actually, lose weight is not difficult as you think.

View Quoted Comment I don't feel hungry all the time....if I do I will snack on something like a cucumber that's only 5 calories for the whole thing

I had a coworker do that once. Even patted my stomach. Try the whole30. It's the only thing that has worked for me and teaches you to eat healthy and then reintroduce foods not eliminate them forever.

This is why I just purchased my first Spanx... desperate times call for desperate measures.

Check with your doctor. That's always the first thing I suggest. Also, drink a lot more water than you think you need. If you're dehydrated, your body holds the water weight more stubbornly. Get lots of sleep because the right amount of sleep allows your body to work more optimally and you will get more out of your workouts. Get your heart rate up at least three times a week, more if you can handle it. Make permanent dietary changes, because let me tell you from experience - if you start a diet and use it to lose weight for a specific event and then go back to eating the way you were before - ALL the weight will come back plus some. It was a terrible lesson to learn and made me feel terrible. And if you do everything you can and still can't take off the weight, Spanx. Good luck, and I hope you feel beautiful on your wedding day!

View Quoted Comment I too join weight watchers in January 2016. Due to having poor health and being heavy. At first I thought I couldn’t do it but then I started losing weigh 50 pounds in 4 months fast just by learning how to eat healthier and going to the gym 3 times a week and Zumba twice a week. Two years later I’ve lost a total of 102 pounds. And still eating healthy. That’s really our main goal is to be healthy. Good luck on what ever you start with but always remember you can do it.
