[quote=Anonymous]Slowly lost weight and maintained.   Still some pounds to lose but I could be happy at this weight.  I haven’t regained and sustainable.   And losing weight was always very hard.   Here is what I learned.

Weigh daily to prevent weight gain (I can gain quickly but lose slowly).  Someone on this forum recommended happy scale app.  I’m a STEM person and like moving averages to smooth out fluctuations so it’s a great fit for me.

I love exercise but it doesn’t equate to weight loss.  I think of them totally different.  And do exercise for health and the mental benefits.  It’s my destressor to work out everyday or work out hard with a tough week.

I fast routinely modest hour as pre-diabetic.  I don’t think it helps lose weight on its own  but I do think it supports weight maintenance and great for blood sugars.  I don’t get Hangry anymore which indirectly may help on weight loss.  .

I have the mindset that I’m ok losing very very slowly - think 1 to 1.5 lb a month but in a year that adds up

To lose weight, I have to do the old fashion cut calories.  I push hard for a week or two than go back to maintenance mode.   I have a stressful life with job and  kids with medical issues that are always changing  - so I try to be kind to myself    Two weeks push than maintenance works for me.
