Desperate to lose weight?

[Anonymous]

I am honestly SO desperate to lose weight. I am a girl in her 20's and weigh about 150 but I want to get down to at least 130, if not 120 or 115. But I have seriously tried dieting and exercise for so long; I go to the gym for a substantial amount of time almost every day and I have limited my eating and been eating much healthier, but I have not lost a single pound; I'm just maintaining my same weight. It is so hard for me to even do the dieting and working out I already do, I dont think I could increase this at all. I am willing to try pills or anything else that ACTUALLY WORKS. Has anyone tried any weight-loss supplement or anything like that that has actually showed extreme results? I am so desperate I want to lose weight more than anything in the world.

You don't need some magic pill. Get a small notebook journal and keep track of your calories. You may think you are doing a good job eating healthy but if you don't know how many calories are going in. Go buy a shit ton of Lean Cuisines, get a food scale to weigh certain things like fish that you cook at home. Know how many calories are in things like apples (80k) and bananas (100k) by some sweet and healthy treats like yogurt. Don't over do it though on the dieting. It's okay to have a piece of pizza or something every now and again just record the calories and maybe bust your ass a little harder the next day.

Find a form of cardio you like and can stick with. If you don't like running try spin class but in general take classes because they hold you accountable. Do strength training classes at least twice a week because muscle burns lots of calories. Cardio needs to be at least medium effort for 40 minutes a day.

But most importantly I would say take action but get rid of the sense of urgency. The faster the weight comes off the easier it is to pack it back on. It's about making lifestyle changes. Start by increasing exercise and cutting small things out like fast food and have a cheat day. Once you get comfortable with that maybe then start the food diary. Aim for 1600 a day.

I personally went from 150lbs to 130lbs and currently working towards 120. If you would like, private message me you current daily food, portions and workouts and I can see if there's any suggestions I can make.

A few things could be happening. Often times when people diet they are undernourished so the bodies starvation responses kicks in and more fat is stored. So be sure to be eating nutrient dense foods and supplement with vitamins and minerals.

Often times excess fat around the belly and hips is because of toxicity and ones body not "knowing what to do" with it. For this switch away from processed foods and GMOs. Switch to organic foods. Cilantro and basil can help clean out toxins. CLA and African Mango can help retrain your body.

Also boost your metabolism. Do weight lifting, eat foods with hot peppers. EGCG can also help out a little. If you get fatty food cravings, get more omega 3s and healthy oils such as coconut oil. Stay away from high omega 6 vegetable oils!

While no single pill will work, they do have their place in an overall plan.

Weight is just a number that doesn't tell us ANYTHING without knowing your height as well.

You would be probably be just fine 135-140 lbs and just like watching numbers drop. Same reason why MMORPGs are addictive, people like seeing numbers raise.

Don't take diet pills. They're not required to list their ingredients and rarely work. Have you talked to your doctor or maybe someone at a gym about what you can try next?
