Weight Loss
 

Since there's no Fitness sections I'll put it here.

Hi. I'm starting a weight loss journey this week. My goal is to lose 15 pounds cause I'm overweight asf my doctor says. I'm currently 5'3 feet tall, and I weigh 130 pounds. My BMI is 23.
I've lost two pounds so far this week, by cutting down on calories (I have a bad binging problem) and speed walking ever day for 30-45 minutes. I have an app called Lose It! That's helping me track exercise and calories.

Basically, what I'm asking you Fitness gurus, is am I on the right track for weight loss??

My goal is not to beef up right now, but to simply lose weight.

I have the exact opposite problem.
I get too lazy to eat or cook. Like I don't have any motivation at all, I mean... I could be on the internet or drawing or whatever, ykno. But my doc said I'm underweight and my mom gets mad at me for not eating enough.

If you have any advice on how to gain weight, that'd be great, or how to like "get hungry". The only time I get hyped for food is for a sour bowl of salad with a lot of lemon juice and it's not helping me at all.
I can't really suggest you much besides getting lazy and sleeping whenever you can... sry.

130 lbs isn't that bad.

HAHAH FATTY!

I'm aware, thanks.

i will take any extra weight any of u have

My doc says it's to much for my height, she wants me to lose weight sooo

how old are you? how many calories are you taking in per day? do you have a breakdown of protein/carbs/fat?

smoke weed b hungry

I'm 13, about 768 a day, and idk what that is, I'm new to fitness and health and stuff.

That is insanely low, especially if you are excercising. Most "cuts" sit around 1000-1200. So unless your doctor recommended that number I'd recommend bumping it up a bit. Which I know may seem weird, but if you want to keep that weight from coming back, this will be a lifestyle.

Because of a change in lifestyle you are gonna shed some weight quickly at the start, it will slow down after you get used to this, don't let that discourage you. 0.5 lb a week would be a good rate to lose weight.

protein/carbs/fat are the other three big macronutrients, "macros", that your body takes in. Crono is asking if you are also recording those as well, which you definitely should be.


I'm not gonna say I know more than your doctor, but you are probably "okay" weight wise. I'm not saying don't take this seriously, or don't worry about your body; but don't rush losing weight, its something that happens in a very predictable manner if you know what you are doing, and since you are thinking about this at such a young age you are off to a phenomenal start.

I'm eating all the calories I burn, so 768 is my baseline. If I burn 150 calories I'll eat it all back. But I'll bump it up to about 1k.

I'll try to not let it get to me, once I start losing weight slower!

I'll start recording those as well!!
Thank you for replying, it means a lot <3

Same problem man, you just gotta eat whether you feel like it or not.

Tips:

• Spread your meals out through the day, its very hard to get all your macros in if you missed breakfast and didn't have a large lunch. Full 3 meals everyday as a minimum.
• Make food in bulk. If cooking is your problem do a weeks worth of it one night. Makes it really easy.
• Eat tastier food.You will eat a lot more when you are enjoying yourself.

i run everyday 9-10pm, except on rainy, snowy days etc
on excused days, i tried to do gym exercise, but im just never motivated.
so i purchased 'just dance now' song pack. hopefully this helps better.

But it's haaaaard moooooooooooom.

I had like these shake things I would drink after meals. You could try something like that Vici.
