I am overweight

I had hell putting on my clothes. I’m almost 200lbs. I am cutting out meat and junk food. It makes me sick. I’m going to do it the right way. Who here is even a little bit over? What would you do?

I’m over weight also. I’ve been trying to eat smaller portions, move more and eat more fruits and veggies. Its so hard though. Food is like a drug to me.

For many years, I was pretty good even on all my meds.

I have covid weight now, however. I’m starting to buy new clothes in larger sizes,

I replaced my sugar intake with sugar free sweetener, Splenda and whenever I want something sweet I use 0 calories sugar free Mio water enhancer, its sweetened with Splenda, it tastes like juice, great. I also replaced my breakfast with a 180 calories protein bar 21g protein.

From Amazon Canada but also Walmart and other stores have them. It costs 3$ per bottle which makes 24x 250ml.

I weighed 240 pounds (109 kg) before I started my new lifestyle. To lose weight, I exercised 5 days per week and ate 1200 calories per day. I tracked my calories by using MyFitnessPal. In 13 months, I lost 100 pounds (45 kg). You can do this! It’s hard, but it is possible

I did a similar thing with smoking, last year around sept. I started walking twice a day and quit smoking… so far so good. I’m not sure I could do that with my weight though.

Yes smoking :smoking: is a nasty habit. You’ll save money for other things. Hugs

More vegetables and fruits, cut down on sugary foods and excess carbs and exercise more.
