On a good week i get 10000 steps everyday but sometimes i dont go out at all and only walk >1000 steps a week. I dont like doing cardio alone and have a friend with me when i do go walk. Im currently at 211Lb and wanna get to 175Lb before September what can i do?

    it will mostly depend on your diet. You need to be taking in a calorie amount that puts you consistently in a weekly calorie deficit. Losing that much weight in that timeframe is going to be difficult and a bit unrealistic.


    Take your time and lose in a healthy way which means losing around 1-2 lbs a week. It will get harder as you get lighter and it may take a few weeks before the weight starts coming off.

    Weight loss happens in the kitchen, not the gym. It takes a significant amount of time and effort to burn a lot of calories with exercise, which is why you need to focus on what you are eating. Exercise is essential for health and fitness, but doesn't guarantee weight loss.

    this! and don’t just focus on WHAT you are eating, focus on how many grams / ounces (therefore calories) you’re eating of each thing as well. this app helps with that!
