Is there anybody that can offer me advice or tips on how I can lose 20 pounds ? I’m a male and just want to get slim body . I am currently weighing 150 and 5’5 . I don’t like sitting and doing nothing after work especially when I’m just working part time . I wanna do this to build my confidence and have new look experience . I like cardio and intend on only using it for weight loss . I want to go 3-4 days a week and aiming to lose 4-6 pounds a month. Ik that is a pretty accurate time in losing weight over a month . I read online that it is realistically possible to lose 10 pounds a month but ofc I’m gonna start off slow and considering I’m not a very active person I’ll try and at least do the bare minimum I can to meet my goal. I will also want to be at the gym least 2-3 hrs a day . I will do rest days. My ocd wants me to do everything precisely and perfectly so I’m assured that I’m doing it right and don’t mess anything up. Can someone please tell me how I can lose weight?

I appreciate you:) but I was lookin more into doing gym cardio type stuff . Any suggestions on how I can start ? I just really need to lose 20 pounds ;( it’s been on my list for a while now and I want something nice for me

Yoga ? I’m trying to lose weight 🤷🏾‍♂️but thanks

I would say the best thing to start out and not over whelm yourself is the 12-3-30. Treadmill at an incline of 12, speed 3, for atleast 30 minutes. The incline really helps to burn fat but the speed is not too overwhelming! Also great if you want to read/watch something while you work out.

The workout is really good for the evening, and especially if your intrusive thoughts get worse at night working out can really help to ease the mind. I usually eat after the workout just so I’m not bloated while walking/running. I also feel that working out makes me less likely to binge eat a lot of food, so I usually have a light heathy meal and a protein shake! I’m not an expert, but this has just been my experience

I eat it after because it makes me bloated/my stomach feel full when I work out which is uncomfortable for me but it’s common to do it either way. I’m personally vegan so my food choices may be different from yours, but I try to have a carb like rice in small portion and then have sautéed tofu (or your meat of choice) with a salad and veggie on the side after I work out.

Try out yoga!! There’s many different types!

Thank you so much!

Is it good to exercise in the evening ? Let’s say I’d had all 3 meals and decide to go to gym afterwards is it ok to keep that same routine ? I’m jus not wanting to mess any of my progress and want to maintain losing weight instead of gaining if I’m just gonna eat after a workout. Does that make sense ? So I’m hoping to go 4 days if not then maybe even 5 depending on how busy my schedule can get . Also, I’m not sure what meals to eat to actually lose weight , any suggestions ? My life has been so hard with ocd , not being able to do much around bc of it , but I am hoping I could do this as a coping mechanism .

I get where you’re coming from . But I just don’t want to eat after working out tho and I’m sure if I do, it’ll probably just be low calorie snacks or veggies . But I’m having trouble figuring out what foods to use for when I start . Also do you eat the protein shake after or before working out ?
