Trouble Losing Weight

Wow, that's so rude! I would never dream of asking or assuming anyone was pregnant. I'm not much of a "working out" person at all, as I'll admit I really just hate exercising. However, I am wanting to lose about 10 lbs before my wedding as well, and I find the best way to do this is to cut out snacking, always eat breakfast, and limit carbs. I've tried to limit carbs and alcohol, but that just makes me miserable, lol. Afterall, a girls gotta live a little!

I don't feel like she meant it rudely, but I cant help but feel self conscious after that! Haha I love carbs. I'll watch how much I take in! Thanks Elise!

Go Keto... it's an amazing LIFESTYLE not a diet. You'll be amazed at how you feel and look. I've been for 2 years and dont miss processed food or crap food. My key advice, after your research (on line and there are tons of great apps) start on a Friday, you'll more than likely end up with keto flu for a day or two. Dont give in, it goes away. Drink lots of water, it helps

View Quoted Comment Liz,
What's the Keto flu?? I'll definitely look into the lifestyle!

Second the keto lifestyle, I lost 50 pounds in four months and felt amazing.

View Quoted Comment That's amazing! Congratulations!!

I’m in your boat. I keep putting off starting a diet. I thought my dress not fitting would’ve helped...

View Quoted Comment I realized that I've only got 3 months until I should start going to dress fittings. That's the kick in the rear that I needed!

I’ve never been able to diet, although FH has gotten me to make small substitutions lately, like corn chips as a snack. He’s done great losing weight with these small things plus running 3x a week, and cutting soda completely. I’ve always done better with more structured exercise like dance or yoga. I swear by taking classes to lose weight or get in shape

If you are truly eating that few calories, you will lose weight slowly but surely. Just make sure you are actually measuring your food and not just estimating.

Hey! I was having the SAME problem and doing the same thing for the first 3 months of the year. My fiancé finally told me about trying carb cycling and I’ve dropped about 6 lbs in the last month since starting. Maybe try looking into that?

View Quoted Comment I have never heard about that! I'll look into it!

View Quoted Comment I just recently cut out soda. Hopefully that will help!

View Quoted Comment I hope so! I'm using My Fitness Pal to track my food and drinks.

View Quoted Comment Saaaaaaaame

I'm getting married in Sept and knew I had to do something...I only drink water...and put myself on a 1000 calorie diet....I'm doing Shakeology and love it....lots and lots of green foods and cut out breads.....I've lost 30 pounds just eating better...

Definitely agree with Shakeology! It’s amazing for weight loss. I would try to up your workouts a little too- do a bit more than “moderately”. 21 day fix is a great place to start to get you on track with fitness and nutrition!

View Quoted Comment That's fantastic! Do you feel hungry all the time??

If you are working out a lot you may not be eating enough food. 1200 calories isn't a lot of food, even for trying to lose weight. Take how much you weigh and multiple it by 15 to see how many calories you should be eating. Then you only want to cut 20% of that. Or you will "starve" your body and it won't lose weight as effectively.
Now keto is a whole other thing. My FH list 15 pounds in less than a month on it. I just started yesterday and I am going strong. We are super strict though, no cheese, dairy, sugars and less than 10 carbs a day. I am hoping to lose 30 pounds by the end of June. Fingers crossed

View Quoted Comment Wow! He has found great success with Keto! By everyone's responses it seems like an amazing option. I'm not working out like crazy but using your calculation I wouldn't be eating enough. Do you follow anything on Pinterest for recipe inspiration?
