I’m one of those people who seems to gain weight by looking at food.
I’ve cut out processed foods, sugar and the like to almost none. It helped a lot and Wellbutrin has helped me a great deal. Craving stuff is way down.
Lost about 32 pounds in the past two months.
My Fitness Pal, the pay version, is a worthwhile tool.
Of course keeping track (MFP helps bigly) is the key. Exercise helps a lot but is NOT GOING TO HELP if you don’t watch your intake.
I have been using MFP for a little over a year and working out at least 3x a week... sometimes cardio, sometimes resistance training. I have not lost a lot of weight, I have lost some. BUT my body shape has changed. I have more muscle, and I feel much much healthier.
I used a personal trainer for a while, they showed me two or three different workout routines to do. Now I just go through the routines on my own.
Hope this helps.
