My weight loss

So a lot of my weight loss is from being poor and skipping meals but ive also worked on eating healthier and i basically cut myself off of soda, tho i do have some here and there so i dont go insane lol.

You look great! I wish i could stop the diet sodas, i hear they’re even worse for me than regular sodas. Good job!

Try carbonated water with a twist of lime. Refreshing and I find it helps a bit with hunger.

very good advice!!!

I used to drink loads of diet sodas and now I have learned to drink carbonated water with sugar free juice extract. it is so much better for teeth! my teeth were really corroded with the acids in diet sodas and now I have quit them nearly 100%. I drink one diet soda after sauna every saturday. I used to drink sugar free energy drinks too but I quit them as well. so much better this way.

All my life I drank diet pop pretty continuously and shot up to 208 lbs. Then, I changed AP meds and switched to drinking coffee and water only. I lost 60 lbs. as a result. Then, I switched back to my original AP med and slowly gained back 25 of those pounds while still drinking black, unsweetened coffee and water. And I keep gaining and gaining. Now I’m at a loss for what to do.

Are you getting regular exercise in? Even half an hour of walking each day can start to tip the scale back in the other direction.

Yes. I get 140 to 160 min. of exercise in the forms of yoga and walking combination every week. Been doing it for the last 20 years.

Granted I’m gaining very, very slowly. But gaining nonetheless. @shutterbug

Good on you for the exercise and the weight gain is definitely a phooey. I think aging is a big part of it. I sure as heck need less food these days and the small amount I eat sticks around longer.

loosing weight is so hard especially when youre close to your goal weight. ive been fluxuating between 190 and 210 (or ~200lbs on average) for a long time. Going to get into running as soon as i can since ive sworn off of lifting weights.
