Since calories matter, this didn't work for me. I've tried it before, and it caused me to gorge during my eating window. Plus, it made me dread avocados, which I always loved. I've tried it before, and it never worked after the initial 10-15 pounds. I'm not criticizing any of the following, just listing the methods I didn't employ since they are often used: To begin, here's what I did NOT do to lose weight. So while the eighties child in me does not necessarily bristle if someone occasionally says an encouraging "You look thinner!" or "You've lost weight!"

Though I had gained considerable weight over the past three years and I definitely wanted to slim down for Alex's wedding in May, what motivated me the most was just wanting to feel better and have more energy. Second, "skinny" has not been my primary goal. You know your bod and yourself better than anyone! But don't take it as gospel, and definitely talk to your doctor before starting anything new. I've gotten a few questions lately about how I've lost weight over the past few months, so I thought I'd write a post! I'm writing this not as a self-celebration (since it's still very recent, and since I'm still working on it), but (hopefully) as inspiration-because as a 52-year-old lover of food and avoider of exercise, I just really want to share what worked for me.įirst, I can't emphasize this enough: Everything I'm about to lay out worked for me, and if any of it helps you or inspires you, that's wonderful.
