Well I've been working on it for exactly 3 years now, and hit my goal weight at the end of August. The first 23 lbs were just me switching out Coca Cola for water. Then I started tracking what I was already eating. Then I cut back 200 calories. Then I upped my exercise. It is slow, and small steps, but it's worth the wait to lose the weight.
I am 4x as active as I was before, I am the fittest I have ever been, and I'm rockin' my 30s. Now I'm tall, 5'10" and I started out at 275. I never ate fewer than 1500 calories to lose, because I was active. You'll find what works for you, but honestly, it's 80% what you put in your mouth. I am an avid tracker, and I cook from scratch 6-7 days a week. It's work, but it works.
Hope that helps! Feel free to ask me anything! 2295 days ago
