    Hands down for me is to accurately log everything. Which is why this is my third tour of duty. After I reach target I stop logging at some point. Then I gradually gain 5-10 and then start again. I've accepted this is the way it works for me.

    The trigger for me was learning to listen to my body

    My trigger was when I decided to weigh myself on the scale near the end of March and found out I gained 50 Ibs during the pandemic :#

    In my case my wife sent me for diabetes tests and I am just over the edge for type 2. In anticipation of that I already started a free health and fitness programme near where I live called Counterweight. We are 6 weeks in and I've lost 23 pounds so far through diet and exercise. Calorie logging has been a helpful revelation for me. A fitness watch has also been useful, plus being weighed each week at my group sessions is motivational.

    A couple things did, I was unhappy with my weight gain for a long time but what really kicked my butt to actually put the work in was not fitting in my favourite skirts. I love my clothing and my skirts are typically bought from unique little shops, there is no going back to buy a bigger size. I was distrot and decided enough was enough... I'm getting back in those clothes again!

    OMG that's my story (almost)

    When I stop drinking milk, soda, or if I am stressed. I was stuck for a long time then stress happened so I started intermittent fasting and cut back on milk and soda works every time. I lost 8 more pounds.

    When I stopped eating at 8 PM and only started eating min 12 hours later (not earlier).

    And eating meals at the right time of the day to keep from getting too hungry/full

    I don’t know. I guess it was just time. A few years ago I gained 30 lbs on antidepressants and lost some of it but it was not fit. I was just sort of a normal weight. After my dog died I started gaining weight again and I didn’t want to keep gaining weight so I started excircisng regularly. It was like hell at first lol. But I was seeing results so that kept me motivated . Now this summer, I’m fixing my diet so I can feel really great about myself , because even tough I got that excercise habit I was regularly overeating but making excuses, oh it’s cause I work out (I need more food) etc. since joining fitness pal and doing regular food journaling I feel so much healthier and not constantly bloated! I was even diagnosed with hashimotos disease a few years ago so I need to watch my diet

    What triggered my weight loss journey was when I stepped on the scale and underestimated my weight gain. I went form 125 to 170 Ibs. I didn't want to reach 200 so I decided on that day to exercise and eat right.

    This was my reason for initially losing the first 35-40 lb. I finally got to the last 5-10 lb. by approaching age 40 and realizing I'd been trying to lose those last few pounds for several years.
