Hi ! I’m 18, 5’6 and about 180. I went from 125 to 185 over the past two years, my doctor put me on a bunch of medications that boosted my appetite and blah blah blah. I’ve been trying for about 2 months to lose weight, but with the combination of my appetite, slowed metabolism and extreme fatigue from everything going on it was extremely difficult, bordering impossible. I started actually losing weight about two weeks ago, after my doctor gave me the OK to ween off the medications and have so far lost 5 lbs. Just wondering if anyone else has lost a similar amount of weight and how long it took you? I know healthy weight loss is 1-2 lbs a week, but I’m hoping to speed that up at least somewhat. Any advice, suggestions or antidotes are greatly appreciated :)
edit: Thank you all for mentioning that losing weight faster is not healthy. Even just losing 5 lbs I got so excited that I wanted to speed things up for a quicker reward, not healthy! Also, my activity level used to be really high. I was a dancer till I was 16. (the reason I stopped is the same reason I was put on so many medications and gained sm weight). I want to lose weight so I can feel comfortable in my body, and go back to dancing, and hiking and other things I enjoy without getting so sweaty and exhausted so fast. My exercises mainly consist of different ballet inspired workouts for weight/resistence training(1 hour, three times a week) hiking to get cardio in (3 hours every saturday, plus 8k steps a day) and some mma here and there (my boyfriend and mom both do mma so I figured it be a fun way to get exercise in). If this helps any of you with giving advice, there you go! thank you all so much again!
