How to lose weight over the next 90 to 100 days and start a healthier lifestyle?

I have been struggling to lose weight since 2018. I get into the gym but I never stay consistent because I’ve had bad experiences at the gym. Like one time this guy walked behind me and kept smelling my air. Lol. I can get the ick really quickly. Then I tried home workouts but I get bored. Now because I have a job where I’m always in my car the majority of the day I struggle to do anything but sleep and eat. On the days I know I will eat out I will try not to eat out more than once that day. Like today I had a decent amount of water two burgers onion rings and a lemonade. Then on days when I know I can’t workout I try to eat anything healthy I can get my hands on like a good salad but then I end up putting fried chicken on the salad, or getting the quesadilla explosion salad from chilis. I kinda blame my job because I’m really never home except to sleep. That’s how I make money for the month but I’m worried about my health. I was thinking just 90days of smoothies, 30 minutes of going to the gym, and strictly healthy salad with protein and veggies. I know people won’t agree with my strict diet or food choices but when your obese and you just want to Heal I want to start somewhere and build a healthy relationship with healthy foods. The gym thing I would have to wake up at like 5:30 or 6am so I can squeeze a workout in my life. I’m working a lot because my ex husband left me and told me he cheated with his co worker. So I need to work a lot so I can afford a place and be able to pay bills on my own. It’s been almost a year since I moved to another state with no where to go, so I work so I can survive. I don’t want to make my self sick I want to make a better life. Also this affects my dating life because I tried to date when I was separating in 2019 and guy told me he thought I would be smaller than what I am. I was 165lbs and now I’m 230lbs. I carry the weight well but it just affects my mood, and I feel slowed down. I also have some guys interested in taking me out but I keep missing out because I don’t like how I fit my clothes. Also I’m sorry the truth hurts but the quality in men who liked me when I was more fit than now is a big difference. Like yes some guys try to hook up with me but they are not trying to show me off, lock me down, or treat me the way I feel I deserve. So I have not met with any men because I want to be healthier before I dare again. Also I’m not saying there’s guys who don’t like bigger women but the ones who do have a weird way of showing it. At the end of the day this is for me so I can feel like me again. I was smaller all my life I can look in the mirror and see I need to be healthier. A lot of the body positivity women I think they seem kinda self absorbed, delusional and narcissistic. Like trust me I have a friend who is over weight on oxygen can’t even walk to the mail box and she smokes and I don’t want to be like that.

I struggled with my weight for most of my life. I am m a type 2 diabetic who was at 250 lbs. After my parents death I thought about my own life. My unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. I ended up doing Weight Watchers and started tracking all of my food and kept within my limits week. I started talking daily, it took me a year, but I lost 90lbs.

You can do it. It takes effort, but it is worth it for your own sake. I hope the best for you.
The two best diets for losing weight is intermittent fasting and keto. Intermittent is easier for most.

And some light to moderate (not heavy) workouts after fasting for 12+ hours... heavy workouts while fasting can leave to mistakes and injuries.

I think a smoothie diet isnt a bad idea. Your still getting all your nutrients if you make them right. Also a morning routine work out can be tough to start but once you get used to it you will feel great. I forgot the word i wanted to use, but when you wake up earlier than everyone else and achieve something it feels really gratifying. David goggins is a good inspiration if you like a hard ass. Just have a goal that you want to be and get obsessed with it. Dont stop until you become that vision of yourself. Never give up.

I went vegetarian and ate moderately smaller portions than before. Most people fail because they eat nothing but tiny salads and eventually cave in. I was still eating enough to function as well as many meals that I genuinely enjoyed. Ended up losing 40 pounds in a single year. I also started working a manual job that served as my exercise.

There is an app called Myfitnesspal, you can download for free. It tracks your calorie intake and exercise so that you know how much weight you will lose or gain over time.

@Muthafukajones I make my own schedule but it’s the kinda job where the more you work the more you make cause it’s Independent contract work. So if it’s slow during mornings, I’ll have to wait for it to pick up on night shift. It’s not always like that but I kinda have to get caught up on some things

Diet is 90 percent of weight loss especially for women as it is muscles that are most efficient at burning fat and women on average have less muscle mass than men. Eat a high protein zero carb breakfast. Limit portions. Eat a lot of vegetables that are low carb. Eat avocados to feel full. By eating zero carbs and keeping calorie intake to less than 1200 per day you can burn 20LBS a month. Make sure to eat lots of vegetables and at least 1 gram of protein for every pound you weigh daily to maintain your health. Also drink a lot of water.

@Muthafukajones Also eat two servings of berries per day raspberries and strawberries are best
