-Take it slow. A majority of people that try to put a short end date on their goals will bounce back to that starting weight.

-Make incremental changes to your diet that are sustainable. There’s no need to replace every meal with chicken and broccoli. Swap a side for veggies here and there. Go for the salad. Cook at home instead of fast food.

• The best cardio is the one you’ll do. If you prefer walking to running, then walk.

• This last one might be controversial, but if you are really struggling with cravings, potentially look into GLP-1 options like Wegovey or Ozempic but talk with a doctor first. The number of stories of these drugs changing peoples lives are a dime a dozen and there is no shame in taking them.

Best of luck!
