I log everything I eat. Even when I don't want to.
Often I prelog. It makes things easier and if something is going to put me over I can adjust.
I accept that I'm going to have bad days, weight loss is a slow process, and I'm going to have to be consistent.
I plan meals I enjoy. Eating stuff I dislike everyday for every meal is the quickest way to make me give up.
Lastly, I weigh myself regularly and track it in a weight trending app so I can get the overall picture of what's going on that way I don't get discouraged by water weight or natural fluctuations.1 -
I am getting older and too comfortable with myself to push too hard anymore. I do well to maintain a good level of fitness overall, but haven't had that spark to get me to the level I want in my mind or to help with my sport. I do keep it in my mind though, and I do have a notion to get there some day, but I don't beat myself up anymore when I don't. So long as I don't completely slip back to the unhealthy start I was years ago...physically and mentally.1

Just log EVERY LITLLE THING you eat and if you are a fulltime couch potato it might be a good idea to move a little more. These round about 10000 steps (walking) a day thing is possibly a good start and does not crush your joints that much than running if you are lightly overweight.littlemissbgiff wrote: »...autoerotic asphyxiation.
THIS is really good to know! Tell us more... ;-)

I'm ancient, I'm 43, I'll say it part if accepting is admitting. I tend to be a bit hyper active at times so that's how I keep my.weight in check. I like candy and chocolate and caffeine.1

I was a fat for a premie, 6lbs, and also a fat baby -- I wore 18 month old clothing at 12 months old haha bc according to my mom, she kept on feeding me. But I was really scrawny growing up, always 15 - 20 lbs underweight because I was a marathon runner, on the T&F and swim team in high school, and never really enjoyed eating.
In short, eat less and exercise more, but not to an extreme. It's really as simple as just burning more calories than you're eating and you're gonna lose weight! And make sure you accurately keep track, a handful of candy here and a bite of chocolate there will add up.0 -
OP I am getting into the old as dirt age group. I just log my calories and exercise! I found something I enjoyed doing and I just keep doing it.0

I am old enough to an old pervert.. probably at my age that is what that is called.. no worries! lol0 -
I told God I couldn't solve it myself. I tried and tried and nothing was happening. I took all the advice and my weight didn’t budge.
So I prayed and God gave me a solution to the area I was struggling with. Suddenly it was EASY, and I was getting results with so much less work.
Everybody has a different area of struggle. God has a specialized solution.
For me, I couldn't curb night time eating, particularly sweets.
I tried everything the articles said - protein, 6 meals, etc. Nothing worked.
I prayed and it suddenly came to me to just go with it.
Hunger felt different to me in the morning and afternoon than at night.
So I stopped trying to balance my calorie load. I left a huge amount for dinner.
I meal prepped high satiating, delicious low cal lunches and just had coffee for breakfast. At night, I chowed down.
I found I couldn't chow as much as I thought. My stomach shrinked and I couldn't pack it in like I used to. Sweets started tasting sweeter and sweeter to the point of being inedible.
Last night I had coke and fries and a burger. I still have half a burger left. And not because I am "limiting," - regularly, I am full off of half portion sizes from restaurants.
Since the Christmas season, I've been eating normal breakfast and lunch, but as you can see, in different quantities than before.
With God, nothing is impossible.
Best wishes to you.

What kind of bag reports someone when an OP asks a question about losing weight and a person answers honestly?
I struggled with losing weight most of my life. And suddenly its easy, and I'm supposed to keep that all to myself because someone does not agree?
Get over yourself, honestly.
I don't run around flagging people who think differently than I do.0 -

aaww my new best friend... lol
Another on for me is setting mini and even bigger goals. A mini goal could be as simple as something you do in the day to something I might want to do or achieve 5-6 months from now.
I also have a SO and we are doing this together.0
