How to lose weight?

View Quoted Comment O yes it's really hard.

Please don't take pills. They have terrible side affects that could truly affect your health!

You have plenty of time. 26lbs in 12 months is only 2lbs per month. That is very doable! There are so many options WW, Jenny Craig, South Beach, Noom, My Fitness Pal.

What are you looking for in a diet? Easy to follow, support, cheap, fast loss, long term loss.

Pills don't work 80 % diet 2% exercise at most 4 days a week for exercise

Spin class and Barre Class helped me lose weight big time

Have you tried looking into Intermittent Fasting? I LOVE it! Very sustainable, easy to do once you adjust to it. Pick up a copy of "The Obesity Code" by Dr Jason Fung. That book changed my life! I actually met my fiance right after I'd done a 5 day extended fast, and I'm almost certain the autophagy process and drinking a lot of water was giving me a glowing complexion!

Counting calories, measuring food are the best bet. Get an app to help you like. Lose It or MFP.

3500 calories = 1 lb. so in order to lose 1 lb a week, reduce your intake by 3500 or 7000 for 2 lbs.

Additionally, add exercise which will further help your calorie defy.

No pills and 12 months is a very long time to lose 26lbs. I do protein shakes for breakfast/lunch eat healthier dinner and healthy snacks. I drink 100 oz of water. I walk every hour at work, and I recently started swimming 3 days a week. down 37lbs in 6 months. You can do it.

FYI I use myfitnesspal as the app.

Imo, The Best Healthy Way To Lose Weight Is To Create A Calorie Deficit.
I've Been Eating Around 1300 A Day Since October 17th. I Started Off Using NOOM. IT WORKS. When I First
Started, I Was At 1800 Calories And Slowly Lowered It As I Got Used To
It. Meal Replacements, Keto, Pills, Etc. Aren't Sustainable If You Would Like
To Lose The Weight And Keep It Off Long Term. I've Lost 35 Pounds With
15 Left To Go To Hit My Goal Weight. I'm Not Starving At All Either.
Just My Experience, Hope It Helps.

The only sustainable way is by making changes that you can keep up with. Don't do any fad diets or use any pills.

Losing weight is only possible by taking in fewer calories than you are burning.

I workout 3-4 times per week and eat healthy most of the time. I have no "off limits" foods because if I tell myself "no ice cream, cheeseburgers, tacos, etc" I will end up eating way more of them when I finally give in.

Cutting out soda worked well for me because it wasn't something I felt the need to drink.

I meal prep my lunches, snacks, and dinners to avoid temptation to go out to eat, but still allow myself to eat pizza, tacos, etc every once in a while. The key to that is eating those "unhealthy" foods in moderation on a day that you have worked out so it isn't detrimental to your progress! Making those foods at home can also make them healthier than restaurant options.

Weight loss is more of a lifestyle change than something that happens quickly. Remember, the progress will be gradual because losing 1 pound takes a 3500 calorie deficit. Don't get discouraged because that deficit takes time to achieve! And make sure you calculate your BMR to be sure you are giving your body the essential calorie intake it needs to function. You can look up BMR calculators online to give you a general idea of how many calories you should be eating in a day.

Pills NOOOOOOO way why not download a app to help you track your calories like myfitness pal and cut calories and carbs. drink lots of water and walk the stress away!

Please please please cherish your body and don't put the poison of pills in them! There is no "need" to loose a certain number unless it's a doctor telling you so! Weigh-ins are so toxic!! I know from personal experience and from people close to me that switching to a plant based diet full of grains, beans, fruits, veggies, and nuts really helps get to and maintain a healthy weight and combined with exercise is a great way to see results in a HEALTHY way! Best of luck!

Count calories! I've been using the Lose It app and it's been a life save, my wedding is in less than 5 months. It's completely customizable to your goals. I've been doing it for 3 weeks with light activity as well and have lost 9 pounds

Start a healthy diet and exercise more. (No sodas and less sugar)

Don't take pills! Find a good exercise and limit your food intake.
