I'm Tasha, I'm 19 years old and I'm trying to lose my post baby weight! I was 190 lbs before I got pregnant and now I'm 253 lbs! My ultimate goal is to reach 150 lbs but to start I want to get back to my 190 lbs and then go from there! I had a pretty fast metabolism before I had my daughter but now it seems I really need to watch my calories/carbs/fat and exercise a lot more to lose weight so this is pretty new to me! Any tips would be much appreciated!

    Fast metabolism is a myth! Just make sure you accurately track EVERYTHING you consume (food/drink/snacks/alcohol, EVERYTHING). Eat 500 calories below your TDEE (which you can calculate here). You probably want to be eating around 1500 calories/day to start.
