[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went from approximately 195lbs to 155lbs in about 8 months in 2013-2014 as a 32 year old male and have kept it off as I approach 40. I have always lifted weights and done some cardio at the gym my whole life but this never helped me lose weight. I lost weight entirely by cutting portion size and letting my elastic stomach shrink so that slowly, over time, I felt full much quicker. I still have a bad sweet tooth and periodically pig out and cookies or ice cream so try not to keep it around the house. I also like alcohol and probably drink 3 drinks 3 times per week. But the main key is just eating about 25%-33% less each meal. I found that overeating for years had increased the size of my stomach and you don't even realize it. This is the principle behind gastric bypass.[/quote]

This is what I do. I lost 60 pounds in 2018, and weighing daily helps me maintain. Now that I have adjusted to being smaller, when I creep up 5 lbs, I can feel it in my body in a way I that I just hate. My taste buds have adjusted so that while I still have a sweet tooth I don't scarf all the sweet things down like I used to because it's too much. Anyway, I have my stop and drop number and when I hit, I go back to the basics. I don't deprive myself of anything but I watch calories and pay more attention to how much activity I am getting.
