Lifestyle Change

JKLizard3

I am 51. I used to yo-yo diet. Loose some before we go on vacation and within a few months I'm back where I started. Last July I told myself that's it! I'm making a lifestyle change. I am not promoting any diet but I did see one on the local news that made sense. I cut out the sugar (limit to 20 grams), no white bread or pasta and that's it. And of course some cardio on the bike. I am now down a total of 45 lbs. 31 lbs since last July. When I recently seen my doctor for a check up, he said I was in perfect health. If I loose 5 more lbs he said I would be at my correct BMI. My allergies don't even bother me anymore. I am down to a size I haven't seen since I got out of high school and got married. Only problem now is that I'm addicted to my scale, lol. I tend to check my weight at least a couple times a day. You will feel great when you get there. When I get that last 5 lbs I will post a pic.

Congratulations! I weigh myself everyday. Do what you want to do and don't let anyone make you feel bad for doing it. Everyone is unique in what works for them. My goal is to reach my appropriate BMI and stay there! Still a ways to go but applaud you....great work!

Urloved33 I love the pic you posted! I relate

Great job on the weight loss! I lost 43lbs and maintained from about August 2014 to January 2015 but noticed I gained 10-12lbs back. I'm back at it and working hard. I have lost 8lbs of the weight I gained back. Woohoo! We got this!

P.S. I weigh myself every day too
