Im already a fairly small girl, but I have an average body fat and I look fairly skinny fat. I'm not really happy with it because I want to tryout for tennis and because I just kind of want to look leaner out of my own wishes.
The only issue is I've been using a weight loss app (loseit) and I'm noticing now that I don't know if its being accurate. I checked my macros online to see if it was the same amount of calories as the app was giving me, but my app was undershooting by about 100 calories. I'm a bit upset because I can't tell if I've been doing any of this right. I've been able to sleep faster, I have slightly more ease doing difficult tasks, and I've had overall better digestive health compared to 30 days ago when I would order out food at least four times a week and eat ramen all day. I'm happy about this, but I know I shouldn't be too hasty when it comes to expecting results. I haven't seen any changes in the mirror, and I don't have a weight scale for both measuring food and mt body weight so i try my best to use measuring cups for fluid things and portioning out my food beforehand. But i have no idea if ive even been in a deficit at all.
I did workout 10 days out of the 30 so far, and the only thing im upset about is I have no motivation to workout. When I went cold turkey no more ordering food every single day (I order it occasionally, but even then I don't exceed more than my calorie limit for the day) I exercised almost four times a week and it was exhausting but the thrill of a new diet and fixing my life made it worthwhile. Now that I'm 30 days in, I feel burnt out. I walk outside for 30 minutes twice a week, I play violin for an hour four times a week, spend three hours a day cooking three meals, but I never do dedicated training because I have many issues with motivation and because I am very weak its so hard to do anything. Even after thirty days, I collapse one second in to a pushup. I lost an inch off my waist, but im pretty sure it was just water weight. Im glad I can say I've been eating healthier because I do feel it, but I really hope I'm just not screwing myself over. I dont really have any money for a food scale but I am gonna get a job soon so I might buy one and I hope it will be enough to help me get on my feet more.
Should I lower my calories any further? I eat 1440 calories a day because thats my sedentary amount, but my bmr is 1200 calories. I would go to 1200 calories, but I think I would be miserable eating that little which is why I tried to make a deficit by activity. Am I judging too soon? Advice is greatly appreciated.
