How i lost over 30lbs

when i first started i completly quite eating all food and would only drink water this was not the right thing because after a day or 2 of not eating i would binge eat so much that i felt disgusted with my self. i started at 186.4 and told my self that my goal was to get to 180 so i started going to the gym and doing 30 minutes on the stair stepper and 30 min on the tredmil. my goal was to burn calories not gain muscle so i did not do any weight trainig. it took me about a week and a half to get to 180. i limited myself to 1000 calories a day and no soda and no junk such as chips candy any thing like that was a no. after getting consiatent w going to the gym it was easier for me to start doing home workout so i started doing youtube home workouts and they have helped so much i do struggle w eating food because i hate seeing my weight go up on the scale so there are some days where i eat very little or do not eat at all but i tryy best rn im at 157.4 and im proud of how far ive come. most important is to have the right mindset give your self small goals that you know u can achieve and eventually u will reach ur main goal. xoxo❣️#weightlosstipsandtricks #yourbeautiful #jesusloves

... Read moreEmbarking on a weight loss journey can be both challenging and rewarding. If you’re interested in shedding pounds like I did, it’s crucial to understand that quick fixes don’t work in the long run. Begin by setting realistic goals instead of drastic changes, and focus on a balanced diet. Many find themselves in a common trap: drastically cutting calories can lead to binge eating and frustration. Instead, aim for a sustainable calorie deficit combined with regular physical exercise, even if it’s just 30 minutes daily on the treadmill or stair stepper. Incorporating home workouts can also provide flexibility and convenience, ensuring you stay active every day. Keep in mind that weight loss is not only about the scale; mental health plays a significant role. Celebrate small victories and maintain a positive mindset. Finding supportive communities or forums can provide motivation. Persistent effort and consistency are the keys to success. Remember, every small step counts on this journey!
