[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you need to readjust the way you are approaching your goal.  Instead of trying to lose 40 pounds at once, maybe try breaking it into more achievable goals of 10 lbs at a time?  When I had my second son, I was weighing around 205 lbs at delivery.  My starting weight when I got pregnant was 165, which was 20 lbs higher than what I weighed when I had my first son.    I lost the first 30 lbs really fast in the first month or so without any effort.  I went from 175 to 165 by doing weight watchers.  I went from 165 to 155 by sticking with weight watchers and adding in regular Peloton rides.  I stayed from 152-155 for a long time, and finally dropped down to my current weight of 145 by continuing to do Peloton bike rides, adding in a few Peloton boot camps, and tracking my food intake on MyFitnessPal.  I’ve been at 145 for a while and would love to get down below 140 and keep my weight around 138.  It has taken me over a year and a half to get where I am, and I’ve had lots of long plateaus along the way with a few pounds gained back and lost again.  I really don’t think I would have been successful at losing all of this weight at one shot, and I tell myself its easier to keep off since it has come off slowly for a year and a half. [/quote]

Np here.   I have 40 pounds to lose and this sounds like a reasonable approach for me.  I did Atkins (basically Keto, I guess) 15 years ago, when I was single and childless, and though it was really effective for weight loss, it is unsustainable for me now as a working mom already short on patience.  It also make me feel physically sick (weak, bad breath, etc.).  Anyway, thanks for sharing and congrats on your success![/quote]
