What's next after losing all my baby weight?
There are several ways to go about it. Some people will try to maintain their weight, some people choose to lose more weight, and others may even manage to shed yet another pound or two off their slimmed bodies. So if you have lost the weight but now don't know what's next in your journey, here are some tips for you!
- You can take a photo of yourself at the start of your journey - once you've reached your target weight, compare the before and after photos to see just how far you've come!
- Purchase clothes that flatter your new figure. If you're happy with how much weight you have lost, then this is an excellent way of rewarding yourself by buying something nice that shows off your hard work.
- Have a party! Once you have reached your goal, there's no reason to start celebrating. Invite all of your friends and family over for a good old celebration to mark this milestone in your life. You can have a barbeque or an indoor cake buffet - whatever makes you happy!
- Set new goals for yourself. Now that you have reached your target weight, it's wonderful to reward yourself with something nice, but after this is done, don't just lay back and relax. There are always new things you can try out - even if it takes months or years before you decide on the next thing to do, keep active and keep exploring healthy ways of changing how you live your life!
- Keep in touch with your dietician and trainer. They've done a good job of getting you where you are today, so why not give them a call when you need some inspiration or motivation? It's always good to have someone to turn to when the going gets tough!

The result of losing weight can vary depending on where the fat is at and what shape you were in before losing weight.

What happens when I lose a lot of weight?
Most people who lose a lot of weight tend to look thinner and more toned, but some people do experience changes in their skin which may alter how they feel about themselves.
This is perfectly normal and can be treated depending on how much excess skin there is - there are treatments available to remove excess skin, which can help improve self-confidence.
To avoid this, it's important not to lose weight too quickly as you'll be less likely to see these changes happen.
It's also recommended that you exercise and eat healthy after losing weight; this will help stabilize your body at the size you're now at.
This should keep your weight steady, which means that if any further changes happen, they will take longer to appear.
What happens to my skin when I lose a lot of weight?
Your skin will stretch as you gain weight, but it won't bounce back once you've lost the weight. This is why some people experience loose skin after losing a significant amount of weight.
Ways that this can be treated include plastic surgery or treatments with lasers and energy-based devices that help tighten the skin from inside using radio waves. These treatments are not suitable for everyone, and there is always a risk involved. If you're thinking of going ahead with one, make sure you see an experienced professional who knows how to use the device effectively. You can also try exercising regularly, strengthening your muscles and improving blood flow, which means that more nutrients and oxygen reach your skin.
This will help tighten your skin as you lose more weight. It's also recommended that you eat a healthy diet with lots of fruit and vegetables. If you do this, you'll feel great inside and out. Your friends will be able to tell the difference in no time at all.
Why does loose skin happen after losing weight?

If you don't want any loose skin at all, there is always the option of surgery, but we wouldn't recommend this until your body is used to its new size and shape. This can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on how much weight you've lost and how to fit you were before starting your journey. There will be more advice when we get closer to that part in our series.

Many people lose fat from around their faces, making them look younger and giving them a more toned appearance all over. This is one of the biggest compliments someone on a weight loss journey can receive about how they look because it means they're doing something right for themselves!

What is the difference between losing fat and gaining muscle/weight training?
Losing fat means you're losing excess body weight, either by burning body fat or shivering due to cold exposure (i.e., weight loss caused by calorie restriction).
You can't lose only fat, but your muscles will look better than ever before after losing lots of weight because they'll become visible instead of being obscured by layer upon layer of body fat!
To lose fat, you'll need to eat fewer calories than your body needs. This will cause it to burn more energy from the food you've eaten and from your stored fat reserves. To do this effectively and safely, you should be eating a healthy diet of nutritious whole foods with plenty of fresh vegetables, lean meat or fish and low-fat dairy products.
To ensure that they're eating enough after losing a lot of weight, many people find it useful to keep a food diary where they write down what they eat every day to track how much they're eating.
Building muscle means that you'll be gaining excess body weight, either by turning the existing body fat into new muscle tissues (i.e. weight gain caused by a calorie surplus) or by eating more to support new muscle growth (i.e., bulking).
To build lean muscle, you'll need to eat more calories than your body needs to turn them into additional lean tissue. To do this effectively and safely, you should be eating a healthy diet of nutritious whole foods with plenty of fresh vegetables, lean meat or fish and low-fat dairy products.
