I’ve been fat since I was in middle school. Today I decided I’m going to lose twenty pounds by February…150 to 130 lbs. Any tips, advice, harsh truths?

Don’t eat when you want/ are bored and try to only eat alive food no matter what and eating ice cream and cookies is ok sometimes you just can’t not eat bc you’ll get sick 😘 you got this

cut off sugar and try to not eat so late at night

Don’t cut one food group, the 80-20 split for healthy foods & junk is accurate. Just be patient & drink water & get active

Try not to go below eating ~750-1000 calories a day if you’re doing calorie tracking for a deficit, your body does in fact need a certain amount of new nutrients to stay healthy and fully functional. If you want to track your weight while you do so, measure once or twice a day under similar conditions and don’t focus on the actual number you see, but trends in the numbers over time. Your body weight constantly fluctuates depending on how much food and water is in your body at the time

I’m trying intermittent fasting and only eating from 11am to 4pm which just means breakfast and dinner. The hardest part is not snacking, I love chips and candy

yeah make sure what you’re doing is sustainable tho because the first time I lost weight I just did it as fast as possible and then gained it all back a couple months later

You will also most likely see better results if you are able to do exercise as well, even light exercises will help as long as you get yourself moving. You can safely lose 1-2lbs of fat a week, I’d recommend aiming for 1.5lbs at most (3500 calories = 1lb of fat). Losing 20lbs in 2 months is a little more than I’d recommend, but if you can make good lifestyle changes you will lose as much as you plan for, but would take slightly longer at about 3.5 months

I’m aiming for 1,300 calories a day along with walking 8,000 steps a day. I do “pilates” at home a few days a week, just following videos on YouTube. I don’t have a gym membership and I’m kind of intimidated because I’ve never been to a gym or used the equipment before

That sounds like a good plan that works for you! Any movement is better than none, but if you do want to explore more exercises, modified calisthenics is a good starter towards weightlifting
