[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Upper 50’s and lost weight about 25 lbs a few years ago using MyFitnessPal and have kept it off. I logged all of my food and exercise and increased my overall water consumption. It was a big adjustment to see what I could eat and stay within my calorie defect.

I was always tall and thin with great metabolism but menopause hit me like a ton of bricks. I had been able to eat whatever I wanted without gaining weight.

Thankfully I didn’t have any health issues so the diet and exercise program worked for me. I acknowledge that for some people, GLP-1’s are necessary because their bodies don’t process insulin so no judgment from me for those who need them. I have friends where traditional diet and exercise alone don’t work for them. [/quote]

I could have written this, except that I am very envious of friends on GLP1s because weight loss seems much easier for them. Diet and exercise works for me for weight loss because I am regimented about both, my diet in particular. I have to constantly think about and pre-plan my meals, and feel like I live on a diet.

I met an old friend for brunch today and we both lost about 25 lbs over the past 1.5 years, hers by using a GLP1 and mine by changing my diet (we both always exercised and continue to do so). We both got omlettes- I had mine without cheese and didn’t touch the home fries and had 1/2 a piece of dry toast, and basically I won’t be able to eat again until dinner unless something like plain yogurt. She ate her omlette with cheese, ate half the home fries and a piece of buttered and jellied toast. [/quote]
