No one is coming back for second comments in here. I'm wondering what works best for those who lost lots of weight in the past. Seems like a person could spend too much time thinking about food all day, logging and tracking things, than is good for them. I'm at my fattest at the moment, but I know exactly what caused it. I'm just going to stop those 3 things. Salty almonds, potato chips, and frozen great meals my son in law cooks. I can avoid or limit to one at a time M&M peanuts. I'm reducing wine to 6 ounces and then switch to no calorie ginger ale which isn't too sweet. Those already cooked meals are the biggest hazard probably. Anyway, I think I can do this without counting things maybe. I don't want to think about food so much. I may have to throw away my son's creations with pasta in them. Should I tell him though.
I'm very short. 5 pounds makes a difference in how clothes fit. I never have to try on clothes though because I have the weight they fit written on the inside on the pockets. Also Navy or black. I refreshed the color on some black pants with black dye but I can still read the marker numbers thank goodness.
My weight gain started with a gout arthritis attack that put me on crutches for a very short while. Now I do exercises 2 times a day for hip joints laying in bed (for 5 minutes) and ride my bike 10 minutes. I'm getting pretty active again too, but mostly when people do exercise to lose weight they eat more and don't lose. So exercise for better health or to build muscle. Sitting on the couch all day uses hardly any calories. For short me, 900 a day!!! I envy all you taller people who can eat more and lose faster. Get busy, cut out whatever caused you to gain weight.
