I want to quit?

[Anonymous]

I'm on month number 2 on my weight loss journey and I don't notice a difference in my size/appearance/clothing.. I'm getting discouraged.. I've noticed that my exercise tolerance is increasing though because... I couldn't do a wall sit for long.. Now I'm wall sitting for 45 seconds to a minute :) but as far as look I don't notice anything.. also its hard for me to eat clean everyday when you have no job and still live with your parents so they fix 90% of the meals. I feel like I'm waisting my time doing something wrong

Unless you are doing crazy tough workouts every single day it will take a while to notice a change. Don’t beat yourself up about it if you eat a little extra now and then. It is a process not an overnight change. Cutting back on portion sizes at meals can make a massive difference. If you are used to snacking try chewing gum. It also helps to drink a bunch of water before a meal so you fill up faster. If you want to keep track of your weight don’t check it any more frequently than once a week, but that can also be a good way to see your progress. If you are looking primarily to lose weight you may want to focus more on cardio than building up muscle for a while.

OK thanks I try to mix it up cardio, strength training, etc

[SmoMan]

Do you mind if I ask what kind of exercise you are doing?

[Asker]

30-1hour cardio omedays.. strength training 30 minutes-1hour and occasionally yoga and walking for 20 minutes 4-5 days a week I workout with FitnessBlenfder

Sounds like a pretty good start. Personally I love hiking, if that is an option where you are you may want to try it. you can be out for a few hours, get a full body workout and have a lot of fun doing it.

Thanku

Wall sits don't burn calories really. It's an isometric exercise. It develops functional strength and muscular endurance yes but it does nothing for calorie burning.

[Asker]

I don't just do sits

"also its hard for me to eat clean everyday when you have no job and still live with your parents so they fix 90% of the meals"

is an excuse.

fi you want to lose weight, get your parents on board.

[Asker]

Lol I've tried they say "if you want healthier foods buy it we aren't on a diet.. you are!! ' I'm trying so hard to get a job so I can purchase my own things ! Thanks for answering

[orphan]

also, losing weight by just wall sitting? you can't be serious?

what's your height, weight, and target weight?

[Asker]

Lol I'm not just wall sitting.. I do 1 hour of cardio also I do strength training about 4-5 times a week sometimes I can only do 30 mi utes of cardio too

[orphan]

height weight and goal weight/pant size?

[Asker]

I'm 5"4 about 290 pants size=24

[orphan]

ok. in your scenario, diet is paramount. working out, will accelerate the process once you're eating right. yes that includes calorie counting, and a max 50g non fiber carbs a day.

it's not easy.

also, getting your parents on board can be tough, when you're basically eating what they want to eat. it might be necessary to look for support elsewhere.

[Asker]

Its not.. but thank you

[Asker]

Yeah I'll just have to say no and have willpower to what they're eating! I know I can do it 😊

[orphan]

handle that =D

Good things take time and effort. Don't give up.

[Asker]

I won't, thankyou
