[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lost 45 pounds at 48 without apps and calorie counting.  It took less than a year (probably 8 months).  It took me over a decade to put that weight on and I was consistently eating at least 3000+ calories that whole time - I was lucky to not be obese.

While losing the weight, I still had 3 meals and snacks daily, but I cut way back on added sugar (like under 5 or 10g/day) and didn't drink any calories. I ate a lot of oatmeal, plain yogurt, fruit, veggies, eggs, lean protein, but did not give up carbs.  I walked 5 miles on an inclined treadmill daily. I doubt my calories ever dipped below 1500. Tracking and frequent weighing were not an option for me because I had an ED as a young adult and dIdn't want my mind to go there again.

I've kept the weight off for almost 3 years. I probably eat 2000 calories for maintenance (I'm the same weight I was in HS).  I spend an hour on the Peloton bike 6x/week, but keep it moderate.  My body image, activity level  and relationship with food are good for the first time in my life.  I wish I had done it sooner, but I didn't have the right mindset.  Finding the motivation to get started was the hardest part. It sounds like you're there, OP - good luck![/quote]

For an hour on the Peloton, are you stacking workouts?[/quote]
