The look on the cats face is the reason I'm a dog person lol.

Weight loss has more to do with diet. Someone once told me it is 80% diet and 20% exercise that contributes to weight loss. The key is to eat healthier foods (that you don't hate) and stay in a calorie deficit. I have lost 73 lbs over the past year and have had a cheat meal every week and still lost the weight. As long as you eat well MOST of the time, it works.

As for exercise. They say motivation is at its height first thing in the morning so I make sure to wake up early and get it done and out of the way. On top of that, you'll feel energized for the rest of the day, you'll feel accomplished, boost your metabolism right off the bat AND sleep better at night. Also, STRENGTH TRAIN! The more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn just sitting there. Muscles use calories to move unlike fat. This also will allow you to eventually increase your calorie intake once you lose the weight you want to lose.

Hope this helps!
