Default I'm crashing your party!

Even if I'm the only one here.
Long story short (will be an all too familiar story for many of you):

Lost a bunch of weight a couple years ago, got derailed, am back. Again. Actually, again again. I've been back a couple of times.

Method:

Live. I'm not counting calories, or doing low anything (except, meat, really, because I haven't had any meat for 30+ years. Except the one time there was the roast chicken incident. We won't talk about that.) So that means

Eat healthy, balanced food, get more exercise, keep booze and junk to a minimun (once a week?) and see how it goes. It worked before and was maintainable. I'll fill out the bio if anybody wants to read it- I have one somewhere in the 40+ forum, but it's buried deep.

Good luck to us all.

Oh, and my weight there on the left isn't accurate, but I can't bring myself to change it. It's probably more like 117kg. Will make a new ticker as soon as I figure out how...

Thanks, Lurchmomma! We used to have a weekly weigh-in thread in the 40+ thread- if i don't find one here, I think I'll carry it over, if you don't object. We seem to be the only ones here...

So you turned 50 as well, eh? Me too

Same story as yours, lost and gained it all back and some more. I have lost 17 pounds and somehow I am feeling ready to lose the weight again.

It's odd, isn't it, Sum38. When it works, it works, and when it doesn't, it doesn't. Why is that?

I think my head is in the right place right now. I literally stopped making excuses. I was lying to myself And I believed in my own lies. LOL. Now I am 100% honest. -- I am sick and tired of losing weight, wanting to lose weight...so I decided, this time I will do it and be done with it.

Yeah. I would have to say the number 1 vital ingredient to weight loss- and most other things, really- is being honest with yourself!

Today marks 30 days since I started, and I have lost 12 pounds. I had a few bad days, but mostly good days, some great days.

Funny, now that I don't follow restricted died (I don't eat any added sugar, but that is for health reasons), I seem to be doing ok. Maybe learning to eat in moderation is the key for me. I had great results with Whole30, but after 30 days, I basically ate everything I missed and I was right back where I started.

Wow! 12 pounds in 30 days is a lot!

Yeah, the only thing that ever worked for me was a lifestyle change. Otherwise, when I go back to my old ways the weight just comes back on.

I had so much bloat. I think I dropped 6 pounds in 2-3 days.
