I’m trying my hardest to lose weight but it won’t budge, any tips would be much appreciated! Edit: I’m getting some terrible advice, just to clarify: I’m counting calories and exercising. I’m always in a calorie deficit but I’m not dropping the weight

Weight loss is about calorie deficit. Count calories both in and out. Maintain a rounded diet.

Count calories, dont cut out too much too soon, I lost weight while still enjoying cheese, booze, and pasta. Portions, my friend
Samson3194
Counting calories and just any kind of movement is the best way to start

Since you're consistently watching what you eat and how you eat as well as exercising regularly with no results you should see a doctor.

Water is your drink, all the veggies, meats are fine but try for low fat. Avoid too much fruit, but not entirely. Keep as active as you can.

Don't just diet. Make a lifestyle change.

Artificial non-caloric sweeteners trigger an insulin response similar to real sweeteners; insulin tells your body to hold onto proteins,

Y'all are harsh. Fix your diet first. That's the hard part, but also the most important.

If you're willing to spend 20 bucks a month, I totally recommend the SWEAT app. Specifically designed for women, with full meal plans 1/3

And workout plans for women, starting from not having any exercise at all. I've been following it for a few months and have lost 2/3

Whats working for me is finding an easy nutrition plan to follow and working out a bit. Lost 30 pounds so far. For example 1/

Most of my breakfast is just 3or 4 eggs with veggies (onions, spinach, mushrooms and peppers with cheese) and a small thing of yogurt. 2/

lunch would be something i preped but i get to eat from home for lunchtime. Chicken, broccoli, and some peas. 3/

For dinner i snack on some protein or make protein shake then go workout. I drink lots of water. 4/

I workout only 30 min or so each day. Alternates between cardio, High intensity workouts, and lifting weights.

Also find stuff that works for you. Swimming, tennis, or other activities are great fillers for workout and have fun.

Every time you go to eat drink a big glass of water then wait 10 minutes. You won’t eat as much loss weight slow but works. 1/2

Caffeine is a life saver for fasting. One black coffee in the morning is an easy substitute for breakfast.

After a week when you eat your stomach will have shrunk a bit and you get full sooner. Keep doing it get smaller. Side effect peeing

Not skinny 5 foot 5 inches 215 pounds down to 185 pounds took a long time. It’s more about changing a habit of over eating. Took 2 years
sweetandsaltymemes
Agreed! Cut portions in half. Sucked for 4 months but lost 15 lbs over the next 4. Appetite is more manageable. Eating less from boredom.

@op, calories in must be less than calories out.

Weights/strength training. Muscle burns calories even when you’re not at the gym. Also 80% of weight loss happens in the kitchen
vsmack187
This is largely bunk. It's like single-digit calories per pound of muscle added.
DefinitelyNotSatan
What? How you eat is probably the biggest factor in whether you lose weight...
vsmack187
Sorry, I meant what's bunk is "adding muscle makes you burn more calories!"
vsmack187
That's objectively true, but each pound of muscle uses like 5-10 calories per day.
SpringToMyWinter
If you add 5lbs of muscle that’s 25-10 calories more than burning before. Plus being stronger, from a functional standpoint, is still good

Go get your thyroid checked. If you’re dieting and exercising and still gaining weight, it might be a thyroid issue. Very common

Dear @OP, I would like to apologize to you for the train wreck of a comments section.

I would also like to apologize for the human sewage that thinks an inappropriate response is needed to an honest and open question.../1

And the only source of material is the Mayo Clinic. WebMD sucks.

Have you talked with a doctor @op? It could be a thyroid issue amongst other things.

How long have you been trying? If you're struggling even with good changes, you may want to speak with your doc about thyroid issues

CrazyCatLad
I suggest to LEGIT count calories ... either manually enter onto a note app in your phone or exercise app. Samsung Health app >>
CrazyCatLad
>> is great for that. Stay below 1500ish per day while exercising to get the calorie deficit going. I did this for vacation >>

Buy a food scale, humans are terrible at estimating portion size, start a walk-run plan and do some weights. Food is most important though.

Totally this. My starving inner child brain estimates a fuckzillion calories is the optimal amount of pasta unless I actually check

Holy fuck, this comment section is a nightmare.
Krogs322
How is it a nightmare? All I'm seeing is "measure your food to make sure you dont overeat", "calories in calories out" and "less meat/dairy"
Krogs322
Like, they're RIGHT.
GoliathSkittles
Just ignoring all the horn-bags requesting pics then?
Krogs322
I saw a few along the lines of "before/after pics", but that's common on the weight loss subreddits I occasionally browse.

Talking about boobs on the internet is going to do that.

Calorie count with deficit (most apps will show you how much of you put in current & goal weight) along with intermittent fasting and gym.

Just list 18 lbs this way. Truly works
TheresnoDanaonlyZuul
This used to work for me, it doesn’t anymore
DrDoALittleMoreThanBareMinimum
As metabolism changes you have to increase exercise but dont hurt yourself either start slow and workup. Swimming is a real good one.
BeautyChaos
Even though I love fasting, it’s not for everyone and listen to your body when you do it.
IHateYouMyselfAndEveryone
There is no way to gain weight while your body is in deficit. If you are still putting on weight, drop calories or increase exercise.
imcrimson
The Samsung Health app is full of shit though. Meals I entered was definitely more calorie-dense than suggested, or the portions are off.
GuardsmanMiku
afaik exercise is more effective than dieting. I think you wanna get your heart going and breathing heavily, but dont go too hard
Kbantar
I can either burn 500 Calories by walking nearly 5 miles or just not eat a sandwich.

Just remember, a calorie is not a calorie. Avoid refined added sugar and refined fiber deficient grain. Research the latest on nutrition
cjdunham
I lost weight counting calories and eating shit. What you should do is choose healthier food because its lower in calories and more filling

Apple w/ Peanutbutter and 20 oz Coca Cola BOTH have 240 calories. I'm just saying calorie counting ALONE won't do shit

barf1189
Say everyday you fill your last 240 calories of the day with coke instead of an apple with peanut butter. You'll get fatter if u do that
DrDoALittleMoreThanBareMinimum
If none these work and you have tiredness/constipation/always cold/ unexplained weight gain hit up the doc for thyroid check up or diet plan
CommunismIsJustARedHerring
It could also be your medication.
DrDoALittleMoreThanBareMinimum
Also if you're sexual active do the pee stick baby check especially if you missed periods (obvs).
Jpeck3
Also could be copd, also get a lot of quality sleep. But start with getting the right amount of quality food

*Also depression. They're all symptoms of hypothyroidism.
MapleDragoon
I just got diagnosed with Hypothyroidism last Saturday. Not sure what I'm supposed to do now.. besides iodize my salt. Need weight loss tips
DrDoALittleMoreThanBareMinimum
If they didnt suggest a medical regime then youre probably borderline so calorie count, intermittent and exercise you have to tweak it 4 you
MapleDragoon
Thank you. It was mostly them say increase my iodine intake (I live in Aus so not everything is iodized)
