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.

How many calories does this burn?
All of them if you're not careful
I hated to laugh at this.0 -
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 -

Please forgive me. I know I disappoint you on a daily basis.
You think waaaaaay too highly of me.
If it wasn't for God, I'd probably be swinging on a pole right now (and not for the calories, kwim?)0 -

If I achieved all these sort of problem assessment/solutions on my own and lost 70lbs without ever praying, does that make me God?3 -

I think it's the whole God thing. Some people get a little sensitive. I've been flagged for less.0 -

Good for you that you achieved your weight loss goal.
I struggled for years.
I needed God to get over what I've been through.
Can we please not argue over it?
You have your way you succeeded. I have mine.
Have a lovely day.0 -
I too like long walks on the beach and cheesey romance novels.....1

Also, instead of focusing on food abundant Americans, can God help the children in Yemen figure out their calorie needs?
This is why we should appoint me God...just sayin'3 -

Surita, how did you succeed?
Because you look fabulous!1 -
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.
I guess, I qualify for a walking dead then but I like it outside, (hiking camping bike rides and all) and no one's complaining yet, so I just keep walking. Depression attacks often ruin my good efforts, I start over a lot0
