[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should consider intermittent fasting. Like you, I had lost 20lbs before by working out and eating better, but that was years ago, now that I am older and had a baby it's been a bit more difficult.

Even working out everyday I wasn't losing as much as I wanted to, so I tried intermittent fasting and it has been amazing, seeing changes keeps me going. I lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks.

+1 I eat from 1-7 or 8 pm only, and nothing but water or black coffee in the morning from when I wake up until lunch. Also I suggest you try to stick to 1200 calorie per day when in weight loss mode. I don’t eat bread or wheat products, almost no rice and grains, only lean protein like tuna, salmon, chicken, and salads with no dressing, roasted or grilled vegetables w a little olive oil and lemon. Eat berries for fruit rather than apples. Don’t snack between meals, don’t drink alcohol. Very hard to start but I’ve lost 26 lbs since July, from size 14 to 10, and I do have cheat days if we have an event or concert to go to...then I eat some carbs and have a few drinks, but this is only once every few weeks as I found that 1 cheat day can undo a whole weeks worth of restricted eating now that I’m 50. I dont exercise bc my job is pretty demanding right now, so this works for me. Good luck, ionly gets harder as you get older— This is not post- pregnancy weight for me but rather I ate whatever I wanted for 3 years and gained 40 lbs! If I knew it would be this difficult to lose I would have tried harder not to gain the weight in the first place.[/quote]
