Needing to lose between 75-80 pounds

Hi Yall,

I've been really struggling with my weight loss and my goal that I'm starting to work towards is between 75-80 pounds for a total weight loss. I know I can do this I'm changing my diet and I created an exercise plan that I'm starting tomorrow, and another goal I'm currently working on is drinking at least 6 bottles of water for a daily total of 67.6 ounces and drinking less soda. I could really use all the motivation and support I can get as I hope to reach this goal by this time next year. I look forward to all the new friends I can get as well I'm always looking for new friends to add to my fitness family.

    Have you determined the daily calorie intake to lose 1.5lbs/week? An exercise plan, drinking lots of water and drinking less soda is useless for weight loss if you are still eating at a surplus.

    Cut the sugar and processed foods! Eat lots of protein and veggies. Fruit comes in next. Dairy last.
    Increasing your water is smart because you need to keep hydrated while you're exercising and water tightens your skin as you lose weight.

    Not necessary. Macros can vary from individual to individual. The caloric deficit (not how you get there) is what matters.
