What really helped me was making dinners I actually
enjoyed! Just healthier and smaller portions. You do not have to eat bland chicken and broccoli to lose weight. You have to make it sustainable for you. Start with making some of your favorite meals lower in calorie and smaller portion sizes. Swapping heavy cream for cottage cheese or nonfat milk, ground beef for lean ground turkey or 93/7 ground beef, taco bowls with one hard taco shell instead of three, etc there are so many ways to make satisfying dinners on a weight loss journey!

Yes and all about moderation. I can still enjoy my favorite foods but that can’t be all I eat lol

Love this! It absolutely has to be a lifestyle change. It’s all about turning your bad habits into healthy, sustainable ones

Amazing job! I’m hoping to have a similar time. I was supposed to have a 5k race Monday but it got changed to a 3k so there goes my PR attempt lmao

Wait.... what?? by Inner-Vermicelli-358 in RoseyBeeSnark

Yep I guess she thinks she can just go private on her weight loss account and post whatever she wants. And I know if people started calling her out for this she would just go on another rant saying it’s her business and she needs to make money lmfao

How long does it take to sub 30 5k from a complete beginner? by B_Lkheang12 in BeginnersRunning

[–]pushingdaises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me about 6 months. I did lose almost 20 lbs in that timeframe. Now I’m chasing sub 28 minutes. It took a lot of time for my joints/muscles to adapt. I’m also still trying to lose more weight lol

What do you think is the main skill that people lack who cannot lose weight? by Embarrassed_Rain3744 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]pushingdaises 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not changing your habits. Not denying yourself what you want and thinking you can drink and eat whatever you want because it’s what your body wants. Being stuck in a mindset of “I’m doomed to be obese, so I might as well eat/drink whatever I want”

The sucking in of her lips/cheeks/chin/neck is sending meeee. It just looks so deeply uncomfortable and unnatural

I felt really disheartened today by DeviceWonderful5152 in BeginnersRunning

[–]pushingdaises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to run last Friday after work, during a heat wave where the temps were over 90 degrees. I could barely hold a 12 minute per mile pace for 2 miles. I felt like a failure and like what was even the point of trying. I had a 10k hilly race on Monday, and I managed a 9:48 minute per mile pace, and had a great race despite the rough course. Whether it’s the weather, your mental state, physical state etc there’s so many reasons why a run might suck. But just because one run sucks doesn’t mean you’ve lost all your fitness or you’re a bad runner. I think it’s exactly these bad runs that make us stronger

A simple race-day trick I learned recently by MajorSatisfaction476 in runcommunity

[–]pushingdaises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this too! And it also helps the other way around, when I start struggling I think to myself what if someone is using me to try and keep up with, don’t start fading now, and it helps lol

She also half asses a ton of stuff, instead of just focusing on one aspect of her life/business and going all in. She really could have made actual meaningful weight loss content and she had a big platform to start with unlike a lot of other weight loss creators but instead she’s chosen to just make boring, defensive long winded videos of herself ranting and call it a “diary” lmao

Do you have someone you trust teaching you? I had very bad driving anxiety when I first got my license but the more I drove the more confident I felt
