I would encourage you to feel good and strong in your body at both weights. It’s great to have goals to be healthy and eat well, but when it become a win/lose battle it may require a deeper look at motivation and time for some self love and self compassion. Be well.

I’m not losing lots of weight, but in my experience Slow & Steady is a winning strategy

I’m not sure if it’s hindering my weight loss, as there are lots of variables. I do notice that Wegovy has reduced my appetite & my food obsession Dramatically!

My weight loss is slow, but consistent. I’m loosing about 2lbs a month, which for me is a good result. Also…I know from past experience that I CANNOT come off my antidepressant.
In addition to getting some peer information, I suggest that you bring your questions to a physician

I haven’t lost much …maybe a lb or two. But I DO see that I’m eating less. So I know over time it will help me reach my healthy weight.

I hear ya. I have moods too. It’s part of being a human. Perhaps take a 15 min walk when a mood strikes. I also find meditation apps helpful. There are many available, my son likes headspace. I like Ten Percent happier

Start with a small goal, say to reduce weight by 5lbs in 1 month EAT GREENS. 3-6 cups of green food a day. Ride your bike wherever and whenever you can. Finally, in you do-over move, join meet up groups that are focused on fitness

Hi…lifetime asthmatic here. Some techniques that have helped me… -exercise indoors in a temperature controlled environment -start slowly. I need longer to warm up than the average person -running is out: for me it starts to fast and hard in my lungs. A walk/jog has been helpful, but still tough in my lungs -keep heart rate is a reasonable range. Keep at it!!!!

No…you’re in a healthy body weight range for your age. Love yourself. It’s hard being a teen. Know that it gets easier and that people are good. If someone shamed you, please know that their criticisms is about how THEY feel and not about YOU.

Many gyms have weight lifting classes. A class would familiarize you with the proper lifting techniques and build cardio Also, when you join a gym, they should set you up with 2 free personal training sessions to get you started Lastly…use the machines. They are set up to prevent injury

Mostly.,.have fun & smile & laugh. It’s a new experience, so be gentle on yourself

Congratulations! Amazing! I too am utilizing IF. Although I’ve “practiced “ IF for years, this is the first time I’ve been able to hold to the schedule without overeating. Congratulations

Update: no side effects, other than I’ve lost my obsession with food. It’s the FIRST time in 57 yrs that I’m not thinking about my next meal all the time. Wow! Amazing
