Losing weight is not easy

I’m trying to lose some weight. It’s been hard for me. I know I can do it, but it’s the will power that gets to me. Does anyone feel the same too or am I the only one? Lol But anyways, I’m working on improving myself & that means my health needs to start first. I’ve been helping & taking care of everyone that I love that I forget to focus on myself. So.... this is my new journey. Taking care of myself starts now & my main goal is “fighting for myself.”

    Weight loss is very simple, and it doesn't have to be hard. It happens when you consistently take in fewer calories than you burn. When you fill in your stats at setup, the suggested amount of calories you get, is little enough to make you lose, but enough to keep you healthy. Then it's up to you to spend those calories as you see fit. It can take some trial and error, and learning some new things, but most of all it takes unlearning lots of old things - like "weight loss is a struggle".
