    Well joining this app is a great step towards your goal. It's a really great community.

    It's hard to change your diet so maybe instead of restricting yourself completely you can eat less of what you are going to eat. Try drinking water before eating. It helps fill you up faster. Have you joined a gym? For me getting out of the house to workout helps.

    also anyone feel free to add me! I'm really loving weight training but hate cardio with a passion, so need a kick in the butt for that!

    What weight training do you do? Do you use free weights or machines? You are obviously on the right track!

    I'm 5'3 and weigh about 175 right now. My goal is to lose between 40 and 50 pounds. I want to get to a place where I feel energetic and healthy. My main areas of focus right now are cardio (especially dance, I wish there were more places around here that held lessons ) and yoga. Anyway, if anyone wants to add me I'd be thrilled :). I feel like I'm ready to get really motivated and help others do the same.

    In order to lose weight, you have to be on a caloric deficit. Also watch your carbs. If you do not plan to train that day, don't over exceed your carb intake. With this app, don't count your workout into your daily plan. It will add calories to your goal for today. Just remember you have to be on a caloric deficit.

If you need help or need advice on macros, add me or find me on IG @jtaesthetics

    Yes calorie deficit is the "magic" that makes weight loss possible. It forces the body to use fat stores for energy causing weight loss. For most people on here it's better to just say "in order to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you consume instead of saying you have to be on a calorie deficit. Please keep your help and advice within the app. This is what this app is for.

    I dropped weight to 190lbs but then got back up to 210lbs. At first, I was discouraged by this, however I am still rocking at being able to run 5 miles with ease and I work out 5 days a week. The reason why my weight climbed was due to my eating. But I hope to get down to 200lbs in about 2 months. We shall see. Good luck to you and on your goals.

    That's amazing that you are able to run 5 miles! Hope you don't get discouraged by the weight. Keep going and hope you find a good routine when it comes to eating healthy. Good luck to you as well and keep rocking!
