I kill myself with cardio 6 times a week and…

Not sure where this goes.
Trying to lose weight with 1500 cals a day 5-6 45 min workouts a week. I do fine but I get nauseas if I dont eat enough and 1500 doesnt seem to be cutting it....should I up my cals, or is that my body trying to adjust?

Sugar
What do you do to keep your intake low? Do you cut out certain fruits/limit them? Ideally is an apple two servings of fruit? These sound like really stupid questions but It may be where im going wrong.....I know about the greek yogurt thing but it is so expensive!

Portion Controls
Should you really worry when it comes to veggies? I have a huge thing for sauteed muschrooms with pam and a little lemon pepper........or veggies in general? asparagus? I could eat it all day!

Okay
So if my bmr is roughly 1800 calories a day. I am set to lose 1 pound a week at 1540 calories a day plus eating back all my exercise calories which comes to usually 400-500. Am I really supposed to eat all this? I dont see how I will lose any weight doing this. Should I go back to eating 1200 a day plus my exercise cals?…

NSV HERE!
Size 13 pants that were so tight I had to lay down to button them and wear a big shirt so my mushroom top didnt show. Now I can pull them on without unbuttoning them AND I could use a belt but will do without until I lose more. I still have that mushroom top but only because I had a baby. The pants have nothing to do with…

This is gonna sound stupid
Does running help you lose weight? Or should I do a more calorie burning workout like zumba? I know I should switch it up but I've only got so many resources and money is not one of them!

It has greatly improved my endurance but that's it. Ive only lost 5 pounds with it. Ill give running another shot but I dont want to spend a bunch…

BUT i've also heard that it's okay to do ab stuff because…

How do you go on?
After feeling like a failure for losing a weight loss competition..Knowing I still have 50+ pounds to lose.... How did you all who have lost more than 60 pounds find the courage to keep going after a defeat?! I've only lost about 26 pounds so far and I am so disappointed in myself for losing.

I am losing the weight YAY! But I am worried how my stomach will look after the fact.

Anyone come back from a big baby with a lot of weight loss and been okay with…
