I'm really struggling with finding any weight loss lately. I had a pretty easy time last year, staying around 1400 net calories (1200 is not sustainable for me at 5'8") but this year I feel like I'm doing the same thing (probably closer to 1500/1600 net) but nothing budges. Can a few hundred calories really make all the difference between losing and maintaining?0

Hello @KerryITD,
Weight loss is a delicate balance, isn’t it? You can be cruising along at the same calorie intake and losing weight then you hit a brick wall and the scale doesn’t move down or it goes up.
You have to find your variables… how much water are you drinking…are you eating later in the day… has your exercising/walking changed…

I started at 240 pounds on August 28th, 2021.
I weighed 194.4 on November 22, 2021.
45.6 pounds lost - another 45 pounds that I want to lose by May 2022. I am halfway there:)
I am 5'8" tall and 63 years old.
What worked for me is the following:
16:8 intermittent fasting every day (I chose 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.)
Eating as many vegetables I wanted (I put it in a blender and made gazpacho soup), diced fresh fruit and fresh berries, and 2 ounces of nuts or 2 tablespoons of skippy creamy peanut butter a day.
For traditional protein sources I also had 4 oz. of filet mignon every other week with a demi glace sauce; 4 oz. of chicken breast once a week and 4 oz. of smoked salmon once a week.
I logged everything I ate on MFP, as well as how long a time I had walked that day.
NO sugar or artificial sugars, no oils of any kind, dairy, processed meats, or white flour/pasta/bread/rice/potatoes.
I gave away virtually everything in my refrigerator or pantry that would tempt me on a typical day. Salad dressing, Milk, butter, cheese, salami, candy, chocolate, frozen quiche, mac & cheese, ice cream, etc.
I only drank water or hot tea without any sugar or honey.
I walked 30 minutes - 60 minutes, six days a week.
I only weighed myself once a week (I chose Sunday mornings).
I avoided going to other peoples' homes for a meal; It would have been impossible to eat clean.
What didn't work for me is when the cravings would start overwhelming me, or I would have a horribly stressed out day. I cheated a few times over the 12 weeks.
Once with a hamburger with bun, BBQ sauce & fries.
Once with a lunch of chinese food and white rice.
Twice with a caesar salad with heavy dressing and croutons.
Once with a bowl of pasta carbonara.
I beat myself up pretty good afterwards. And then got right back on track.
I kept my mind focused on the end goal. Improving all of my blood test numbers (blood sugar, heart, cholesterol, etc.; and getting the scale down.
I did a 3 day 'water only with electrolytes' fast after I cheated. Stayed home and stayed out of the kitchen except for a teaspoon of pepperoncini juice for flavor on the third day. Shocking how good that tasted when you've only had water for 60 hours!!
I didn't even think about my clothes being too big - and I have gone from a 5x bathrobe that was tight to a 2x bathrobe today; and from wearing 3XXX sweatshirts and XL men's basketball sweat pants - to wearing XL sweatshirts and L men's basketball sweat pants.
Not sure why the clothes haven't gotten even smaller, but I really don't care. The numbers on the scale say it all to me.
Some people have noticed the difference and started making comments:):)3 -
p.s. this isn't the first time I have been heavy and lost weight (and then gained it all back again through overeating). I have been overeating for the last 15 years, but 240 was the heaviest I have ever been. I weighed 130 pounds when I was in my 20's, 30's and almost all of my 40's.
I would go gangbusters, lose a bunch of weight - and then get discouraged about something, or stressed, and eat and eat and eat, stop writing down my meals on MFP and just give up.
I didn't realize that I am an emotional eater - but I am.
I also wasn't worried about blood sugar or cholesterol or my heart. Now at 63, I REFUSE to have anything but good numbers, naturally. No prescription meds with side effects, and no insulin shots.
I believe our bodies can heal ourselves naturally if we give them the chance to over time.
I ma living proof with my HbA1c starting at 6.9 on Aug 28th and going down to 5.5 on November 8th.
Keep the faith, everyone! Taking care of your health is being good to yourself. You deserve that loving!0 -
