We are just trying to help OP not waste their money on a scam product sold by people who have no clue what they are tlaking about, thats why so many of them struggle to have long term weight loss and keep it off. Shakeology is an overpriced protien shake that uses low quality protien, and all the super foods in it is just…

Third this, 21 day fix isnt a good method. Why do a program that you constantly have to restart and begin again. Its better to just learn good eating habits and enjoy a balanced diet.

To lose weight, wrigh all my food and eat a calorie deficit. To build the aesthetic look i want, do that and lift weights to maintain muscle.

If you read below i clarified, what i meant was weight lifting alone wont make you lose weight, you need a calorie deficit.

Sorry for not being clear. Let me reaffirm, ive lost 40 pounds using a calorie deficit and weight lifting and seen amazing results! What is your deficit set at? Slow and steady is your best bet, it will minimize muscle loss. Also if you dont have one already a food scale is a great investment. Another thing is make sure…

Now she is in a deficit but OPs first point in their post is that their clothes fit tighter, which leads me to believe in the begining they werent in a deficit. The point i was trying to make was just weight lifting wont make you slim down, you need the deficit. I guess i didnt word it clearly, i wasnt saying that weight…

Not wrong at all. If youre not in a claorie deficit you wont lose weight. Now if the calories burned from lifting puts you in a deficit then yes it helps you slim down. But if youre eating a calorie surplus and lifting, and new to lifting youll probably build muscle. Maybe i worded it badly. I shouldve said "Weight lifting…

Lifting weights wont help you slim down, infact if youre a new lifting your muscles should get bigger. Obviously im not a lady but lifting for men and women is the same. Most people on here will recommend strong curves, stronglifts 5x5, or new rules of lifting. Personally i suggested my fiance did stronglifts because there…

Greek yogurt with vanilla protien powder mixed in.

Ill address the doing a bulk question. I would recommend not doing one. I did one when i was in a similar position as you. My thought was i could build some extra muscle and then cut again, so after the second cut i would have more muscle. I think whats best though is skip the bulk and just keep slow cutting until you…

Thats eating sugar.......

Just creatine, its the most studied/proven to be effective. I used to take BCAAs but then i stopped, they did absolutely nothing except make my water taste better.

Keep at it! If youre worried just lock down your tracking, make sure youre not forgetting any food you eat and your weighing everything.

1. You cant do it quick, 2 pounds per week is the most you should lose. Although 1 pound per week would be a better rate to lose at. 2. Use a food scale to weigh all your food, and track everything you eat. 3. Do a weight lifting/body weight program to maintain muscle as you lose weight. When i started my weight loss i was…

Creatine is very well supported.

Best tip. Workout for health not for weight loss. Weight loss comes down to be accurate (use a food scale) and honest (track everything) with your calorie tracking. But for a tip for being consistent get a game plan, plan when youll go to the gym (i alwaus start the week by figuring out what 4 days will be best for me to…

Not that im necessarily pushing that everyone should take creatine but, creatine does pair well with weight loss. When it initially takes effect you may see a stall on ther scale from the water rention but this water will be in your muscles not under your skin so it shouldnt show too much. It can help you retain muscle…

There isnt a need, its not a must but if youre going to use a suppliment creatine is perfectly safe (as long as you stay hydrated) and actually works (if youre one of the 80% who respond to it and pair it with a progressive lifting program). Op to answer your question i think most suppliments are a waste but i agree with…

A lot of great things here ^ Ill add that being very accurate with your calorie tracking is important for weight loss. Id recommend getting a food scale. When i was in school i pretty much lived off salads and chicken. Eating healthy is important but sticking to your calorie goals is what matters most. As for the exercise…

To be really accurate youd need a heart rate monitor. Most lifters dont bother tracking because calorie burn is minimal.

Not sure but bodybuilding.com has a lot of routines

Most dont bother tracking it, itll be pretty insignicant. Also definitely take the above advice about it being an inflated number its really hard to be accurate unless you have a heart rate monitor.

You dont need it, no. If you were going to take a suppliment though creatine is the best one (assuming youre getting adequate protien). How much water are you drinking? I get stomach aches from creatine too IF i havent drank much water. When taking creatine you need to really up your water intake. I drink 100+ ounces…

Nuts are a super easy way to get extra calories

Nuts. Easiest way to add calories imo.

B.C.L. Bench Curl Leave

Weight loss gcomes down to burning more calories then you take in, so most importantly for weight loss youll want to accuratly track caloires (food scale is a great chrap investment). One thing that should help a bit with lose skin is not losing too fast. 2 pounds per week i think is good, as you approach your goal weight…

I would consider not doing sit ups/crunches and doing like plank instead. Thats me though

You wont get defined abs unless you have low body fat. That being said building ab strength can help them show sooner. Abs are a muscle too so they need rest as well. Personally i would do abs 2 or 3 times a week and work them until they you can feel them getting tired. Its hard to give an exact amount to do because…

Yes. Anything that gets your heart rate up is good cardio.
