Same. I can lose weight by cutting out dairy, carbs, sugar, and alcohol, plus strength training and circuits. Works slowly, but predictably until I relax a tiny bit then BOOM right back on it goes. My middle aged body wants to be a size 8 and it’s constant effort to keep it at a 6. Not sure it’s worth it, though I worry about that creeping up more over the next few decades.

Noom is working for me! It’s basically calorie counting with a side of cognitive behavioral therapy and accountability.

Congrats! I know many people who have success with the limited sugar/bread/carbs method. Great job!

Calorie counting and an hour of cardio every day with weight lifting after. Starting weight was 230 after giving birth to third kid, weighed in at 211 this morning.
But I have also been taking Naltrexone.

A month ago, I weighed 190 lbs at 5’10”. This was my all-time high; until I hit 40, I was reliably 150-160 (which may sound high to those of you who aren’t so tall, but it’s a healthy weight and I was happy with it). The weight gain happened after a traumatic family loss, coupled with a health issue that kept me from running (my regular exercise for 20 years). I tried to lose the weight, but I didn’t try very hard.
Then in early April, I decided to completely give up added sugar and almost all bread. And I am avoiding snacks. I also started running again, and was surprised to find it felt good. This morning, I weighed myself and I’m down to 182! I’m kind of shocked—I haven’t been hungry or cranky. I feel great. And the scale change is inspiring me to keep going.
What really helped me was setting a firm line for myself (no sugar, no snacking, no bread) and listening to Weight Loss for Busy Physicians as if it were a meditation. It just keeps the goal fresh in my mind and serves to remind me of all the ways I can train my brain to do better.
Those who are also having success: What do YOU find works for you? Other than Ozempic.
