The purpose of my post wasn't to make a cute rhyme. Go back to your old psychology textbooks. To make change one needs a strong, emotional reason to do so. In some cases that reason could make one cry. Something like imagining your young kids looking at your body, carrying significant extra weight in a casket. Imagining…

Find a really strong "why" you want to lose weight. The "why" should be something that makes you cry. Like being healthily to see the birth of your new baby's children. Establishing a strong "why" will make the good suggestions above much easier to implement. Congrats and good luck.

I can agree with that. If one isn't being challenged, they are not growing. And if one is being challenged they are going to be out their comfort zone.

You obviously did not had relatives impacted by Hitler.

To be honest, you'd be much better off spending the 20-30 minutes reading or listening to a topic you're interested in from someone with actual qualifications in the field.

The USDA allows 20% +/- on any food label to still be considered "accurate". Is this what you're talking about?
-
The calorie counts are most likely accurate. Less processed foods are generally less calorie dense than highly processed foods so the servings look larger with fewer calories. Extreme example, take a look at 100 calories of broccoli compared to 100 calories of a chocolate chip cookie. Good luck.

Personally if someone is calling themselves an influencer my ears perk up and my inclination is their advice isn't worth the powder to blow them to hell. Find me someone with years of experience, appropriate degrees, certifications, and high performing people in their field who work with the individual.

How long have you been at this?
-
Decent list above. Take a look at the labels and limit things with added sugar. https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/total-sugar-vs-added-sugar
-
Another thing to keep in mind regarding the above percents is around 70% of the US population is overweight/obese unfortunately.
-
Limit added sugar in your food (check the nutrition label). This will take care of a lot of choices. As an example, a 12 oz can of Coke has 39 grams of added sugar, so more than anyone should be taking in. Good luck.

In many European countries these drugs are self pay. https://www.euronews.com/health/2024/10/11/france-wont-pay-for-weight-loss-drug-wegovy-what-about-other-european-countries#:~:text=Wegovy%20is%20expected%20to%20cost,to%20help%20patients%20shed%20weight.

Why do you want to lose weight? To make weight loss work you have to have a powerful why (it should make you cry). Good luck
-
You weighed 119 lbs and gained 30 pounds in a month? You better see a medical provider ASAP. Not normal. Good luck.
-
Unless one changes habits the weight will come back with a vengeance if one quits GLP-1 drugs (Big Pharma's annuity).
-
And being obese makes those issues worse. My point.
-
I wasn't responding to the OP, I was responding to your comment. My comment is correct.
-
As mentioned above, it's about calories in/out. I would look to eliminate ADDED sugar as a good tool to reduce calories.
-
Sorry for your issues, but my statement still stands. Obesity (as well as extreme underweight) exacerbates most health issues. Never said there aren't some things that are worse than being obese.
-
True, but from a health standpoint, being obese exacerbates most of these things
-
Good luck. For actual motivation you need a strong personal "why" to lose weight and get healthy. Something that will elicit a strong emotional response (perhaps even make you cry). As an example for someone with young children, picture yourself unable to play with them due to health issues from excess weight Something…
-
True, but will add it's pretty hard to eat too much natural occurring sugar (diabetics and those with other medical conditions check with your provider). Strive to eliminate all added sugars will take one a long way.
-
Given your weight, you need to be following the advice and monitored by a professional, not well meaning people on the internet. Good luck.
-
If you want to make progress, acknowledge your food choices are dangerous, not working in the office. Good luck.
-
Any legal "fat burner" is not effective.
-
IMO, virtually anyone who calls themselves an influencer isn't worth the powder to blow them to hell.
-
What have you been doing to control weight/blood markers without medication? It is a prescription medicine so you get it from a doctor. I bet Tic Tok didn't tell you about this. Warnings - Mounjaro may cause tumors in the thyroid, including thyroid cancer. Watch for possible symptoms, such as a lump or swelling in the…
-
This is so correct. I'm pretty sure the trainer in the original post was talking about hunger, not starvation, but used the incorrect word. For many people who start on a weight loss journey, they feel they are "starving" while in reality they just feel hungry due to consuming fewer calories than they were (which of course…

The working each major muscle group 2-3 times a week is advice from the CDC, and what is taught in major personal trainer certification programs. Now could there be special cases where once a week for a body part works, sure, but not ideal for the general population.
