Im trying to lose about 10 lbs and although I think im doing all the right things, that number just doesn’t seem to be moving. Any ideas of what to do?
did you already start losing and then stop? that could be A) because that’s the right weight for you or B) while you aren’t losing pounds, you are losing inches. you might want to check that out.
How to drop 10 pounds in as many seconds:
Pick it up. Then put it down.
Drink water. Don’t drink soda or juice. You’ll lose 5 lbs in your first week
He already did that and didn’t lose the weight, according to the post.
ask a dietician. go for walks don’t drink calories and consult a doctor if that “lowest weight for height ” is healthy for you
why is that your goal, to be at the lowest weight for your height?
Different people are built differently. If you are any bit broad, or muscular, or just ”heavy-boned”, you shouldnt be at that lowest weight anyhow. A number on a scale is not a great goal in and of itself.
Assuming your weight loss goal IS healthy and dr approved, losing inches instead of numbers is a good thing. Keep in mind too that muscle weighs more than fat
Also remember that the goal should also be to gain better eating habits and a more active lifestyle in order to keep your weight down. slow and steady is generally better then quick, drastic drops in which the body is thrown off it’s equilibrium and the metabolism is slowed down leading the body to use muscle instead of fat
I was always in shape. round is a shape, no?
Remember difference could be in inches as well, more toned etc. For all it’s worth, when I reached a plateau I was also worried and then after continuing for another few weeks the pounds just started sliding off again. no explanation. plus, BMI is a very imperfect statistic as a personal trainer who weighs a lot due to muscle can be considered obese if you check his BMI, but in reality, he is very healthy
make sure you not trying to reach a number that is not possible. also keep in mind that increasing your water is a great way to end a plateau
Sour grapes method–convince yourself that losing weight is not worth it.
Because that’s how the Sour Grapes method works!
