Basically I’m eating a daily goal of 1400 cals to lose weight. I’m 18, girl, weigh 60kg and my goal is 55kg. Every Friday but parents bring treats and stuff. We have family time every Friday. They bring all those nice foods and that tempts me. Idk what to do.

    I have similar weight goals. I started off at 60 kg, currently at 56.5 kg, and trying to gt to 55kg.

    Your daily goal is an average daily goal, meaning you can have less one day and more another day. If you increase your calorie goal to 1800 just for the Friday that your parents bring treats, you'll need to lower the rest of the week to 1350 calories..... or you can just eat less of what your parents bring to stay within the 1400 cals.

    You just say not for me thanks.

    Food you like will always be everywhere. You have to learn to control the amount of it you eat.

    Eating nice treats within your calories is fine, don't think you have to not eat the things you like

    With 10 lbs to lose, you should really be set to lose 0.5lbs per week, 0.5kg per week at the absolute most. If you are set higher than that, change your goal, it will give you a few more calories. Also make sure you are taking exercise into consideration.

    One of the tricks to losing weight and keeping it off is finding a plan you can stick to while surrounded by real life. Try prelogging your day(s) to see if you can find ways to save a few calories at the end of the day for family time treats. You also need to learn how to either completely abstain or to have what you can and then say "No thank you". Otherwise, if you're having to avoid key parts of your life to lose weight, you're just going to gain it back once you're done with your diet and go back to living normally. It's hard to enjoy having the body you want if you need to avoid all the fun stuff in order to keep it!

    Also, don't fall into the trap of thinking certain foods "have to be" off-limits to lose weight. You personally might find there are some foods you simply can't moderate, but if you can, yummy foods that fit into your calorie goal are perfectly fine. I ate pizza while I was losing weight, but I would have 2 pieces instead of 3 and skip the garlic knots. I would still have ice cream, but I'd weigh out a portion and a half rather than sitting on the couch with the pint and a spoon. Unfortunately, you have to figure out where that line is for you personally, but once you do, you're golden!

    Thank u!!!!!! Btw I have a question. Do u think losing 0.5kg per week is safe since I dnt have a lot to lose (5kg to lose)? Also should I stick to 1300 cals to lose it faster.

    I am a strong believer in losing weight slower, I think it makes it easier to stick to the plan and easier to transition into maintenance once you get there. But I know not everyone is as patient as I am and losing slower actually makes it harder for them. If you can lose 0.5kg per week while staying above 1200 cals and you feel good (not lethargic, not weak, no lightheadedness) then it's probably "safe". Mind you, I have no medical credentials or anything like that.

    If you are losing this weight because you want to look better, I'd also suggest when you have a moment you look into focusing on recomp and strength training. Building a little muscle can actually really improve your shape without having to diet down to a very low weight. But it is a long, slow process, which I'm not sure is something you are interested in right now :lol: Just something to think about though, the info is here if you want it:

    .5 kg is around 1 lb/week. You could even go to a smaller amount for the amount you want to lose (.25 kg/week - .5 lb/week). Still, I don't see why it wouldn't be safe at .5 kg anyway. 10 weeks projected.

    Honestly, if you go a little over one day, and you are under the rest of the week, if your average is near the amount you allocated per day, it shouldn't affect you. Believe me. I run into temptation all the time. It's harder some days than others. At least you have a short distance to travel. I've already gone over 100kgs.

    Look at what maintenance is for yourself (or your goal weight). Use that as a guide for your 1 day a week if you really need to have something extra. It may add a week or 2 to your overall plan, but with such a small amount in the grand scheme of things in your plan, would it still fit in with your overall goal? The time frame is up to you. Balance from there.

    And as others said, adding some exercise would help accelerate things. (I know. Like I should talk. I'm terrible about extra exercise.)

    There's really no predictable reason why sometimes losing a few lbs is visible and sometimes it's not. Sometimes it all comes from one spot, other times a little comes off all over the place, sometimes it comes off of somewhere below the surface that doesn't affect your shape. Also, we don't always see ourselves so clearly in the mirror, and can often be our worst critic.

You personally might find there are some foods you simply can't moderate, but if you can, yummy foods that fit into your calorie goal are perfectly fine. I ate pizza while I was losing weight, but I would have 2 pieces instead of 3 and skip the garlic knots. I would still have ice cream, but I'd weigh out a portion and a half rather than sitting on the couch with the pint and a spoon. Unfortunately, you have to figure out where that line is for you personally, but once you do, you're golden!

    Thank u!!!!!! Btw I have a question. Do u think losing 0.5kg per week is safe since I dnt have a lot to lose (5kg to lose)? Also should I stick to 1300 cals to lose it faster.

    I am a strong believer in losing weight slower, I think it makes it easier to stick to the plan and easier to transition into maintenance once you get there. But I know not everyone is as patient as I am and losing slower actually makes it harder for them. If you can lose 0.5kg per week while staying above 1200 cals and you feel good (not lethargic, not weak, no lightheadedness) then it's probably "safe". Mind you, I have no medical credentials or anything like that.

    If you are losing this weight because you want to look better, I'd also suggest when you have a moment you look into focusing on recomp and strength training. Building a little muscle can actually really improve your shape without having to diet down to a very low weight. But it is a long, slow process, which I'm not sure is something you are interested in right now :lol: Just something to think about though, the info is here if you want it:

    Thank u!!!! Those were useful. Btw in the past I lost 2kg. I was 60 and went to 58kg. But I didn’t see any change in my body. It looked exact same. Now I’m back to 60 again cause I’ve been eating bad. Why do u think I didn’t see any physical changes?

    2kg is such a small amount, if it all came off in one place e.g. the stomach you may notice, but more likely you lost a little bit everywhere. Nonetheless, it's still a loss so that's great! Just keep doing what you did then since it was working. I don't really see any physical difference until I get beyond 5kg.

    I have similar weight goals. I started off at 60 kg, currently at 56.5 kg, and trying to gt to 55kg.

    Your daily goal is an average daily goal, meaning you can have less one day and more another day. If you increase your calorie goal to 1800 just for the Friday that your parents bring treats, you'll need to lower the rest of the week to 1350 calories..... or you can just eat less of what your parents bring to stay within the 1400 cals.

    Ohhh ok thank u! Btw how long did it take u to lose that weight and wat was ur calorie goal?

    About 8 weeks, so that work out to 1 lb/wk and my average calorie intake for all 8 weeks is 1400 calories. There were days I was closer to 1200 and one day at 2300 calories. Most days were around 1300 with a splurge on the wknd at about 1800. I can tell you that going from 132# (60kg) to 127 (58kg) was relatively easy, probably because it was mostly water weight.
