Needing help getting on track and motivation

Caylie, on December 21, 2021 at 11:00 AM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 6
Hey y'all,
I'm about 8 months out of getting married and I am not where I am at in terms off my weight and body shape. Right now I am 178 pounds and wanting to get down to about 150. I do not want to lose the weight too fast but gradually while also building muscle. What are some ways to help me stay on track? Thank you in advance!

    Get a trainer, a fitness buddy, or a group to help motivate you when you’re not feeling like going into the gym. Eat fewer calories than you burn, but make sure you’re still eating plenty of protein and complex carbs.

    Honestly it might be worth investing in a diet plan like weight watchers or Jenny Craig. Weight watchers is more sustainable long term but Jenny Craig is very very easy- they tell you what to eat and when. Wedding planning is hard and stressful which for me often leads to making poor decisions food wise. I was 163 and wanted to lose 10-15lbs for my wedding and recognized that my food options were where I was failing. Other options are using MyFitnessPal which really helps you account for calories and exercise. And Peloton is great for workouts, even without a bike. They have cardio, barre, free running, strength training. And it’s only $13/month if you don’t have a bike or tread. Consistency is key 20-30 minutes a day. You can do it!!

    Find a nutritionist that can help you develop a plan to lose it safely. I’m down 12 pounds in 2 months, and all I’ve done is change what I eat (no processed foods, all “healthy” food).

    Eat healthy food (nothing processed), drink lots of water each day and move your body. Those changes alone if you don’t already do these things will make a difference.

    Hey!! My fiancée is in the same boat. She stated intermittent fasting first for about a week or 2 (you only eat between an 8-10 hr window every day) and she started working back out 2 days ago. If and when you do begin working out, focus on weight lifting and not so much cardio. You’ll tone and manage versus drop pounds too fast. It’s not much too it but the hardest part is doing it. I need to workout just for health and mental reasons as well 😪 we have 8 months til the i do day too 🙂 there’s still plenty time you got this 💪🏽

    Thats where I was at!! I have lost almost 20 lbs now. You don't have to do super strict dieting, that doesn't work. I use apps like Noom and myfitnesspal. Take the stairs everywhere you go, park the car far away in the parking lot, try to walk on the treadmill 2-3xs a week. You can do it!!! Watch those calories without witholding food that you crave, otherwise you will binge.
