i didn't count caloires but ate six meals a day,whole foods paired with protein, carbs, vegs and fruit.
i credit my success to feeding my body all day long,drinking a lot of water, eliminating all sodium and sugar from my diet.
looking at my "before" picture every day..and especially on days when i don't feel motivated..keeps me on track.
Twenty years ago I lost 70 pounds doing exactly this. Ignore the people who “woo” at it.4 -
1. How much weight you lost so far 25 lbs
2. How long it took I've been doing this for about 4 months
3. How was your maintenance? Not there yet
4. In short, what works? Prelogging my days and using a food scale to weigh all my food and log as accurately as possible.3 -
~12 lbs
2 to 3 months
Logging EVERYTHING I ate keeping it under 1200 cal
Eating only healthy foods
No Process Foods

4. Hospital sponsored weight loss program w weekly weigh ins (accountability); logging foods; walking 5-7 days a week for an hour; no diet sodas, replaced with sparkling water; more protein and less processed food;
not quitting when I cheat (because you will cheat and probably should to remember to “see above” and what got you where you want to go.)0 -

@45 lbs, 5 months, 1 month maintenance "break" (I had several social events, birthdays, vacation, etc. lined up and I knew I'd be challenged to stay in a deficit, so I aimed to hold steady. Still tracked calories, just not as stringently, and ate things I no longer make a habit of...cake, wine, bread. After a month I gained 1 lb. Yay!) I took several days to ease back into my plan, and now I'm back on track and satisfied. This is what it's all about, I think.1
