[quote=Anonymous]A month ago, I weighed 190 lbs at 5’10”. This was my all-time high; until I hit 40, I was reliably 150-160 (which may sound high to those of you who aren’t so tall, but it’s a healthy weight and I was happy with it). The weight gain happened after a traumatic family loss, coupled with a health issue that kept me from running (my regular exercise for 20 years). I tried to lose the weight, but I didn’t try very hard.

Then in early April, I decided to completely give up added sugar and almost all bread. And I am avoiding snacks. I also started running again, and was surprised to find it felt good. This morning, I weighed myself and I’m down to 182! I’m kind of shocked—I haven’t been hungry or cranky. I feel great. And the scale change is inspiring me to keep going.

What really helped me was setting a firm line for myself (no sugar, no snacking, no bread) and listening to Weight Loss for Busy Physicians as if it were a meditation. It just keeps the goal fresh in my mind and serves to remind me of all the ways I can train my brain to do better.

Those who are also having success: What do YOU find works for you? Other than Ozempic. ;) [/quote]
