[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your height and weight? At your age, I think you can still do it without medication, but agree you should change your thinking on timing. The longer it takes, the better for keeping it off. [/quote]

I’m 5”3 and 165-170. Used to yo-yo between 120-135/140. I work full time and have two little kids so you can imagine my “diet and lifestyle” which I am looking to truly overhaul. [/quote]

I was you - same exact stats. I gained a ton with my pregnancies, did not shed weight easily. When my son was a toddler I was finally able to shed the last 25 pounds pretty easily.  Since time is hard to come by for exercise, you really really have to focus on controlling your diet.  I ate mostly vegetables and drank water and didn’t drink alcohol or have sugar.  It wasn’t that fun but it was effective.  Able to maintain with a more “normal” diet, but do have to focus on portion control (as we all do as we get even marginally older). [/quote]

Oh wow, NP here and this is me almost exactly (I was 5 lb higher than you at my highest). I was a pretty stable weight most of my life before kids but I never lost the weight after my babies, I to also gained a few more pounds at the beginning of the pandemic when I was so stressed out. My youngest is now 4 and I’m finally able to make an effort again. Well at least intermittently. I’ve lost about 5-7 lbs in fits and starts since the fall. It sounds like very little but I have hope that slow and steady win the race [/quote]
