[quote=Anonymous]In 2009 I lost about 20 pounds and I’ve kept it off. I first started by getting a Bodybugg—they’re now obsolete but exactly the same premise as a Fitbit—and getting a package of 6 personal training sessions at my gym. I’ve always been a good athlete but I needed some accountability and I also wanted to learn some new exercises and how to use the newer kinds of equipment like a TRX and stuff. I tracked my food, every bite, with the Bodybugg app, and later transitioned to Fitbit which i still use to log food and track steps to this day.

I wanted to train for a half marathon. I’ve actually always been a runner but fell out of it when I got Lyme disease. So I signed up for one that was several months out. If you’ve never run before, you could start with a similar goal but on a smaller scale, like a couch to 5K plan. For me, Running is the best fat burner.

I don’t subscribe to food diets where you cut out entire groups of things. It’s unsustainable and if you ever stop, you’ll gain everything back. For me, it’s moderation, working within a calorie parameter. Yes I can have ice cream or pasta but I have to adjust the rest of the day’s intake, and I measure my food.

I’m 37 now. I’ve only gained back about 3 pounds but I’m still the same size and when I was at my lowest weight. I lost the 20 pounds over about 10-12 months, but lost the first 10 or so fairly quickly. I wasn’t super large to begin with. I went from 145 to 125. [/quote]
