Any tips for losing weight? I feel super hungry: I haven’t been exercising as much so I think that may be the culprit. I only want to lose about 5/10 lbs (I’m 138 rn)

1) What’s the reason you want to lose weight? Because depending on that, there is different things you can do. 2) Calorie deficit. No matter what you choose to do, nothing will happen without the deficit. And, if you move more, your maintenance calories you used to eat become your deficit. 3) Did you want to replace it with muscle? If so, lifting weights and NOT STOPPING. You have to keep going up in weight. The soreness is your muscle fibers breaking and rebuilding themselves stronger.

4) Just want to lose the fat? Cardio and deficit. Ik it’s plain but yeah. 5) Find something that fits in your life and don’t make it a chore, make it a choice. I hated working out until I made it my own.

It’s a combo. I wanna lose weight but also just be healthier. And do more weights. Not that I look bad but it doesn’t seem the healthiest

The answer to question 1 is extremely important. How tall are you, did you play sports, can you eat or do you struggle? All things to consider

When you look in the mirror do you see skinny fat or fat

Well, I say first, start popping into the gym every now and then. Make sure you have 1-2 hrs to spare. See what weights feel best and tbh, people watch. Look at peoples form, ask what their exercise does for them and such. Learn as much as you can before you commit. Then, time for the kitchen part. Find your maintenance calories and subtract about 200-400 calories from that. NEVER go lower than 1200 though, your body can’t survive that.

Eat the foods you like, don’t force it. If you don’t like greek yogurt (I HATE it) don’t eat it. If you don’t like an exercise, don’t do it. I don’t remember the last time I barbell squat, it’s just not something I enjoy.

If you are going to put on muscle, you can’t look at the scale too much. Muscle weighs more. Yes you can look just to make sure you are on track, but if you lost 5 and gained 3, that 5 is fat and that 3 is probably muscle.

Just challenge yourself to track everything that goes in your mouth for a week and drink plenty and plenty of water to go with it. Learn the idea of calories and nutrition
