How I Lost 15lbs of fat
Yes. 15lbs of fat and counting. I didn’t want to burn myself out like all the times before so I decided to do 1-2 things at a time and ace them before adding more goals.
The two things I did consistently to get here are:
1. Walking. Yep. Literally just walking. I get 10k steps a day minimum and aim for 12-15k. My PCP said do not walk less than 6k a day as that would be technically sedentary.
2. A caloric deficit. It *sounds* straight forwards (&it is), but I aim for a 3500 calorie deficit across the week instead of focusing solely on 500 calorie deficits per day. It takes the pressure off if I go over one day and makes it more sustainable.

Losing weight can be a tough journey, but understanding the basics makes it easier. Walking is an excellent form of exercise that not only burns calories but also improves overall health and mood. Aim for at least 10,000 steps daily, as this helps in weight management and promotes cardiovascular health. Additionally, a caloric deficit—burning more calories than you consume—is crucial for weight loss. By targeting a weekly deficit of 3500 calories, you can maintain flexibility in your eating habits, which encourages sustainability. Focus on whole foods, lean proteins, and regular hydration to support your body during weight loss. For those just starting, consider tracking your daily activity and food intake to stay accountable. Engage with online communities or forums like #weighlossdiaries or #weightlossforbeginners to find support and share your progress. Remember, each small step contributes to your overall goal. Celebrate your achievements and keep pushing towards your desired body transformation!
