  • Usually the weight loss plateau's at some point. Its important to remember that you cannot lose all your weight in 1 month (in a healthy way) if you have been gaining it for 5 years. Patience, persistence and CONSISTENCY are the most important things.
  • What works for me every time is working out. Even something small like doing a couple of sets of push ups. When I know that Im only wanting something to munch on because of boredom, I will just do some sort of form of light exercise and the appetite goes away. Its also a good boost for metabolism.
  • Personally, I would first focus on getting rid of the stubborn belly fat, and only then focus on gaining muscle. To get rid of belly fat, you need to eat your calories in deficit of what you are actually burning in a day. For example, a good place to start is to eat 300-500 calories less than you usually would. Wholesome…
  • Good luck. It is possible! you are absolutely right by starting off with small goals. Before you know it, those small goals will be turning into big goals. Consistency is key.
  • Remember, the number on the scale could be deceptive because muscle weighs more than fat. So therefore you losing fat will not necessarily bring down your overall weight - whereas gaining muscle could even bring your weight up.

  • The only person that should feel worthless is him for making those comments. And you should be feeling good about yourself, especially said you are ok with gaining muscle - so don't make anyone make you feel worthless. No one should have that type of power and control over how you feel about yourself.
