HAVE A LIFE AND LOSE WEIGHT YES..YOU CAN
I remember stressing out because i was going on a hen weekend to Liverpool. I was working on a personal goal and it wasn't ideal to be eating pizza, kebabs and drinking 2 night but guess what...I still lost weight at my check in.
You don't need to stick to a boring meal plan
You don't need to workout for hours in the gym
You don't need to be tied to a treadmill
And you definitely don't need to starve yourself
Move your body often
Eat less than you need (be in a deficit for weightloss)
Primarily focus on lifting weight and some cardio (you won't get big, even men can struggle to do this and it can take years)
Don't drop your calories to 1200 or less get a coach or ask for advice for a qualified professional. Use the calorie calculator then every 4 weeks as your weight changes you can recalculate.
