Weight loss

There are calculators online you can use to do this, but what you really need to do is figure out what your maintenance calories are. This is what you need to eat in order to stay the same. Once you have that figured out you can adjust your calories accordingly. If you're in a deficit, you will lose weight. I'm not sure what you've changed about your diet so far, but if you cut out carbs the weight loss you've experienced is most likely water weight. As others have said, it's best to weigh and log your meals so you know exactly what you're consuming. I would also recommend adding in some extra activity in the form of strength training. The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn on a daily basis and you will look nice and toned (not bulky) 😊

Oh olay definitely! Thank you.

View Quoted Comment Ahh okay. I did cut carbs so that is probably why I've only lost a little bit of weight thank you.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for your advice and your kindness.

View Quoted Comment Wow thank you for telling me this. I thought it was just as simple as counting calories and burning them I didn't take into account the amount of calories I needed to eat and try to burn in order for something to happen.

View Quoted Comment Yes thank you. I think I have to remember eating a treat once in a while won't kill me.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much. I'm going to get a gym membership and do some strength training because I've mostly been doing cardio so I think you may be on to something lol

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much! Honestly I try to ignore it that's just how it is in old fashioned Mexican/Asain households.

View Quoted Comment I've heard of optavia and congrats on your fat transfer having one is one of my many goals lol especially to my butt.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much, I will look into intermittent fasting but you really just made me happy right now. After waking up to all this positive feedback I feel amazing. Thank you!

You can even use plain cheerioes and mix it wiht half a scoop of protein powder. Get moving...diet is HUGE but working out 5-6 days a week is also needed for results. Mix it up with cardio and strength training. Consistency is key. Best of luck.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much will do.

I would recommend not going cold turkey on anything as you might cave in later. For example, give up all sweets and sugars - you might gorge later down the road. You have to increase activity now that your body is trying to settle in on that baseline after you lost the 10lbs. My best friend went vegetarian and lost 30 lbs within the year and has kept it off and feels great. I’m vegan, but don’t recommend off the bat lol but maybe eventually! I haven’t fluctuated more than a pound or two in the last couple of years.
Best wishes and you got this!! 🤍

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I've been thinking about slowly working up to vegetarion by doing a pescatarian lifestyle and later maybe vegan.

I am in the same boat. While my family or his don't say anything about my weight, my fiancé and his family are all very fit. I don't want go overboard with the craziness of weight loss but I want certain body parts to look better, namely my stomach and arms. I understand the struggle. Drinking a lot of water is the key to that. Try drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day, but a gallon could help a lot too. Also give yourself one day a week to cheat otherwise your body wont see any changes. A few small workouts a weeks will help too. Cardio, but you should only need about 20 minutes. As for the food again, restrictions on sugar is my biggest problem. But that is what is needed. I hope you get to where you need and have the most wonderful wedding!!!

View Quoted Comment Yeah, you need to burn more than you take in to create a calorie deficit, which then leads to weight loss. We burn a certain number of calories from just existing, and then exercise boosts that.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much and you got this ☺💪
