It is the goal I set for myself and I lost 15 pounds pretty easily but the rest has been slow going. I started at around 190/193 pounds initially (end of last year). I was fluctuating between 180-185 around March 20th and I have been dieting and going to the gym since then regularly.
I only drink water, unflavored black coffee and unsweetened tea. As for food I try to stay away from sugar/salt for the most part since sugary drinks used to be my weakness. I usually stay within 1200 calories (I range between 900-1200 depending on if I am hungry or not) but I eat all day. Usually it is eggs and sausage in the morning (sometimes bread too), a meal replacement as either lunch or as my snack inbetween meals (powder and water), fruits, veggies and either chicken or salmon for dinner. All bland. Basically the same things every day. Easy to stick to.
My ultimate goal is to be around 130 to 135 and just maintaining that even though that is still on the higher end for my height. Is July realistic to hit the 40 pound mark and be around 150? What would be good things to incorporate into my diet or remove? Currently I just eat when I’m hungry and split up the amount of calories I am eating throughout the day and then go to the gym in the evenings where I do cardio and lift weights with a friend.
Appreciate all input cause I’m bad at this and currently am at the lowest weight I’ve been since I don’t know when.
Edit// I am fluctuating between 168 to 173 currently so I’m around halfway there
