[quote=Anonymous]I'm 44 and 5'5". I was 140 before COVID and then I didn't pay attention and gained 35 pounds. I've been working on it for 3 months and I've lost 10 pounds. 25 more to go.

Thankfully I am not super hungry. Going lower carb helps . . . I can't eat pancakes or cereal for breakfast or else I'll be starving at lunch time. So it's a yogurt and chicken sausage, and then for lunch I usually have a mozzarella stick and a Lara bar. Dinner is normal (but a single serving) and then a chocolate for dessert.

I have a chronic illness so working out can be hit or miss, but I've definitely upped my weights and intensity and that's helping too.

I would say that I'm "hungry-ish" a lot of the day. I try to go for the Japanese approach of eating until I'm 80% full. When I get hungry, I do allow myself to eat something . . . a few nuts, a banana, etc. Maybe I would lose faster if I didn't but I want this to be sustainable.

In my 20s I was under 120, but I know that's not sustainable at this age with my limitations. My goal is just to get back to 140. I was really over-eating before so while I'm not under-eating now (1200-1500), I feel like I'm losing kind of slowly, but again, sustainably I hope.[/quote]
