      OMG Thanks!! I' started doing that consistently, just about a month ago, then had to buy a new business suit, and bought my normal size, but the lady said the jacket was sizing bigger, so I got a smaller size for the whole thing, and the pants were bigger, in the smaller size! Thanks your accomplishment is amazing and inspiring at the same time!!! Kudos to you!!! and good luck to me!

      Same here, I'm down 28 lbs with minimal exercise. I try to aim for around 1500 a day but I have cheat days where I go over by 500 to 1000 every now and then (it's good to treat yourself sometimes) I really recommend calorie counting using my fitness pal, it takes a little while to get used to but you'll find yourself quickly dropping down clothe sizes and become more knowledgeable about managing calories and what foods you should eat each day. The best part about calorie counting to me is that even if I have a bad day and have some cake or something, I'm usually still at a deficiet since my cap is 1500 and I burn around 2500 on average each day. It's nice knowing that even if you mess up its not a huge deal and you can just get back on track the next day :) wishing you all the best of luck!!

I’m recovering from a binge eating disorder and I’m trying my best to heal my broken relationship with food.

    Facts! Iv lost 70lbs doing the same thing 240lbs to 170lb. And no it doesn’t happen over night. This took me 2 years. I eat about 300 hundred calorie deficit but walk 1 hour a day to get me a total of 500 calorie deficit. The biggest tip I can give to others trying to lose weight is to WEIGH your food. Look at the nutrition label and see how many grams is in 1 serving of that food. Most people who eyeball their food end up eating more calories than they think which will slow down your weight loss. If you’re thinking you’re in a 500 calorie deficit but actually only in a 200 calorie deficit you’ll think counting calories doesn’t work. Remember don’t forget to track sneaky calories like oils and sauces. Don’t drink your calories, eat them you’ll be more full. I promise you this works.

    I have been working with a trainer and am down 56 since July 2, 2021, total loss of 103.4 since Nov 2019. I am one of those on the 1200 calorie a day diet, eating 90g of carbs and losing significantly. No weight loss surgery either. Counting calories and working out is the only way to get it done! 😊
    I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in May 2021 with an A1c of 10.2. With change of diet and exercise I was down to an A1c of 5.1 in Aug 2021. To those out there, it can be done, don’t give up hope.

    Yes I agree. I started doing this and it's so sustainable and makes me feel in control. Plus it helps me to allow myself to deduct or carry over those extra calories into the next day. And I'm aware that for ie) no today I will not eat that specific food bc I already ate that amount in calories yesterday. I keep a food, serving and calorie journal and I'm losing so it works for me. Plus I'm not into committing to keto, or ww, or veganism. This method works bc I can have whatever I want in a healthy way....and being aware of every foods calories makes you rethink what you are eating and why. It's an ongoing process but it's healthy bc it's a lifestyle not a diet.

    Wow, I'm really loving this video. Clear, concise, to the point, no dancing around the subject. I've always been someone who has really struggled to lose any weight without serious exercise. I've recently gone on a health kick though and have really cleaned up WHAT I'm eating, not just how much, but this video really speaks to me and explains a lot. Kudos!

    She's right about keto having some serious side effects though. I've been keto for a year and it's increased my energy, improved mental clarity, reduced cravings, stabilized my weight, balanced my hormones, and made every meal more satisfying... I'd love to send her my latest bloodwork chart to show how fabulous my vitamins, minerals, blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides are!

      Scott D, The key is staying on the plan long enough to find out whether it works for you. If it works you must stay on it for the rest of your life, more or less. The mistake people make is to use the diet as a temporary remedy and go back to eating badly when the weight is lost. That is yoyo dieting resulting in a messed up metabolism.

    The problem it is very hard to constantly count calories and weigh and measure your food. Very few people can do this for their entire lives. If you eat foods that are not calorie dense, 500 calorie per pound or less, you can eat until comfortably full, without over eating calories. This means fill your plate with unprocessed green and yellow vegetables, starchy vegetables (potatoes, quinoa, rice), and fruit. The unprocessed fibre and water in these foods are what make you feel full without having to count calories, and you won't exceed your calorie requirement for the day.
