1. Diet. Take a hard look at what you eat. Log your food daily. Use an app like MyFitnessPal. If it goes in your mouth, write it down
2. Check your Mindset. Think about what triggers you? Are you eating unhealthy? Do you have a sedentary lifestyle? Are you doing everything right but nothing works (see a doctor)?
For me when I’m stressed I munch. I try to keep heathy options around so I’m less likely to munch on junk.
3. Eliminate foods you don’t need: fried, oily, sugary snacks like cookies, and cut down on starches (white foods like potato pasta and rice). Try this for up to 4 weeks to reset any cravings. Stick to whole grains and fresh vegetables and I guess meat (I’m a vegetarian so I don’t know much about meat tbh).
4. Exercise. Look at how much you exercise. I cannot stress this enough but start slowly! If you’re not exercising, start walking. If you walk sometimes, walk daily. If you’re active but don’t run, use tools like the couch to 5k. Basically make time to move.
Another tool that’s helpful is a Fitbit or Apple Watch. Expensive but they are worth it.
5. Yoga/ meditation/ sleep. Make sure you’re getting enough of this!!
6. Patience. Losing weight is not overnight. It’s constant work. My experience is sustained weightloss is usually due to a complete mindset change. What changes do you need to make to be better? What’s stopping you? Make good habits part of your day to day.
Again idk your whole story but if you’re already doing these things but aren’t seeing results seek medical advice
Also I don’t know if you travel for work but as most consultants do I found that even with a vegetarian diet I wasn’t consuming the right things when I’m on the go. I had to really force myself to eat whole foods vs prepared foods from restaurants. Find grocery stores and eat veggies as snacks. Prepare foods from home if you must for 1-2 meals. Don’t eat out when you’re at home. Restaurant foods have a lot of added salt.
Also try joining a gym class or invest in a personal trainer
Also realize that the best changes are slow and gradual. When you become more active, your bones joints and muscles have to adapt. This doesn’t happen overnight!! You can’t force your body to go from 0 mi per week to 5 mi of running. It’s a slow change and you need to give yourself breaks after intense activity.
Finally but I should have said this first.. love yourself!! You are beautiful, your body is amazing and you can do amazing things. Be kind to yourself and practice self love ❤️
The above are all super helpful. Here’s another list that was just posted this weekend about maintaining balance in this job. I think the first four recommendations are applicable to healthy weight.

Hi!!! I reached 210 after giving birth started IF dropped the first 30 pounds in two months. I did every other day fasting life changing!
Really want to stress the importance of focusing your eating on fresh fruits and vegetables, and dishes made from scratch rather than processed food. Homemade Mac and cheese made from real milk and cheese is actually much better for you than a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese. Calories matter too, but that homemade m&c is going to fill you up quicker and stay with you longer than the stuff from a box.
Be smart too. If you lose weight too quickly, you’re far more likely to gain it all back and then some. Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to changing eating habits!
There is no other way than creating a negative difference between calories consumed and calories burnt. Diet, exercise, proper water intake, proper nutrition that balances your hormones and gut health (yes, eat your veggies). Add supplements like probiotics and Candida Support for your gut health. Think about your emotional triggers and eating habits, work on them. Cut alcohol completely. Only water for drinks, no juice, nothing else but water.
