How are you able to reach your weight loss goals? Weight loss drugs? What type of exercise? Change in nutrition?

@yinyang I don’t eat gluten (I seem to have an allergy to gluten or something I’m going to a gi dr next month) and eat two small meals a day with at most 1 SMALL snack (I don’t usually snack) and make sure I never get full to the point of “pain” I also eat slowly (I have a t tongue ring that moves that if I eat to fast I bite it so it helps me eat slower) I can post a pic of my tongue ring if you want I also eat filling foods so not many salads (they don’t fill you up and in my opinion are for taste only)

@Twialine The time I would need to lose 19 pounds is 2-months (1-month per 10lbs) and that was my best effort on my treadmill. However, congrats on reaching your weight loss goal.

That weight loss might just be water weight and not actual loss of fatty tissue. Big difference. For me, there is a daily maximum weight, minimum weight and an average weight. Body changes throughout the day so…

@yinyang true I’ll find out soon when my scale reads 200 lbs I’m gonna call my pcp (she has a weight loss program where she reads if what you’re losing is muscle, water, or fat every 2 months and I’ll go in early if I hit my goal early) I’m really happy so far I’ll probably need my a1c checked at that point since I’m diabetic! I’m hopeful I’ll get off metformen someday (my stepdad got off insulin and was no longer considered diabetic so I’m hopeful in that area as well!)

I got off diabetes meds too. It’s definitely possible. How much water do you drink each day?

I’m not sure if this quote was for me but I drink Gatorade Zero. I purchase a case of 24 bottles.

Ok @Twialine . In that case it might be water weight. Try putting crystal lite or something in your water so you drink more
