Weight loss help

I am counting calories and eating in a calorie deficit. I use MyNetDairy to track everything. I also weigh out all of my meals including all ingredients including any spices and condiments that I use when making the food. If I have a drink with calories in it I count those as well. I have found it really easy to use. I still eat food that I like just smaller portions.

Losing 40 lbs in 6 months really isn't healthy - so if you don't care about your health you may as well go on a semaglutide like ozempic or munjaro. I wouldn't suggest this if you care about keeping the weight off or your long-term health.

Get measurements for the size you are now. It’s easier for the seamstress to make a dress smaller than to make it bigger because you gained weight or didn’t lose any as planned.


40 lbs in 6 months is drastic. Talk to your doctor first.
