I (25F) have been getting back to healthier habits gradually over the last three ish months after a bit of a slump that resulted in some weight gain over the last few years. I’m 5’2 and went from about 145lbs to 165lbs in about 1.5 years. So far, by eating between 1,300-1,500 calories a day and working out 7 days a week, I’ve lost 5 lbs.
For clarification, I weigh myself everyday and ignored initial upticks that were likely due to water retention and general body mysteries. The scale didn’t really budge downwards until after 2 months, and then it dropped a bit suddenly over the last couple of weeks. I’m now hovering at the 159-160 number. In total, I’m down 5 lbs in 3 months.
In terms of what constitutes a workout, I either take a hot yoga class, get 12,000 steps in, or hit the gym for 60 minutes. Gym workout is usually steady state on the stair master for about 20 minutes followed by a lifting session.
Also worth noting that I do full body measurements every Sunday. Everything has stayed the same except my “engaged waist” has lost close to an inch. My relaxed waist has not changed.
My question is, do you think it is feasible to lose 15 lbs in the next 45 days? I have an event Im hoping to look GREAT for and I know that 145 is a good weight for me.
I eat a plant based diet (though I do enjoy take out once or twice a week), am abstaining from alcohol, and would love any advice or feedback! I’m planning on sticking to the 1,300 calories limit and not giving myself those 1,500 days. Anything else? Would you tweak the numbers?
My work is a sedentary desk job as an extra detail!
