What are your best (realistic) tips for losing weight and staying motivated?

Question

I want to lose around 20 lbs ish. The exact amount isn't that important. I'm a thicker girl, and I like that, I just want to be healthier, and tone up/lose some flab to feel more confident! Any tips would help!!

Answer

I'm the same. I lost around 10 pounds in 2ish weeks with cutting down with unnecessary sugars like grabbing that one leftover cookie because it's not going to eat itself and it is bad to waste LOL. And water LOTS of it.

Answer

Eat smaller meals, more times a day. For example if you eat breakfast lunch and dinner, make slightly smaller portions, and have a HEALTHY snack in between. This will help speed up your metabolism which is one of the key factors in weight loss.

Answer

Drinking more water helps a lot. It boosts metabolism. Plus, your body needs it. Vegetables are extremely important also. They have the micro nutrients your body needs but can't produce on it's own. Also, raw foods have enzymes that help your body digest more efficiently. Not saying give up meat or cooked foods (I know I could never do that lol) but try to include more veggies and fruits. When your body has all the nutrients it needs, you'll feel happier and more motivated. (I'm going to school to become a nutritionist BTW) Also, find a work out you love. If you get bored of it, try something else. Biking, dancing, swimming, free YouTube workouts. Most important thing is to have fun and enjoy yourself. You got this.
