What it really looks like to lose weight

I’ve never used this app before, but I really want to share my achievements this past year. I also want to be 100% honest when doing it. I’m starting on this app as it seems it may reach more people!

You’ve heard that it isn’t linear, sure. But truly: this is what realistic, healthy, controlled weight loss is and how long it’s been taking me. I still have about 4 lbs to lose, and I am not feeling rushed in any way!

If you have any questions at all please let me know 😊

... Read moreWhen it comes to weight loss, understanding that the journey isn't linear is crucial. The focus should not solely be on the numbers on the scale but rather on the overall lifestyle changes and healthy habits being formed. Many experience fluctuations in their weight, which can be influenced by various factors such as diet, exercise, and even emotional wellbeing. It's important to celebrate small victories along the way, like maintaining a healthy routine or fitting into that favorite pair of jeans. Additionally, tracking progress, whether through weekly check-ins or keeping a weight journal, can provide extra motivation and accountability. Weight loss also involves embracing vulnerability and sharing experiences with others, fostering a supportive community where struggles can be discussed openly. Remember, regardless of where you are on your weight loss journey, it's essential to focus on balanced nutrition, staying active, and most importantly, being kind to yourself throughout the process.

A person in pink leggings and a white top stands in a gym, looking down at their midsection. Overlay text asks, "Let's Talk Cardio Or Weights? Which is better for weight loss?" and lists options like Weights, Treadmill, Jump rope, Elliptical, and More.
Text discusses calorie burn differences between cardio and weight training, noting that cardio burns more calories per session, while weight training boosts metabolism and offers a significant post-workout calorie burn for up to 38 hours.
Text explains that HIIT burns 25-30% more calories than other exercises and that combining cardio with weights is most effective for weight, fat loss, and muscle gain, as weight training alone is not as effective.
