F19, haven’t been out of my house in 2 years

I am 19, 5’6 (168cm) & +/- 242 in weight (110kg).

I have been staying home for almost 2 years i think, i got bad anxiety and couldn’t go out anymore, I gained weight in these two years, had many family problems and so and so on.

I had started eating healthy some months ago, and although it lasted only 2-3 months (not my fault, family stuff came up and it was impossible to follow my diet), I saw some results.

Now I have approximately 7 months to lose minimum 20kg (44pounds), cause I want to go to school in September and losing 20kg is the only way I will feel comfortable enough to actually step outside of my house.

DO YOU GUYS THINK that 20kg are realistic in 7 months? Am i going to make it? I really want to have my life back, and more than anything going to school. But my anxiety is so bad cause of my weight that I will not be able to step outside the house if at least 44pounds aren’t gone.

I am going to follow a diet of 1200 calories, and I wanted to ask you guys for some advice & tips. Also some insight about my diet plan.

I know 1200 calories is like the limit, but keep in mind that I am at home 24h/7. I never go out and the most active thing I do is taking a shower.

But I plan to do some exercises at home, like to train arms in the first place, and then include legs & maybe stomach.

1 QUESTION:

When is the best time to do some workouts? I read that in the morning would be best, but I am not sure.

I wake up pretty early (and go to sleep early), anywhere from 5 to 10 AM (i am going to fix an exact time to wake up tho).

And also, HOW LONG SHOUKD THEY LAST? Of course in the first weeks I won’t be able to make it last 1h or maybe even 30min, but with patience and practice I can make it.

2 QUESTION:

Do I have to eat something specific after the workout or is my normal lunch okay?

3 QUESTION:

I plan to eat 2 meals a day + 1 snack. Is this okay?

Lunch would be around 12-13h Snack whenever I feel like it And then dinner at around 18-19h

I would like to not eat anything after 19H. Will this help with weight loss? What do you suggest?

QUESTION 4:

MY DIET PLAN ————> WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

Eggs / Chicken Breast / Broccoli / Cauliflower / Bifana (Red meat) max 2xweek / Chickpeas / lettuce salad / tomatoes / onions (with eggs) / spinach / fruits (snacks) / vegan yogurt

So, i’ll be eating a combination of these.

For example, Lunch: Chicken Breast with lettuce salad Snack: 1 Banana Dinner: Broccoli and tomatoes salad

And so on.

DISCLAIMERS:

• I don’t eat fish, any fish
• I think I may be lactose intolerant (can’t get tested right now cause I can’t leave my house) So i am going to not eat anything with lactose in it until i can get tested and know for sure.
• I know my diet is very boring but those are things i really like and it’s the simplest to cook and makes it easier to have it ready etc
• Of course with the time I will include healthy foods (you can suggest me some too!)

Ps: I also want to include things like pasta / rice /potatoes (basically carbs) but I don’t feel comfortable adding them right away in my diet. I want to include them after the first 10kg are gone. What do you think?

LAST QUESTION:

I have always been on the curvy side, but i had an amazing body years ago. I am hourglass shaped and although i never was thin, i really looked good before I gained so much weight. I didn’t go to the gym but I used to train butt & legs at home, doing squats and stuff like that, and my legs have some muscle —> In relation to that, I noticed that the first thing that appeared smaller after dieting for 2-3 months were more than the rest my legs. Is that because that is the part where the most muscle in my body is?

I want to lose weight everywhere but more than anything on my upper body / arms.

If say i start working out 45 min a day, and 30 min go to my arm & 15 to my legs, is that a good idea?

Cause my arms really lack muscle and are super flappy.

Please, give me your advice, insight, tips, anything.

If i have to change something, tell me.

Also feel free to link me some workouts that I can do at home.

Thanks in advance.
