10 year anniversary on weight loss!

jdevergillo7

Hello everyone, I am back! I have not been here in a while but I am back to try to lose about ten more pounds. I just realized my weight loss journey has almost been ten years! These are taken almost 10 years apart. I took the one on the left in my senior year of high school when I was 17 and now I am almost 27 and the picture on the right is from a few weeks ago. I lost 65 pounds during the first year of my weight loss and have kept it off give or take 5 pounds for the past ten years. If anyone wants advice, tips, etc please let me know

It really is great to see someone lose the weight and keep it off. Well done I've still got a little ways to go yet before I hit target but in the meantime, what is the thing that has worked for you? What are your tips and whatnot?

Low carb! But not no carb! A lot of people think no carb is the best route but not for maintaining, once you eat carbs again you gain it right back. I'm all about portion control, eat what you want but not as much as you would of had. Excercise about 4-5 per week but add in some weight lifting and ab excercises to tone while you lose weight.
