Cla tablets! Weight loss help

2 stone is 28 lbs right? If so that's probably too lofty of a goal. 2 lbs per week is considered a safe amount to lose, so that would mean 16 pounds IF you don't stall out. Setting a time frame like that always makes me nervous, it's setting yourself up to be disappointed if you don't make it, even if you made a lot of progress.

As for weight loss supplements, in general they don't work.

Just eat at a reasonable deficit, get some exercise, and be patient.

ETA: a quick (unscientific) google search reveals that Cla is controversial and has a small amount of research supporting its effectiveness.



Still, your focus should be on eating right and getting exercise. Even if it works as promised, the supplement isn't going to perform any miracles.

Thanks everyone some fantastic advice! Jus been doin this now for 4months with9 lbs lost which isn't alot so I dnt knw why it's not working for me and working well for so many other ppl. It's jus I can't get out to the gym cause of other problems I have going on so dieting and bein active at home and walking is what I can only do!

I'm jus worried that this is not working and will I Eva lose this weight! Jus feel depressed! My TDEE is 1707 so less 20%. Any other advice on what others are doin with their weightloss success that is working really well. Or an idea of what they eating or what a typical day for me should look like? Maybe a plan I can follow. I knw I'm going wrong some where just can't figure out where.
Height 5ft 2in
Weight 145lbs
Goal 120 lbs


Please help! Dnt knw what to do!!

A loss is a loss, even if it's low (and you're close to a healthy weight, so slower loss is to be expected); I'd recommend adding in other measures of progress. Take measurements with a soft measuring tape and take pictures. These are indicators of progress that don't always show on the scale (I've lost only eleven pounds over the year, but I'm in my "lighter" weight clothing at a much higher weight because of heavy lifting... inches have come off much more than the number on the scale). Again, I recommend heavy lifting... try looking into getting a trainer, or reading up on different weightlifting programs (like Women's Stronglifts 5x5). These help reduce body fat... and allow for much higher calories to eat in order to help build and/or sustain that muscle!

You're eating 1200 cals a day? Up your calories by 150-300 and you'll start losing again.

Wil I not gain weight like this?

Thanks everyone! But I really struggle eating 1200 calories I always have about 250 always left so increasing them I wouldn't knw what else to eat!

Don't mean to be rude, but if you're having trouble eating 1200 calories then you wouldn't be on here in the first place. You're not having a problem with eating, you're stressing over your food way too much. I did the same thing when I started. It doesn't take much to add calories. On top of what you're eating already just add a couple more foods like:

A banana
Apple with or without peanut butter
Grapes
A cup of milk or chocolate milk
Piece of toast
Almonds, cashews or peanuts are high in calories
Crackers (with or without cheese)
Cheese (cheese string)
Granola bar, nutrigrain bar or my fave - oatmeal to go bar (120-170 cals)
A bowl of cereal
Oatmeal
A salad

You're going to get to the point where you won't lose at all, because your calories are too low. So whether or not you add a couple hundred calories in your day is up to you. My suggestion; if you want to lose weight add some calories!

Just because this greatly annoys me when this comes up...

Outside of the minority of people on here who are trying to lose weight that came on from a medical reason, appetite can very quickly acclimate. It's not uncommon for people to go from 2000 to 1200 calories, and after a few days of this, quickly find their appetite changing to accommodate for lower calories. It's the old "shrinking stomach" deal (which is a misnomer, obviously, as not eating as much does not change stomach size).

OP, what's your exercise? People who tend to reduce calories, but exercise quite a bit either through aerobic or anaerobic WILL have more hunger than those who are more sedentary/don't have eating issues of "eating out of boredom" or misplaced hunger.

Incorporating exercise should be done for overall health (bone density, cardiovascular, etc.) anyway, but doing so will help rev your appetite, making it easier (and more necessary) for you to get in more calories.
