tl;dr bits

  • Counted calories and weighed food (shocking revelation: portions matter! 🤯)
  • No Keto, no IF, no trainers, no fancy programs - just basic calorie deficit
  • Built muscle (big muscles burn more than tiny ones)
  • Increased protein to 30-40% of daily calories
  • Cut out alcohol for 4+ months (now does low-cal tequila drinks)
  • Used Happy Scale app to track progress
  • Got a standing desk because sitting is apparently not exercise
  • No Ozempic, no gummies, no supplements - just boring old diet and exercise

tl;dr bits

  • Used Slimming World app instead of in-person meetings (because who needs public weigh-ins?) - lost about 1lb per week
  • When gyms closed, found Passion Fit online - run by a 40+ instructor who doesn't scream at you or blast music (thank goodness)
  • Success factors: meal planning with family, steady weight loss pace, allowed to eat carbs (shocking!), and having workout buddies
  • COVID health risks for overweight people served as extra motivation
  • Key habits: weekly meal planning, regular dog walks, family support, and not obsessing over the scale
